Answer:

The correct answer is option II.

Explanation:

When a tax is imposed on a commodity, the tax burden is shared between the buyers and the sellers. The share of tax burden depends upon the elasticity of demand and elasticity of supply.  

In the case of cigarettes, most of the tax burden is borne by the buyers. This is because the demand for cigarettes is relatively inelastic. Cigarettes are addictive so even if its price increases due to the imposition of the tax, the buyers will still purchase the same amount as they are addicted to it.

YTM approximated 4.08%

Explanation:

If the price of the bond changes to 1,060

we will need to calcualte the YTM

we could do it with an approxmation method like this:

YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}

Cuopon payment =1,000 x 4.5% = 45

Face value       = 1,000

Purchase value= 1,060

n= 20 years

quotient 4.0776699%

It will yield approximately 4.08%

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

No, he cannot

Explanation:

Under an insurance contract, the insured agrees to pay small amount regularly, known as insurance premium so as to avoid bearing unexpected, unforeseen huge amount of liability which may arise in the future. Such a loss is borne by the insurer i.e the insurance company.

In the given case, Ronald refused to purchase dental insurance initially and preferred repayment of his student loan. Since he did not hold any insurance at the time of accident/injury, he cannot enroll later for an event that has already occurred i.e the injury.

An insurance contract will now safeguard him against expenses on future accidents/ injuries but will not compensate him for the accident that has already occurred when he held no insurance.

Clean price          = $ 951 -A

Accrued Interest =  (5.3% * 1000)/12*4 = $ 17.67 -B

Invoice price = A+B = $ 969 (approx)
