Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": straight line.

Explanation:

Utility represents the satisfaction a person receives from the use of a good or service. In case there is a risk-neutral decision-maker, that individual is unlikely to vary the value he or she provides to the use of products to remain in a comfort zone. However, the utility could vary according to satisfaction the good or service provides in different situations.

Thus, if plotted in a graph, <em>the value representing the horizontal axis and the utility the vertical axis, there will be a straight line departing from the horizontal axis parallel to the vertical axis.</em>

Bond P is a premium bond with a coupon rate of 9 percent. Bond D has a coupon rate of 5 percent and is currently selling at a di
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market

b) bond P = -10.17

 bonds D  = 10.07

Explanation:

we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)

Bond P

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 90.000

time 10

rate 0.07

90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $632.1223

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   508.35

PV c $632.1223

PV m  $508.3493

Total $1,140.4716

then, at time = 9

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 90.000

time 9

rate 0.07

90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $586.3709

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV  

PV   543.93

PV c $586.3709

PV m  $543.9337

Total $1,130.3046

Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17

We repeat the process for bond D

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50.000

time 10

rate 0.07

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $351.1791

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   508.35

PV c $351.1791

PV m  $508.3493

Total $859.5284

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50.000

time 9

rate 0.07

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $325.7616

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV  

PV   543.93

PV c $325.7616

PV m  $543.9337

Total $869.6954

Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07

Advice Florence and her team on how they can convince the staff using john kotter's theory to lead change
shtirl [24]

John Kotter’s theory for leading can help business staffs to improve their performance especially in completing assignments and improving teamwork.  His theory centers on eight steps:

1.       Creating urgency to spur change.

2.       Forming a powerful coalition from people of diverse talents.

3.       Make a vision of change that would inspire and rally your group.

4.       Communicate that vision so that all of you understand what needs to be done.

5.       Remove obstacles that would impede your goals.

6.       Create short-term wins that would help in the short run but will contribute in the long run.

7.       Build on change while the momentum is there.

8.       Anchor that change as a model for others to follow.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Issue price of share = $100

Market price per share = $100

Preferred stock dividend rate = 7%

Computation of dividend per year :

Dividend per year = Issue price of share × Preferred stock dividend rate

Dividend per year = $100 × 7%

Dividend per year = $7

Dividends are always paid to preferred stock at fixed rates at face value.

A company has outstanding 20-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1000, and 11% annual coupon, and a market price of $1,
Helen [10]

Answer:

8% and 4.8%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $1,294.54

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 11% = $110

NPER = 20 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 8%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8% × ( 1 - 0.40)

= 4.8%

Answer:

adding up consumption, investment, government expenses, and net exports

adding up the market prices of final goods and services produced in the U.S

adding up the incomes of producers and taxes paid to the government

Explanation:

GDP is a measure of the sum value of a country's output in a given period. The GDP value reflects economic growth or decline in a country for the period under review.

GDP is calculated using three methods. They include the income, production, and expenditure approach.

In the Income approach, economists add up all the earnings from the factors of production. Wages and salaries of all employees; the profits from businesses and corporates' ; rents, and interests form landlords are summed up to get GDP. Adjustments are made to cater for the taxes paid to the relevant government agencies. ( 4th option)

The production approach involves getting the value of all the finished consumer goods and services in the economy. The approach excludes intermediary goods and work-n progress. GDP is obtained by adding the total of the finished products and services and multiplying them by their prices. (3rd option)

The consumption option applies a formula that GDP = C+G+I+ NX, where C is private consumption expenditure,  G is government consumption and investment expenditure, and I in private investment expenditure. NX is the net imports. ( 1 st option )
