2. Finding the Maturity You've just found a 10 percent coupon bond on the market that sells for par
1 answer:
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the maturity of the bond is as follows;
When the bond sales at par that means the future value is equivalent to the present value. Also the par value is considered as a future value and we assume the par value be $1,000. Also the coupon rate and the market rate is the same i.e. 10%
Now
Present value = $1,000
Future value = $1,000
PMT = 10% of $1,000 = $100
RATE = 10%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the maturity would be
As it shows #VALUE so it is not able to find therefore the maturity would be equal to the par value i.e. $1,000

Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions
Explanation:
In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed. For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.
As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.
Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
