Answer:

-3.91%.

Explanation:

The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:

= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)

= -(7.81) x (0.5%)

= -3.91%

The Convexity Adjustment is given by:

= 0.5 * Convexity *  (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025

= 0.001248375

= 0.0012%

Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%

Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.

An export subsidy will ________ producer surplus, ________ consumer surplus, ________ government revenue, and ________ overall d
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

increase; decrease; decrease; decrease.

Explanation:

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;

I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.

II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.

An export subsidy can be defined as any government policy that encourages the export of goods to other countries while discouraging the sales of goods in the domestic market through the use of tax reliefs, low cost loans, government foreign adverts, etc.

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus, decrease consumer surplus, decrease government revenue, and decrease overall domestic national welfare.

Panner, Inc., owns 35 percent of Watkins and applies the equity method. During the current year, Panner buys inventory costing $
ziro4ka [17]

Answer: $2289

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the gross percentage which would be:

= (Revenue - Cost of goods sold) Revenue

= ($124000 - $86800) / $$124000

= 30%

Therefore, the amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method would be:

= ($21800 × 30%) × 35%

= $21800 × 0.3 × 0.35

= $2289

andriy [413]

Answer:

Wilkens' days in inventory for 2017 = 60.833

Explanation:

Given:

Sales = $1,800,000

Beginning inventory = $160,000

Ending inventory = $240,000

Gross profit = $600,000

Inventory turnover = 6 times

Wilkens' days in inventory for 2017 = ?

Computation of Wilkens' days in inventory for 2017:

Wilkens' days in inventory for 2017 = Number of days in a year / Inventory turnover

Wilkens' days in inventory for 2017 = 365 / 6 times

Wilkens' days in inventory for 2017 = 60.833

Butoxors [25]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the percentage of change is as follows;

a. For 2020 to 2021

= (Net income in 2021 - net income is 2020) ÷ (net income in 2020)

= ($473,000 - $503,000) ÷ ($503,000)

= -5.96% decrease

b .For 2021 to 2022

= (Net income in 2022 - net income is 2021) ÷ (net income in 2021)

= ($521,000 - $473,000) ÷ ($473,000)

= 10.15% increase

In this way it is calculated
