On January 1, Year 1, Greenfield, Inc. issues $100,000 of 9% bonds maturing in 10 years when the market rate of interest is 8%.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%

Explanation:

Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).

Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1$

So, everything should look like this.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923$

Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%

Best of luck.

Answer:

resources that are valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and non-substitutable

Explanation:

If competitors can copy or match the products and services the firm offers, it will be difficult to develop a sustainable competitive advantage through product excellence. A firm can, however, develop an advantage through product excellence with resources that are valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and non-substitutable

Apart from product excellence, Intangible assets that have no physical presence like Brand reputation, trademarks and intellectual property are all intangible assets unlike physical resources, cannot buy from the market by other competitors. They are developed within a company and constitute the source of sustainable competitive advantage.

In particular, the resources that generate competitive advantage are those that possess the VRIO characteristics,which implies that they are

Valuable, hence there will be no competitive disadvantage

Rare, hence there will be no competitive parity

Imitate, - are costly and difficult to imitate hence they cannot be copied

Organised to Capture Value - which means they are non-substitutable.
