Answer:
-3.91%.
Explanation:
The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:
= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)
= -(7.81) x (0.5%)
= -3.91%
The Convexity Adjustment is given by:
= 0.5 * Convexity * (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2
= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2
= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025
= 0.001248375
= 0.0012%
Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%
Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.
<h3>
Answer: D) increase in prices</h3>
An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.
Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.
Answer:
a. 9%
b. Yes, the firm earning an economic profit of 2%
c. Yes, Industry will see entry or exits
d. Rate of return of economy = 7%
Explanation:
a. Percentage rate of return = Earning ÷ Investment by founders × 100
= $18 ÷ $200 × 100
= 9%
b. Company rate of profit - Rate of profit of economy
= 9% - 7%
= 2% > 0
Yes, the firm earning an economic profit of 2%
c. Yes, Industry will see entry or exits because industry is competitive in nature and would to like to compete to others by satisfying the consumers . In perfect competitive markets there will be no entry or exits and critical characteristics reason companies are free for entry and exit for marginal profits.
d. Industry is competitive , there will be supplier to serve the market and its hard to decide the price of the product.
Hence, the rate of return long run equilibrium earned by firm = Rate of return of economy = 7%
