Answer:

<em>$111.11 or 111.11% of face value</em>

Explanation:

Assuming the face value of $100 for all bonds (without loss of generality)

If the two year coupon bond is repackaged as a one year zero coupon bond paying $12 after one year and another two year bond paying $112 after 2 years, the price of the two zero coupon bonds are given as

Price of one year Zero coupon bond = 12/1.05 = $11.43 (one year ZCB has YTM of 5%)

Price of two year Zero coupon bond = 112/1.06^2 = $99.68 (two year ZCB has YTM of 6%)

So, one can sell the repackaged bonds at a price = $11.43+ $99.68 = $111.11 or 111.11% of face value

koban [17]

Answer:

$182,083

The computation of the total assets by considering the total assets turnover is shown below:

Total assets turnover = Sales ÷ total assets

2.4 = $415,000  ÷ total assets

So, the total assets equal to

= $415,000 ÷ 2.4

Is an increase in the marginal income tax rate reflected by a shift in the after-tax supply of labor or a movement along the sup
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

A shift in the supply curve of labour.

Explanation:

An increase in marginal income tax rate cause the income tax burden on a consumer to rise as the consumers income goes up.

What this means is that as his income gets to rise, he would have to pay more in taxes.  Due to a rising change in what he pays as tax, what he would receive as income after tax would be lower at the same number of labor hours. On the labor supply curve this would depict a downward shift.

In conclusion, an increase in marginal tax would be shown by a shift in the after tax supply of labor which would fall backwards or downwards
