Answer:
A Bond's current market value represented by 
is the present value of a bond as on today. Present value of a bond is it's future cash flows in the form of coupon payments and principal repayment discounted at investor's expectation in the market also referred to as Yield to maturity(YTM).
Present value of a bond is given by the following equation,
where C= Annual coupon payments
YTM = Yield to maturity/ cost of debt/ market rate of return on similarly priced bonds
RV = Redemption value of bond
n = number of years to maturity
<u>a. A bond's coupon rate is higher than it's yield to maturity, then the bond will sell for more than face value.</u>
Hence, if the company pays more interest than what is paid in the market on similarly priced bonds, such bonds shall sell at more than their face value.
<u>b. If a bond's coupon rate is lower than it's yield to maturity, then the bond's price will increase over it's remaining maturity.</u>
Similarly, if a bond pays lower rate of interest than the market rate of interest on similarly priced bonds, the bond shall sell at lower than it's face value and the price will increase over the remaining life of such bonds.
Answer:
Nominal gross domestic product (GDP) measures the market value of all the new and legal goods and services produced in a country within a year. While real GDP adjusts nominal GDP to inflation. Since inflation is generally positive, real GDP decreases as inflation increases. The higher the inflation rate, the larger the difference between nominal and real GDP. Depending on which year is used as base year (year 0), the difference that existed in 2010 can be either significant or not.
The difference = ($14,657 / $13,245) - 1 = 10.66%, which means that nominal GDP was 10.66% higher than real GDP. If the base year is 2000 or even 2005/6, the difference is very small since the accumulated inflation would only be 10.66% for all these years. But if the base year was 2008 or even 2009, then the inflation rate is high.
Answer:
80 years
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Simple interest rate charged = 1.25% = 0.0125
Now,
Let principal amount be '$x'
we know, Simple interest = Principal × Interest Rate × Time
Since the debt is doubled this means the interest is equal to the principal amount
Therefore,
$x = $x × 0.0125 × Time
or
1 = 0.0125 × Time
or
Time = 1 ÷ 0.0125
or
Time = 80 years
Answer:
each policy will pay $25,000 of the loss
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the each policy will pay $25,000 of the loss. This is an equal share for each policy and is due to them having the pro rata liability clause. This clause states that a policy is only liable for an equal percentage of the loss if the insurer has other policies from other companies. As in this case.
Answer: Cause or no cause took place
Explanation: There are various steps taken to determine whether there is reasonable cause (evidence exists that workplace discrimination occurred) between employees took place. The EEOC will investigate this situation by applying the following procedures:
1. The EEOC investigator will request that the charging party and the organisation provide information on the situation. The investigator will then go through this info and make a recommendation on if reasonable cause does exist.
2. If the EEOC investigator determines that reasonable cause exists, then this investigator will issue a letter of determination stating this fact, to all parties involved. All the parties including the investigator will then discuss how to resolve this charge through a process known as conciliation.
3. If however it is determined that reasonable cause for workplace discrimination did not take place, then the investigator will issue the charging party and the organisation with a dismissal and notice of rights document. This document stipulates that the charging party has 90 days to file a lawsuit in federal court if he/she decides to take further action against the organisation.
