Answer:the precognitive fallacy

Explanation:Precognition is also referred to as future vision in which an individual may claim to have seen the event of the future , mostly these are people who say they have psychic ability.

This kind of prediction isn't based on any scientific evidence.

Historically , people have always believed in precognition but scientists believe it actual goes against the principle of causality which state that for an effect to happen there must be a cause first.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

the maximum that paid to acquire bakery is $336,672.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

= (Value of local bakery + Present value of cost savings) × (1 - discount) × ( 1 + premium) × willing stake of bakery

= ($750,000 + $50,000) × (1 - 0.20) ×  (1 + 0.05) × 0.501

= $336,672

Therefore, the maximum that paid to acquire bakery is $336,672.

We simply applied the above formula

The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.

Hence,

Par Value = $800

Face Value = $1,000

N = 5 x 2 = 10

Since the interest is semi annual

i = 8% / 2 = 4%

CF = $15.34

Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%

The 5.3 percent bond of Dominic Cyle Parts has a face value of $1,000, a maturity of 12 years, semiannual interest payments, and
givi [52]

Answer:

$936.17

Explanation:

The current market price of the bond = present value of all coupon received + present value of face value on maturity date

The discount rate in all calculation is YTM (6.12%), and its semiannual rate is 3.06%

Coupon to received semiannual = 5.3%/2*$1000= $26.5

We can either calculate PV manually or use formula PV in excel to calculate present value:

<u>Manually:</u>

PV of  all coupon received semiannual = 26.5/(1+3.06)^1 + 26.5/(1+3.06)^2....+ 26.5/(1+3.06)^24 = $445.9

PV of of face value on maturity date = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27

<u>In excel:</u>

PV of  all coupon received semiannual =  PV(3.06%,24,-$26.5) = $445.9

PV of of face value on maturity date = PV(6.12%,12,-$1000) = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27

The current market price of the bond  = $445.9 + $490.27 = $936.17

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

I took some work home because I had to meet an important deadline the next morning. If I am able to finish the work on time and do it correctly, then there is a chance of getting either a promotion or a pay raise. If I cannot complete it on time, I will not get fired, but any chances of a promotion or pay raise in the near will vanish.

Since I was working at home, I couldn't prepare anything for dinner, so I decided to buy food on a website and get it delivered home. I spent $20 on my dinner, even though I could have prepared a similar dinner for $5.

I was willing to pay for the expensive meal because the opportunity cost of preparing dinner instead was too high. I can afford to pay $15 more for eating, but I cannot afford to lose the opportunity of a promotion or a pay raise. Even if I do not get them immediately, not completing my job would have made it much harder to get it in the future.

My decision is rational because I was sacrificing a small amount of money in order to preserve something that is really valuable for me (promotion or pay raise).

All resources are scarce, and in this case, time was scarce. So I had to decide which action was more valuable and which action could yield a higher benefit.
