You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 7 percent coupons, and currently have 7 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 5 years to maturity and Bond B has 10 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest changes unexpectedly to 6 percent, the price of Bond A will change by _____ percent and the price of Bond B will change by _____ percent.
Answer:
the price of Bond A will change by 4.21% and the price of Bond B will change by 7.36%.
Explanation:
Bonds A and B
current bond price $1,000
interest rate 7%
Bond A matures in 5 years, annual payments
Bond B matures in 10 years, annual payments
if market interest decreases to 6%
Bond A:
$1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $747.26
$70 x 4.2124 (annuity factor, 6%, 5 periods) = $294.87
market price = $1,042.13
% change = 4.21%
Bond B:
$1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ = $558.39
$70 x 7.3601 (annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $515.21
market price = $1,073.60
% change = 7.36%

Question 7 of 10 How much should you save each year for maintenance on your home? $500 Whatever your home inspector recommends 7% of your gross income At least 1% of the purchase price
Answer: At least 1% of the purchase price
Explanation:
The 1% rule is a popular practice that estimates that 1% of a house´s purchase price should be expected to be required for maintenance every year. This is the case for a house that is less than five years old. Houses between 5 and 25 years old could range between a 1 and 4% annual maintenance budget, depending also on its location, the market, its size, and the impact of the weather.

Labor productivity growth can be attributed to: a. improvement in technology. b. a decline in university attendance. c. an increase in population growth. d. a decline in the physical capital per worker.
Answer:
The answer is A. improvement in technology
Explanation:
Labor productivity growth is not relevant to a decline in university attendance.
Applying the Malthusianism theory, an increase in population growth can't lead to labor productivity growth because while that population growth is potentially exponential, the growth of resources is linear.
Finally, the physical capital per worker is the quantity of equipment and input resources that are used to produce output goods and services. It has no direct influence to the labor productivity growth.

Solve the consumer’s problem for John’s optimal demand for Germ-X and Purell. (You should find actual numbers representing the quantity of Germ-X chosen and the quantity of
Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part and the needed diagram
suppose John is shopping and has $20 to spend on hand sanitizer. He can go with Germ-X (G) at $1 per fluid ounce (pG=1), or he can purchase purell (P) at $1.25 per fluid ounce (Pp=1.25). His utility function for the two different hand sanitizers is as follows:
U = G +1.1P
where G and P are measured in fluid ounces.
Solve the consumer’s problem for John’s optimal demand for Germ-X and Purell. (You should find actual numbers representing the quantity of Germ-X chosen and the quantity of purell chosen
ANSWER: The solution = (Germ-x,Purell ) = (20,0).
Explanation:
The consumers problem for John's optimal demand for Germ-x and Purell as seen in the diagram can solved by John going maximizing his utility given the constraint of the budget,
that means that John will purchase/spend the constrained budget of ($20) on Germ-x since the unit price of Germ X is at $1 while Purell's unit price is at $1.25 per fluid ounce
Eakins Inc.'s common stock currently sells for $15.00 per share, the company expects to earn $2.75 per share during the current year, its expected payout ratio is 70%, and its expected constant growth rate is 6.00%. New stock can be sold to the public at the current price, but a flotation cost of 8% would be incurred. By how much would the cost of new stock exceed the cost of retained earnings
Answer:
1.12%
Explanation:
By how much would the cost of new stock exceed the cost of retained earnings = Cost of new equity - Cost of retained earnings
Cost of retained earnings = ((2.75 * 70%) / 15) + 6.00%
Cost of retained earnings = ((2.75 * 0.7) / 15) + 0.06
Cost of retained earnings = 0.1283 + 0.06
Cost of retained earnings =0.1883
Cost of retained earnings = 18.83%
Cost of new equity= ((2.75 * 70%) / (15 * (1 - 8%) ) + 6.00%
Cost of new equity= 19.95%
Hence, Cost of new equity - Cost of retained earnings
= 19.95% - 18.83%
= 1.12%

The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct

TB MC Qu. 9-251 Turrubiates Corporation makes a product that ... Turrubiates Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following standards: Standard quantity 6.7 liters per unit Standard price $ 1.20 per liter Standard cost $ 8.04 per unit The company budgeted for production of 2,500 units in April, but actual production was 2,600 units. The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output. The company purchased 18,800 liters of the direct material at $1.30 per liter. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for April is:
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity 6.7 liters per unit
Standard price $ 1.20 per liter
Actual production was 2,600 units.
The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output.
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 6.7*2,600= 17,420
Direct material quantity variance= (17,420 - 18,000)*1.2
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable
The face value is $81,000, the stated rate is 10%, and the term of the bond is eight years. The bond pays interest semiannually. At the time of issue, the market rate is 8%. What is the present value of the bond at the market rate?
Present value of $1:
4% 5% 6% 7% 8%
15 0.555 0.481 0.417 0.362 0.315
16 0.534 0.458 0.394 0.339 0.292

