A US Treasury is quoted at $137.111 based on $100 par. Today is 12/31/2020. Assume that transaction date and settlement date is the same. The coupon rate is 8%. The bond has 30-year maturity. What is the yield-to-maturity
Answer: 5.46%
Explanation:
You can use excel to solve for this.
Number of periods = 30
Coupon = Payment = 8% * 100 = $8
PV = $137.11
FV = $100 par value
Do this and the YTM would be: 5.46%
This makes sense because the bond is trading at a premium which means that the YTM is less than the coupon rate.

Suppose velocity is constant, but real GDP is not independent of the money supply. If this is the case, a 10 percent increase in the money supply will:
Answer: d. have an unpredictable effect on inflation.
Explanation:
Changes in money supply affect inflation with an increase in money supply causing inflation to rise and a decrease calling inflation to fall. Real GDP is supposed to be independent of the money supply as it is not meant to be affected by inflation.
If a situation arises where real GDP is not actually independent of the money supply then that means that it is not independent of inflation either. Should the money supply therefore rise, the effect on the prices of goods and services (real GDP) in the economy will be unpredictable as it might go either way.

If there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too _______________. The quantity demanded will be ________________ the quantity supplied. Thus, the market price must ____________ , which will _____________ the quantity supplied and ____________ the quantity demanded.
Answer:
low
greater
increase
increase
decrease
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
When there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too low. As a result, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Shortage would lead to an increase in price towards equilibrium. This would lead to an increase in the quantity supplied and a decrease in quantity demanded
The Down and Out Co. just issued a dividend of $2.91 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $35 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
14.81%
Explanation:
Cost of equity = (Dividend for next period / Current price) + Growth rate
Cost of equity = (($2.91*1.06) / $35) + 0.06
Cost of equity = $3.0846/$35 + 0.06
Cost of equity = 0.08813143 + 0.06
Cost of equity = 0.14813143
Cost of equity = 14.81%

Question 3 4 Marks Mi Tierra Driving School charges $680 per student to prepare and administer written and driving tests. Variable costs of $408 per student include trainers’ wages, study materials, and gasoline. Annual fixed costs of $63,920 include the training facility and fleet of cars. Requirements 1. For each of the following independent situations, calculate the contribution margin per unit and the breakeven point in units by first referring to the original data provided: a. Breakeven point with no change in information. b. Decrease sales price to $544 per student. c. Decrease variable costs to $340 per student. d. Decrease fixed costs to $53,040.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $680
Unitary variable cost= $408
Fixed cost= $63,920
To calculate the contribution margin and break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
a:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 272
Break-even point in units= 235
b:
Unitary contribution margin= 544 - 408= $136
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 136
Break-even point in units= 470
c:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 340= $340
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 340
Break-even point in units= 188
d:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 53,040 / 272
Break-even point in units= 195
Suppose that a Country Club is considering what price to charge for adults. They know that if they charge a price of $100 then 70 adults will join and if they charge a price of $120 then 50 adults will join. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for adults at this Country Club
Answer:
1.43
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price =120 /100 - 1 = 0.2
Quantity = 50/ 70 - 1 = 0.2857
0.2857 / 0.2 = 1.43
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price
p = 0,2
=0.2857

Why the mode of pollination in maize is cross-pollination? Why it is important to cover the ear shoot with a butter paper bag before the emergence of silks? What could be the consequences if a few silks emerge before bagging? (Marks4)
Answer:
Its advisable to cover the ears as shot may enters or fly in air.
Explanation:
The cross-pollination is a type of pollination n which the sperm-laden pollen is a transfer from one cone of flower of one plant. This created flowering in plants. Wheat is a self-pollinated crop and for cross foliation to take place what florets must be opened. This is done to allow for genetic diversity and is only available for short peroid of time. Once the skills are viable they make already to be contaminated with foreign pollen and its vital that ears are bagged before the process. As the consequences could be that pollen might fly away.Wagner Assets Management Group holds 3 stocks in their investment portfolio. The amount of the investment and beta of each stock is listed below.
Stock Investment Beta
A $ 200,000 1.50
B 300,000 ??
C 500,000 1.20
If the beta of the portfolio is 0.75, what is the beta of stock B?
Answer:
-0.5
Explanation:
Stock Investment (W) Beta (B) W*B
A 200,000 1.50 300,000
B 300,000 X 300,000X
C 500,000 1.20 600,00
1,000,000 900,000+300,000X
Using the formula of Beta of Portfolio to find out X
0.75 = 900,000 + 300,000X / 1,000,000
0.75 * 1,000,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X
750,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X
750,000 - 900,000 = 300,000X
-150,000 = 300,000X
X = -150,000 / 300,000
X = -0.5
So, the beta of stock B is -0.5.
Find the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc. The DPS at the end of year 1 is $2.00; at the end of year 2 is $2.40; at the end of year 3 is $2.70. After the third year, the DPS grows at a constant rate of 5%. The required rate of return is 12%.
Answer: 34.33
Explanation:
Firstly, we'll calculate the terminal value
which willl be:
= 2.70 × (1+5%)/(12% - 5%)
= 2.70 x 1.05/(0.12 - 0.05)
= 40.5
Then, the intrinsic value will be:
= 2/1.12 + 2.4/1.12² + (2.7 + 40.5)/1.12³
= 34.33
Therefore, the the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc is 34.33

Thirsty Cactus Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent for the next 9 years and then level off to a 5 percent growth rate indefinitely. If the required return is 13 percent, what is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
$143.40
Explanation:
The dividend for the next year = [tex]\text{ current year dividend} \times (1 + \text{growth})[/tex]
= $ 1.50 x (1 + 0.13)
= 1.50 x 1.30
= $ 1.95
The dividend in the second year = 1.95 x 1.30
= $ 2.54
Similarly, the dividend for the year 9 is = [tex]$1.50 \times (1.30)^9$[/tex]
= $ 15.91
The value of the stock at the end of year 9,
[tex]$=\frac{\text{Dividend of year 10}}{\text{(Required rate of return - Growth rate)}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{15.91\times1.05}{0.13-0.05}$[/tex]
= $ 208.81
The present value factor [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}$[/tex]
where, r = rate of interest = 13% = 0.13
n = years (1 to 9)
So, the present value factor for the 2nd year is [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{(1.13)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{1.2769}$[/tex]
= 0.783147
Therefore, the price of the stock today is calculated as to be $ 143.40
