inessss [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": unfavorably; increases.

Explanation:

As a measure to control inflation in the economy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) tends to increase the interest rate. This to have banks request fewer loans from the central bank which will result in offering fewer credits to individuals. If people have fewer sources of debt, the possibilities that an economic bubble -continuous increase in price due to continuous increase in demand- appear decreases.

However, if people have fewer sources of debt, private investment decreases, causing an unfavorable panorama for financial institutions offering large portfolios of assets.

What return do you expect earn if you buy the 3 years ,10% coupon bond today and sell it in exactly 1 year( if current price is

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

8.02%

Explanation:

Since corporate bonds pay coupons semiannually, it would be important to first all determine the semiannual yield to maturity of this bond using a financial calculator as shown below:

We need to set the calculator to its end mode before making the following inputs:

N=6(number of semiannual coupons in 3 years=3*2=6)

PMT=50(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2=1000*10%/2=50)

PV=-1051.45 (current price)

FV=1000(bond's face value)

CPT

I/Y=4.02%

After one year, there would 4 semiannual coupons left, we can compute the bond price as shown thus:

N=4

PMT=50

I/Y=4.02(without % sign)

FV=1000

CPT

PV=1,035.56

The expected rate of return over one year is computed thus:

N=2(number of semiannual coupons in 1 year holding period)

PMT=50(the amount of each semiannual coupon)

PV= -1051.45

FV=1,035.56(selling price after one year)

CPT=4.01%(on a semiannual basis)

annual rate of return=4.01%*2=8.02%

Replace present refrigerators with similar refrigerators at a cost of $20 x 106. Option 2. Replace present refrigerators with la

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:No, Lake source cooling is not economically advantageous.

Explanation:

The cost of the lake source cooling is S30 greater than the cost of the refrigerator.

Though the lakes source option will bring additional income of S2400 for ten years this will only reduce it's cost to S2900 and this is still higher than the total cost of the refrigerator option of S2,120.

The straight line depreciation option on both options will not change this decision since it will have the same effect on both options.
