Answer:

assesses the time element of bonds in terms of both coupon and term to maturity and allows structuring a portfolio to avoid interest-rate risk.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.

Duration assesses the time element of bonds in terms of both coupon and term to maturity and allows structuring a portfolio to avoid interest-rate risk.

An interest-rate risk can be defined as the risk associated with bond owners due to fluctuating interest rates. This risk has a direct level of impact on the value of fixed income securities such as bonds.

Which estimating technique uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other proj
VashaNatasha [74]

Parametric estimation is a  techniques that uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other project parameters

Parametric estimation is a quantitative method (statisitical relationship) used to estimate the project cost, resources, and duration based on historical data and other project parameters.

Parametric estimation models are used when:

  1. There is precedent
  2. The model is a unit hence can be scaled up
  3. The parameters required are easily quantifiable

While the other options of this question is incorrect because:

b. grass roots estimating

Cost estimation done by the individuals who will be performing the task being estimated.

c. empirical estimating

Estimation method in which the data is obtained using empirical formulas. It is usually based on an amalgamation of historical data, assumptions, guesses, and personal experience.  

d. analogous estimating

Also called top-down estimating, this is a technique that involves comparing previous projects, personal experiences and cursory cross-referencing observed costs to estimate time resources required. This technique is most useful in the absence of quantifiable data.

Sophia's goal is to run her own bakery. What degree might be beneficial for Sophia to pursue in order to reach her goal?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Bachelor's degree in business management

Explanation:

Computer science and mathematics could help her while running the bakery, but won't be the most beneficial. Elementary education wouldn't really be at all helpful when running a business.

Sophia wants to run her own bakery, which is a business. Therefore, a bachelor's degree in business management will be the most helpful for Sophia.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

1) none of the above  $3828.57 ( E )

2) $1143 ( c )

3)  $24571 ( A )

4)  $17142.86 ( E )

5) 12% ( B )

6) $410 ( B )

7) $2744.95 ( f )

8) $17,489 ( c )

9) $24282.36 ( F )

10) 867

Explanation:

1)  The annual after-tax net returns

net income = cash flow - depreciation

                 = $10500 - \frac{cost of equipment}{estimated life}  =   10500 - (40000/7) = $4785.71

calculate the annual net after tax returns = net income * (1 - Tax rate ) = 4785 * (0.80) = $3828.57

2) Tax savings from depreciation

Tax savings from depreciation = Depreciation amount * Tax rate

                                                   = (\frac{equipment cost}{estimated life} ) * Tax rate

                                                  = (40000/7) * 0.2 = $1142.86 ≈ $1143

3) After tax terminal value in three years

Sale value = $25000,

Book value = 40000 - ( 5714.29 * 3 ) = $22857.13

Gain on sale = sale value - book value = $2142.87

tax rate = gain on sale * tax rate = 2142.87 * 0.2 = $428.57

Terminal value = sales value - tax rate = 25000 - 428.57 ≈ $24571

4) Accumulated depreciation over the three years

= depreciation amount * 3 years

=5714.29 * 3 = $17142.86

5) After tax discount rate

= discount rate * (1 - tax rate )

= 15% * 0.80 = 12%

6) Present value of the after-tax net returns

SOLUTION attached below

7) Present value tax savings from depreciation

= Tax savings from depreciation / ( 1+r)^n  note ; n = 3

= $1142.86 / ( 1 + 0.12 )^3 = $2744.95

8) present value of the after-tax terminal value

Pv of terminal value = Terminal value / ( 1 + r ) ^n

                                = $24571.43 / ( 1 + 0.12 ) ^3 = $17,489

9) Net present value

= net cash flows / ( 1 + r ) ^n

= 34114.29 / ( 1 + 0.12) ^3

= $34114.29 /  1.4049 = $24282.36

Lowering the price from $ 3.50 to $ 2.25 results in an output effect of ​$ nothing and a price effect of ​$ nothing. ​(Enter you
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Question: Sally runs a vegetable stand. The following table shows two points on the demand curve for the heirloom tomatoes she​ sells:

                  Price                  Quantity demanded per week

                $ 3.00                         200,000

                 $ 1.75                         300,000

lowering the price from $3.00 to $1.75 results in an output effect of _______ and a price effect of _______

Answer: Output effect of = 1.75 * 100 = $175,000

              Price effect of =  1.25 * 200000

                                      = -$250,000

Explanation:

Output effect: there would be an increase in quantity sold by 100,000 units at $1.75. This gives the out to be sold

Price effect: since Sally reduces the price to $1.75, she would make a lose of $1.25 ($3.00 - $1.75) on the 200,000 units that could have been sold at $3.00
