Answer:

present value of bond = $1042.96

Explanation:

given data

spot rates for six​ months = 1%

spot rates for one and = 1.1%​

spot rates for one and half years = 1.3%​

price = $1000

coupon bond = 4.25%

time = 6 month

solution

we get here first price on bond paid that is

coupon paid = $1000 × 4.25 × 0.5   = $21.25

we get here present value of 6 month and 1 year and 1 and half  year

present value  =   \frac{coupon\ payment }{(1+\frac{spot \ rate}{2})^t}     ..............1

present value of 6 month = \frac{21.25}{(1+\frac{0.1}{2})^1}    = 20.23

present value of 1 year = \frac{21.25}{(1+\frac{0.011}{2})^2}   = 21.01  

present value of 1 year and half year = \frac{21.25}{(1+\frac{0.013}{2})^2}   =  20.97

and

now we get present value of par value in 1 and half year

present value of par value in 1 and half year = \frac{par\ value}{(1+\frac{spot rate}{2})^3}  

present value of par value in 1 and half year = \frac{1000}{(1+\frac{0.013}{2})^3}

present value of par value in 1 and half year = 980.75

so

present value of bond will be as

present value of bond = 20.23 + 21.01 + 20.97 + 980.75

present value of bond = $1042.96

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is: the <u>supply of</u> sugar to <u>decrease</u> and its price to <u>increase</u>.

Explanation:

Factories that process sugarcane have to decide what quantities will they produce of sugar and ethanol. If they produce sugar, they can'y produce ethanol, and vice versa.  

So when the price of ethanol increases, sugarcane factories will increase the quantity supplied of ethanol, therefore reducing the quantity supplied of sugar. Since the quantity supplied of sugar decrease by external factors not related to its demand, then the price of sugar will increase since the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied.

There are two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits. Select the TWO statements that c
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.  

Explanation:

Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.  

The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.

When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.

Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.

Mary’s hourly wage is twice that of John’s. John’s and Dennis’ hourly wages together total $60. If Dennis earns 1/3 of John’s ra
kolezko [41]

Answer: $90

Explanation: This problem can be solved by using following equation :-

Let John's hourly wage rate be J, Mary's hourly wage rate be M and Dennis hourly wage rate be D, therefore :-

Mary's rate will be :-

M = 2J............equation 1

AND,

J + D = $60 ..... equation 2

Similarly,

D = 1/3J

Now,putting the value of D in equation 2 we get,

J + 1/3J = $60

J  = $45

Putting the values of J in equation equation 1 we get,

M = 2 * $45

   = $90

So, Mary's hourly wage rate is $90

Two airlines serve the route between Tampa and Houston. What will happen to one airline if the other one raises its​ prices? A.
Alina [70]

Answer:

D. Its demand curve will shift to the right

Explanation:

If two airlines are competing for the same market, and airline A raises its price, the airline B will benefit because now it will be cheaper compared to the other one.

This means that more people will be willing to purchase tickets from airline B at any given price (in this case, the same price as before), shifting the demand curve of airline B to the right.
