Fudgin [204]

Solution and Explanation:

1. MC = Cost of raw material + Cost of time

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2. TFC = $300

Q = 300 , AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3. His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 , MC = $10

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

4. His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 , MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

AB Builders, Inc., has 22-year bonds outstanding with a par value of $2,000 and a quoted price of 106.657. The bonds pay interes

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

7.32%

Explanation:

The price of a bond is the present of its interest payment and the present value of redemption value (RV

Present value of the Redemption Value (RV) =

FV× (1+r/2)^(-2×n)

FV- 2000, r- yield rate, r/2= 6.74%/2 = 3.37%, n-22

=2000× (1.0337)^(-2×22)

= 465.233

Present Value of the coupon payment =Price of bond - PV of RV

= (106.657% × 2000) - 465.233

= $1667.90

PV of coupon payment= A × (1-(1+r)^(-2×n)

A- semiannual coupon payment, r -yield

1667.90 = A × (1-(1.0337)^(-2*22))/0.0337

1,667.90 = A × 22.7710

A = 1,667.90/22.7710

A= 73.246

Annual coupon payment = 2× 73.246= 146.493

Annual coupon rate = coupon payment/ face value

= (146.493/2,000 )× 100

= 7.32%
