Answer:

$906.18

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of the present value of the coupon (PVC) cash flow

The formula for calculating the PV of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PVC = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PVC = Present value of the coupon (PVC) payment =?

P = Quarterly coupon amount = $1,000 × (10%/4) = $25

r = interest rate = 12% annual = 12% ÷ 4 quarterly = 3% or 0.03 quarterly

n = number of period = 5 years = 7 × 4 quarters = 28 quarters

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PVC = 25 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+0.03)]^28} ÷ 0.03] = $469.10

Step 2: Calculation of the present value of the face value (PVFAV) of the bond

The simple PV formula is used as follows:

PVFAV = FAV ÷ (1 + r)^n ……………………………………. (2)

Where;

PVFAC = Present value of the face value of the bond = ?

FAC = Face value of the bond = $1,000

r and n are as already given in step 1 above

Substituting these values into equation (2), we have:

PVFAV = FAV ÷ (1 + 0.03)^28 = $437.08

Step 3: Calculation of the market price of the bond

Market price of the bond = PVC + PVFAC …………………………… (3)

From step 1, PVC is $469.10, and PVFAC is $437.08 from Step 2. We can them substitute for them  in equation (3) and have:

Market price of the bond = $469.10 + $437.08 = $906.18

Conclusion

Therefore, she should pay $906.18 for the bond.

Euphrasia, a mixed open​ economy, was severely affected by a recession that almost paralyzed its service sector. The Euphrasian
Flura [38]

Answer:

E) Oil imports declined as countries exporting oil reduced supply.

Explanation:

Oil is extremely important for industrialized nations and since Euphrasia is a mixed open economy, we can assume that it is an industrialized nation. Oil has become the most important energy source for more than 60 years and is the raw material for manufacturing plastic.

During the 1970s and early 1980s the American economy was shattered by an increase in the price of foreign oil and a decrease in its domestic production levels. The importance of oil is also why so many modern wars have been fought over oil production and reserves.

A company's unit costs based on 100,000 units are: Variable costs $75 Fixed costs 30 The normal unit sales price per unit is $16
Basile [38]

Answer:

Incremental profit = $30000

so correct option is a. $30,000

Explanation:

given data

Variable costs = $75

Fixed costs = 30

sales price = $165

to find out

incremental profit or loss  from accepting

solution

we get here contribution per unit will be here as

contribution per unit = $165 - $75

contribution per unit = $90

now we get here loss on contribution for giving up regular sale that is

loss on contribution = $3000 × $90

loss on contribution = $270000

and

now we get Incremental contribution for special order will be

Incremental contribution = (135 - 75) × 5000

Incremental contribution = $300000

and

Incremental profit will be  = $300000 - $270000

Incremental profit = $30000

so correct option is a. $30,000