19 0.475 0.396 0.331 0.277 0.232
a. $91,561
b. $47,773
c. $43,673
d. $84,788
Answer:
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050
Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)
PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =
PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 = 43,246.56
Step 3 :Total Present Value
Total prent value = 43,246.56 + 47,191.79721 = 90,438.36

In the first case the benefits are split 30% to the worker and 70% to the company up to 120% performance. If the worker exceeds 120% performance, all of the earnings go to the worker. In the second case, all earnings beyond standard performance are split 50/50 between the worker and the company.
a. Plot the earnings for each scheme.
b. Derive the equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
c. Find the point at which the two plans break even.
d. Which do you think would the company prefer?
Answer:
B) plan 1 : worker earning y = x - 0.14 , unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 : worker earning y = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C) At 128%
D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE
Explanation:
In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance
In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company
B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
Plan 1 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1
unit labor cost = Y / 1
y = 0 - 30
unit labor = 0.3 / x
y = x - 0.14 therefore unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1, y = 0.5x + 0.5
unit labor cost : Y / 1 = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C ) The point at which the two plans break even
0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14
0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x
0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )
x = 0.64 / 0.5 = 1.28 = 128%
D) The company would prefer plan 1

Ball's marginal cost is the additional cost that the corporation incurs for producing one additional unit of ball bearings. Its average fixed, variable, and total costs are computed by dividing the total fixed, variable, and total costs by the number of ball bearings produced.
Steel Tariffs Appear to Have Backfired on Bush
President Bush set aside his free-trade principles last year and imposed heavy tariffs on imported steel to help out struggling mills in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Some economists say the tariffs may have cost more jobs than they saved, by driving up costs for automakers and other steel users.
Source: The Washington Post, September 19, 2003
Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can help domestic steel producers.
Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can harm steel users.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce______steel and they pay a ________price.
A. less; higher
B. more; lower
C. less; lower
D. more; higher
Answer:
Steel industry in the United States of America has had its up and down over the years. this is especially going by the fact that it is cheaper to import steel from outside America than to buy those produced in U.S. However, high tariff on steel import would enable the domestic steel producers to meet their obligation as well as recoup their investments in the steel industry in U.S.
For example, most construction based organisation would prefer to buy from domestic steel producer if the price and tariff of imported ones makes it extremely difficult to purchase.
On the other-hand, the high tariff placed on steel import could also harm steel users due to the fact that, the quality of steel which they buy from outside U.S would no longer be available to them.
Also, they would be forced to buy at whatever price from domestic producers whether they had need for the steel or not due to high tariff on imported ones.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce more steel and they pay a higher price.
Answer: D. more; higher

A divisional manager receives a bonus based on 10% of the residual income from the division. During the current year, the division reported revenues of $1,000,000 and expenses of $500,000. The division had $2,000,000 in average operating assets. The minimum required rate of return for the division was 15%. What was the amount of the manager's bonus
Answer:
The amount of the manager's bonus is $20,000
Explanation:
Residual income = Net income - ( average operating assets * minimum rate of return)
Net income= Revenues - Expenses = $1,000,000 - $500,000
Net income = $500,000
Residual income = 500,000 - (2,000,000 * 15%)
= 500,000 - $300,000
= $200,000
Managers bonus = $200,000 * 10%
Managers bonus = $20,000

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.9 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $10.7 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.9 million to build, and the site requires $940,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.
Required:
What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Answer:
$33,540,000
Explanation:
initial investment:
opportunity cost of land (resale price of land) = $10,700,000building cost of the facilities = $21,900,000other expenses related to the site (grading) = $940,000total $33,540,000The purchase cost of the land is considered a sunk costs, since it is not relevant now. What is relevant is the price at which the land could be sold at the moment of starting the project.
Kate is in the 15% tax bracket and has $29,000 available for investment during her current tax year. Assume that she remains in the same tax bracket over the next 11 years, and determine the accumulated amount of her investment after taxes if she puts the$29,000 into the following. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)(a) a tax-deferred annuity that pays 4%/year, tax deferred for 11 years$ (b) a taxable instrument that pays 4%/year for 11 years
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The Accumulated amount of her investment atter taxes is
Before that first we have to determine the future value which is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
= $29,000 × (1 + 0.04)^11
= $44,644.17
And, the tax rate is 15%
So, the after tax value is
= $44,644.17 × (1 - 0.15)
= $37,947.54
b. Now for the second part it is
= Annual cash flows × Annuity factor at 3.4% for 11 years
= $29,000 × 10.638
= $308,502
