<u>Solution and explanation:</u>
<u>Given data: </u>
Ask price: 98.4062, bid price: 98.2812, par value of the bond: $10,000
<u>The following formula is used in order to calculate the actual value of the bond </u>
The ask price will be used while calculating the actual value of the bond and the par value of the bond will be used
Ask price will be multiplied with par value of the bond and divided by 100
= $9840.62
Therefore, the par value as per the above calculation is $9840.62
Answer:
$842.74
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Loan amount = $927.86
Interest for the first month = $871.86
Now,
Daily interest rate for 30 days =
or
=
= $29.06
Now,
Doug owns the closing day,
Therefore,
Maria will pre-pay interest for 29 days i.e June 2 - 30,
= Daily interest × Number of days
= $29.06 × 29
= $842.74

d. No change
Explanation:
The market for gourmet chocolate is in the long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has caused the consumer disposable income to fall. Chocolate is a normal good, and the chocolate producers have identical cost structures.
a. This decline in the consumer income will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers. As a result, the demand will decrease. The demand curve will move to the left.
b. This leftward shift in the demand curve will cause the price to decline, As the price falls, the profits earned by the producers will decline as well.
c. In the long run, the firms operate at zero economic profits. So a decline in profits imply that the firms are operating at an economic loss. This will cause the loss incurring firms to exit the market.
d. The long run supply curve will remain the same. It is not affected by change in profits, it changes only with change in the state of technology or availability of resources.
