Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.

Explanation:

Price risk of a bond is the risk that the bond changes price or rather the degree of price volatility. Bond prices change in reaction to market interest rates with higher rates meaning lower prices and lower rates meaning higher prices.

When the market interest rates rise above the Coupon on a bond, the bond price will fall below par and when the interest rates are below the coupon, the bond will be above par.

A 5% coupon bond will be more prone to changes in prices because market interest rates are generally low and fluctuate below 10% which means that they will affect the 5% bond more than the 10% because there are better chances of rates rising above or falling below 5% than there are of 10%.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Prices ensure an equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

Explanation:

The price mechanism helps in the efficient allocation of resources. There are a number of functions performed by the price mechanism. Prices send signals regarding resources. An increase and decrease in prices reflect surplus and deficit.

Price balances the demand and supply of a product. Price is inversely related to demand and positively related to the supply of a product. It is determined by the interaction of demand and supply and helps in balancing supply and demand.

For instance, an increase in demand would increase the price, this higher price will motivate the suppliers to increase quantity supplied thus balancing demand and supply.

Price helps in coordinating economic activities and helps buyers and sellers in decision making. However, they do not help in equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is higher than that for the Hungarian project.

Explanation:

The break-even point is defined as that point or level of sales in which the total income is equal to the total costs and, therefore, no accounting profit or loss is generated in the operation. It is a mechanism for determining the point at which sales will exactly cover total costs. The breakeven point is also known as the Cost-Volume-Profit ratio, and emphasizes the different factors that affect profit. The break-even point allows determining the minimum number of units that must be sold or the minimum value of sales to operate without losses. The analysis of the break-even point answers the question related to the decisions that must be made about the planning of the profits of a company or an investment project. In this regard, it is convenient to say that the study of any investment project must include the calculation of the sales levels (either in units or in pesos) that are required for reach operational balance.

Exercise 11-1 (Algo) Depreciation methods [LO11-2] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] On Janu

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Straight line depreciation expense each year of the useful life would be $9,600

The double declining method

Deprecation expense in December 2021 = $20,800

Depreciation expense in 2022 = $12,480

Depreciation expense in 2023= $7488

Depreciation expense in 2024 = $4,492.80

Deprecation expense in 2025 = $2695.68

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation method = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

Cost of asset = $52,000

Salvage value = $4,000

Useful life = 5

($52,000 - $4,000) / 5 = $9,600

The straight line depreciation method allocates the same deprecation expense for each year of the useful life of the asset.

So the deprecation expense each year would be $9,600.

Double declining depreciation method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

2 × (1/5) = 0.4

Deprecation expense in December 2021 = 0.4 x $52,000 = $20,800

Net book value = $31,200

Depreciation expense in 2022 = 0.4 x $31,200 = $12,480

Net book value = $31,200 - $12,480 = $18,720

Depreciation expense in 2023 = 0.4 x $18,720 = $7488

Net book value = $18,720 - $7488 =$11,232

Depreciation expense in 2024 = 0.4 x $11,232 = $4,492.80

Net book value = $11,232 - $4,492.80 = $6,739. 20

Deprecation expense in 2025 = 0.4 × $6,739. 20 = $2695.68
