Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The coupon payment is annual, meaning it is being paid once a year.

N(Number of years/Number of periods) = 40(20 x 2)

I/Y(Yield-To-Maturity) = ?

PMT(coupon payment) = $40[(80÷2/100) x $1,000]

FV(Future value/Par value) =$1,000

PV(present value or market value) = -828

Now to solve this, lets use a financial calculator (e.g Texas BA II plus)

N= 40; I/Y = ?; PMT = $40; FV = $1,000; CPT PV = -828

The cost of debt is 5%

Note that this is for semiannual. The annual cost of debt is therefore, 10%(5% x 2)

You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.05 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with 2 risky securities, X
Leokris [45]

Answer:

% in T bills = 18.92%, % in P = 81.08%

Explanation:

Portfolio return = Weighted average return

Return of portfolio P = 0.14*0.6 + 0.10*0.4

Return of portfolio P = 0.124

Let % money in T bills be x

0.11 = 0.05*x + 0.124*(1-x)

0.11 = 0.05x + 0.124 - 0.124x

0.014 = 0.074x

x = 18.92%

Hence, % in T bills = 18.92%, % in P = 81.08%

FIRST SCENARIO: The economy has taken a turn for the worse. The president believes the government should get the economy moving
Deffense [45]

The proposed response of Adam Smith based on each scenario is given below:

<h3>Scenario 1</h3>

He would say that the pricing system should remain the main determinant of the market and the interference of the government was uncalled for.

<h3>Scenario 2</h3>

He would side with the free market system and be an opponent of the law that frowns on importation.

<h3>Scenario 3</h3>

He would support the suspension of the antitrust laws.

<h3>Scenario 4</h3>

He would believe that markets should not be regulated and the free market system should continue.

<h3>Who is Adam Smith?</h3>

He is the father of modern economics for his work in pioneering ideas such as free trade and the gross domestic product

Hence, we can see that the proposed response of Adam Smith based on each scenario is given above.

The demand for textbooks is Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer. Assume that the unemployment rate U is 8 and the price of beer P bee
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: -0.5

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the price elasticity of demand will be calculated as follows:

= dQ/dP × P/Q

where,

dQ/dP = -1

P = 100

Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer

Q = 200 - 100 + 25(8) - 50(2)

Q = 200 - 100 + 200 - 100

Q = 200

Therefore, dQ/dP × P/Q

= -1 × (100/200)

= -1 × 1/2

= -1 × 0.5

= -0.5

The price elasticity of demand is -0.5.
