Answer:
The spread between yields on long-term and short-term bonds is positive
Explanation:
When term premiums are positive, the yield curve is considered normal, this means that long-term bonds have a higher yield to maturity than short-term bonds, due to the higher risks associated with long-term bonds.
If long-term bonds have a higher yield to maturity (YTM) than short-term bonds, this means that the spread: the difference between the term premiums of long-term bonds and short-term bonds, will be positive.
For example, if the YTM of a 10 year bond is 8%, and the YTM of a 1 year bond is 4%, the spread of of the term premiums will:
8 - 4 = 4%, a positive spread.
Answer:
7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.
Explanation:
Let x packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.16 each and y packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16-packet mixed pepper assortment for $3.33 per packet,
i.e. x + y = 16 ..........(1)
Also,
The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0
⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0 ........(2)
Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)
0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72
2.08y = 18.72
⇒ y = 9
From equation (1),
x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7
Hence, there are 7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.
Top one is advantage, second down is a drawback, advantage for the third, and the last one on the bottom is a drawback.
Answer:
a. SAR is the Sodium adsorption ratio of the water used for irrigation purpose. SAR is ratio of sodium concentration to that of calcium and magnesium concentration.This value is also useful while managing soils that have high concentration of sodium which can occur naturally in some soils. Although sodium is a macro-nutrient for plants, higher concentration of sodium can cause the displacement of the calcium and magnesium ions in soil which can affect the soil structure by preventing aggregation of clay in the soil resulting in a decrease in the infiltration rates.
b. EC is the electrical conductivity of the soil which depends on the salinity of the soil. High salinity means more solutes in water and this increases the osmotic potential of the soil solution making it difficult for plants to absorb water.
Answer:
Delta is responsible for insuring $200,000 / $1,600,000 = 1/8 of the building
Eversafe is responsible for 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
the loss = $1,600,000 x 40% = $640,000
Delta will pay 1/8 x $640,000 = $80,000
Eversafe will pay $640,000 - $80,000 = $560,000
in order for Eversafe to pay:
- $600,000, the total loss = $685,714, or 42.86% of the building
- $700,000, the total loss = $800,000, or 50% of the building
- $720,000, the total loss = $822,857, or 51.43% of the building
- $800,000, the total loss = $914,286, or 57.14% of the building
