miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

19.05%

Explanation:

the approximate yield to maturity (YTM) formula is:

approximate YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} /  [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • C = coupon payment = $130
  • FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000
  • PV = present value or current market value = $690
  • n = 10 years

approximate YTM = {$130 + [($1,000 - $690) / 10]} /  [($1,000 + $690) / 2] = ($130 + $31) / $845 = $161 / $845 = 0.1905 or 19.05%

The competitive equilibrium rent in a standard two bedroom apartment in lawrence (a city) is $600. now suppose the city council
Mekhanik [1.2K]
<span>Setting a rent control price ceiling will cause the same impact as any other price ceiling that is below the market equilibrium price: it will create a shortage in the market. At the price equilibrium of $600, the number of renters would exactly meet the number of available 2 bedroom apartments. However, with this fixed price ceiling, the position along the demand curve will shift to one of higher demand, with no analogous change in the supply curve. Thus there will be more renters than can be supported, and renters will have to look for alternatives and substitutes.</span>

natima [27]

The pdca cycle is a powerful approach for problem solving as it provides the foundation for teams to figure out ways to change and implement new ideas within their group setting and project or business. The PDCA stands for plan-do-check-act. In the planning stage your team will plan by determining what the problem is and what ways to fix it. In the do stage, your team will act on the ways you can solve the problem. In the check stage you are looking to check your work and see what worked and what needs to be changed. The final stage is the act stage which if you find solutions that work, implement them moving forward.

The Buttercrust Pizza Company sells pizzas in two different sizes—medium and large. The number of medium pizzas sold is twice th
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The weighted average contribution margin is calculated by multiplying individual contribution margin with respective size pizzas (i.e number of units sold) then total contribution margin (i.e of both medium and large size) is divided upon total number of units sold, see as follows:

According to Buttercrust Pizza company's sales data medium pizzas sold are twice the number of large pizzas. Now here we have to take an assumption since we aren't given actual sales units. Keeping in mind the sales data we can assume that 100 units of medium pizzas and 50 units of large pizzas are sold during the period.

Contribution margin of medium pizza: (CM× units of medium size pizzas)

Contribution margin of large pizza: (CM× units of large size pizzas)

Contribution margin of medium pizza: $10× 100 = $1000

Contribution margin of large pizza: $22× 50 = $1100

Total contribution (of both pizza sizes) = $2100

Total sales units (of both pizza sizes) = 150

The weighted average contribution margin is calculated as follows:

WACM= $2100÷ 150

WACM= $14

(Disclaimer: the solution of this question has been concluded using self-induced assumptions.)
