Explanation:
The current price of the bond can be calculated by using the formula:
Answer:
$28,800
Explanation:
I will just assume that there are three equal annual principal payments of $480,000. If we use $550,000, the total principal would = $1,650,000.
accrued interests from September to December = principal x (9%/12) x 4 months
principal = $480,000 x 2 = $960,000
accrued interest payable = $960,000 x 0.75% x 4 = $28,800
Answer: 24.60 minutes (2dp)
Explanation:
The question is essentially asking that we find the Standard Time it takes to serve a customer.
To do this we would have to calculate the averages of the different elements and then use this to find the normal time which we can then use to find the Standard Time.
Element 1
= (3 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3)/5
= 3.4
Element 2
= ( 9 + 8 + 10 + 11 + 10)/5
= 9.6
Element 3
= ( 7 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 8)/5
= 7.2
We then calculate the normal times by multiplying each of the individual means with their performance ratings.
That would be,
Element A
= 3.4 * 70%
= 2.38
Element B
= 9.6 * 110%
= 10.56
Element C
= 7.2 * 120%
= 8.64
We then add up the normal times to get the total normal time
= 2.38 + 10.56 + 8.64
= 21.58 minutes
Now we can solve for the standard time using this formula,
Standard time = Normal time (1+Allowance factor)
= 21.58 ( 1 + 0.14)
= 24.6012 minutes
= 24.60 minutes (2dp)
The time per unit customer served is 24.60 minutes.

Answer:
The correct option is A, Samantha weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
Explanation:
The opportunity formula comes handy in this case, which is given below:
opportunity cost formula=what one sacrifices/what one gains
If Samantha were to weed flower beds, opportunity cost is computed thus:
Opportunity cost of Samantha weeding flower beds=8/4= 2 bags of leaves raked
The opportunity of Adam weeding flower beds=25/5 =5 bags of leaves raked.
In a nutshell ,if Samantha weeds flowers they would lose 2 bags of leaves raked while if Adam were to do so same, they would lose 5 bags of leaves raked, conclusively Samantha should weed flower beds since she has lower opportunity, higher comparative advantage
Answer:
e. the expected return on a security is positively and linearly related to the security's beta.
Explanation:
As per CAPM: Expected return (ER) = Rf + \beta (Rm - Rf)
Lets assume risk free return (Rf) as 5%, \beta as 2 and expected market return (Rm) as 10%
then, ER = 5% + 2 (10% - 5%) = 15%
However if lets assume all the other factors remain the same and \beta increases to 3
then, ER = 5% + 3 (10% - 5%) = 20%
Similarly if \beta reduces to 1
then, ER = 5% + 1 (10% - 5%) = 10%
So higher the \beta higher is the risk and hence higher the expected return. Hence expected return on a security is positvely and linearly related to the security's beta
