Answer:

The answer is 9.38%

Explanation:

This is a semiannual paying coupon. And it means West Corp pays interest twice a year.

N(Number of periods) = 24 periods ( [14years - 2 years ago] x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $1,030 ( 103% x $1,000)

PMT( coupon payment) = $49 ( [9.8 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 24; PV = 1.030; PMT = 49; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 4.69

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond for annual is 9.38% (4.69% x 2)

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. Tasha: "If coffee drinkers expect the price of coffee to rise next month, then current demand will go up and lead to a price increase this month."

This is the only one with incorrect economic analysis

Explanation:

A. is correct because a shortage of supply would drop the price as we can see in the Graph 1 with the supply curve.

B. is correct because if the two goods are substitues then a lower price for caffeinated soft drinks like Mountain Dew would cause the consumer demand for coffe to go down because the consumers would prefer the good with lower price, rising the demand for Mountain dow in detriment of coffe.

C. is correct as we can see in the Graph 1, the increse in the demand would generate a higher price but it would make the demand go back to D1

D. is incorrect because if coffee drinkers consume more coffee this monht the price would lower.

All else being equal, does elastic or inelastic demand curve result in higher social surplus? How does elasticity of supply affe
disa [49]

Answer:

An elastic demand curve will result in higher social surplus. Social surplus equals consumer surplus plus supplier surplus, or simply total surplus. The highest possible social surplus is reached at the equilibrium point.

If a product's demand is completely inelastic, the supplier can increase the price at will, reducing consumer surplus to minimum levels. If a product's demand is completely elastic, then consumer surplus increases while supplier surplus is directly related to shifts in the demand. Higher demand increases supplier surplus.

Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 1.50$1.50. Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by $ 0.12$0
klio [65]

Answer:

The price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today is $66.47

Explanation:

In order to calculate the price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today we would have to calculate first the Present value of dividend of next 5 years as follows:

Present value of dividend of next 5 years as follows=

Year Dividend Discount factor Present value      

a             b          c=1.085^-a             d=b*c      

1 $       1.62 0.921659 $       1.49      

2 $       1.74 0.849455 $       1.48      

3 $       1.86 0.782908 $       1.46      

4 $       1.98 0.721574  $       1.43      

5 $       2.10 0.665045 $       1.40      

Total                                   $       7.25

Then, we have to calculate the Present value of dividend after 5 years as follows:

Present value of dividend after 5 years=D5*(1+g)/(Ke-g)*DF5

Present value of dividend after 5 years=$2.10(1+6%)/(8.50%-6%)* 0.665045

Present value of dividend after 5 years=$59.22

Current value of stock=Present value of dividend of next 5 years+ Present value of dividend after 5 years    

Current value of stock= $7.25+$59.22      

Current value of stock=$66.47        

The price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today is $66.47
