Subsidies also distort resource allocation by encouraging excessive energy consumption, artificially promoting capital-intensive

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a negative effect of energy subsidizes. Usually governments decide to subsidize energy consumption as a way of helping low income consumers and businesses. But at the end that doesn't happen and the results are quite the opposite. Most of the subsidies are taken by higher income families, e.g. big luxury homes use a lot of electricity. Subsidies end up reinforcing inequalities and the lower income families usually pay a higher percentage of the cost of having them.

On January 1, Year 1, Greenfield, Inc. issues $100,000 of 9% bonds maturing in 10 years when the market rate of interest is 8%.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%

Explanation:

Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).

Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1$

So, everything should look like this.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923$

Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%

Best of luck.

Answer:

The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio

The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,

The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31 - 1 * 1 = 25.2

The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,

Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20

Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31
