Now, consider the situation in which Noah wants to earn a return of 7%, but the bond being considered for purchase offers a coupon rate of 9%. Again, assume that the bond pays semiannual interest payments and has three years to maturity. If you round the bond's intrinsic value to the nearest whole dollar, then its intrinsic value of
Answer:
$1,053.29
Explanation:
The intrinsic value of the bond is the present value of the bond's future cash flows, semiannual coupons for 3 years as well as the face value at the bond's maturity payable to bondholders.
The bond price can be determined using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=6(there are 6 semiannual coupons in 3 years)
PMT=45(semiannual coupon=1000*9%*6/12=45)
I/Y=3.5(semiannual yield=7%*6/12=3.5%
FV=1000*(the face value of the bond is $1000)

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $422,400. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of four years, or 7,600 operating hours, and a residual value of $34,800. The equipment was used for 2,660 hours during Year 1, 1,596 hours in Year 2, 2,128 hours in Year 3, and 1,216 hours in Year 4.
Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ending December 31, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
Dexter Industries
Depreciation Expenses for the three years ending December 31:
a) Straight line method b) Units-of-activity method c) Double-Declining
Year 1 $96,900 $135,600 $211,200
Year 2 $96,900 $81,396 $105,600
Year 3 $96,900 $108,528 $52,800
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of equipment purchased on January 8 = $422,400
Expected useful life = 4 years or 7,600 operating hours
Residual value = $34,800
Depreciable amount = $387,600 ($422,400 - $34,800)
Straight-line Depreciation Expense per year = $96,900 ($387,600/4)
Units-of-activity method Depreciation Expenses:
Depreciation rate per hour = $51 ($387,600/7,600)
Period Hours Depreciation Expense
Year 1 2,660 $135,600 (2,660 * $51)
Year 2 1,596 $81,396 (1,596 * $51)
Year 3 2,128 $108,528 (2,128 * $51)
Year 4 1,216 $62,016 (1,216 * $51)
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation rate per year = 50% (100%/4 * 2)
Year 1 = $211,200 ($422,400 * 50%)
Year 2 = $105,600 ($211,200 * 50%)
Year 3 = $52,800 ($105,600 * 50%)
Year 4 = $18,000 ($52,800 - $34,800)
A flexible expense and a periodic expense are basically the same thing. True or false
the answer of the question is true
The fact that we can derive the British pound/Israeli shekel exchange rate, say, from the dollar/pound rate and the dollar/shekel rate follows from ruling out a potentially profitable arbitrage strategy known as triangular arbitrage. As an example, suppose that the British pound price of a zloty was below the British pound price of a dollar times the dollar price of a zloty, as depicted by the hypothetical data in the following table.
Exchange rate Value
British pound price of a zloty 4.0
British pound Vice of a dollar 1.60
U.S. dollar price of a zloty 5.00
Using $100 to purchase the Polish currency directly would obtain ___________ zlotys.
Answer:
The answer is "20".
Explanation:
In this question the given exchange rate for US dollar to a Zloty=5
for [tex]\$100[/tex] we get [tex]\frac{ 100}{5}=20 \ \ Zloty[/tex]

The inflation rate in Brazil in 2017 was 3.4 percent, and in 2018, the inflation rate was 3.7 percent.Calculate the CPI in Brazil in 2017 and 2018. Brazil's CPI in 2019 was 318. Did Brazil's cost of living increase or decrease in 2019?The CPI in Brazil for 2017 is __.The CPI in Brazil for 2018 is __.Did Brazil's cost of living increase or decrease.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Reference base year is 2000 and as it's the base year, So the CPI is 100.
Now
The prices have risen by 187% by 2016 means the CPI is
= 100 + 187% of 100
= 287.
And,
There is 3.4% inflation in 2017 that means prices have increased by 3.7% in 2017 compared to 2016.
Now
CPI is 287 + 3.4% of 287
= 296.758
CPI in 2017 = 296.758
In 2018, inflation is 3.7%,
CPI = 296.758 + 3.7%
= 307.74
CPI in 2018 = 307.74
In 2019, CPI is 318, which is approx 3.3% higher than as compared to the year 2018 so
Brazil's cost of living rised in 2019.
CPI of Brazil in 2017 is 296.76
CPI of Brazil in 2018 is 307.74
So,
Brazil's cost of living increases every year
For a model economy, the mpc (marginal propensity to consume) is 0.8. Current GDP is $100 million. Potential GDP is $60 million. To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must g
Answer:
To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.
Explanation:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 5
Output gap = Current GDP - Potential GDP = $100 - $60 = $40 million
Amount of change in government expenditure needed = Output gap / mpc = $40 / 5 = $8 million
Since the Potential GDP is less than the Current GDP, this implies that the government spending must fall by $8 million to reach full employment.
Therefore, to reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.

Cho e hỏi các vấn đề của chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm trong kinh doanh ẩm thực và cách khắc phục ạ
Mong mọi người giúp đỡ e ạ
Answer: Dưới nhu cầu thưởng thức các loại thực phẩm đa dạng, tươi ngon vào bất kỳ thời điểm nào trong năm, chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm đã phải mở rộng hơn nhiều về mặt địa lý và buộc phải thông qua nhiều nhà cung cấp hơn. Điều này đã làm cho nghiệp vụ quản lý chuỗi cung ứng ngành thực phẩm trở nên cồng kềnh và phức tạp hơn bao giờ hết. Các nhà sản xuất, nhà phân phối hay các nhà cung cấp dịch vụ logistics theo đó cũng phải chịu những áp lực không nhỏ để đưa các sản phẩm thực phẩm ra thị trường một cách nhanh chóng, an toàn và trong điều kiện tốt nhất có thể. Một chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm điển hình bao gồm sáu giai đoạn:
1. Tìm nguồn cung cấp nguyên liệu thô
2. Sản xuất
3. Chế biến và đóng gói
4. Lưu trữ
5. Phân phối bán buôn
6.Phân phối bán lẻ
Explanation:
1. Bên cạnh đó mọi vấn đề liên quan đến giá trị sản xuất đều gặp những khó khăn nhất định, một trong những vấn đề mà mọi doanh nghiệp hay cá nhân tham gia vào chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm đều phải lo ngại về vấn đề ( Tìm nguồn cung cấp nguyên liệu thô). Vấn đề truy xuất và đảm bảo nguồn thực phẩm sạch là vấn đề cần cân nhắc đầu tiên, đi đôi đó là phải đảm bảo phù hợp với mô hình kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp, phù hợp với điều kiện kinh tế.
May mắn thay chúng ta đang sống ở thời đại 4.0 việc truy xuất nguồn gốc nguyên liệu đã không còn nhiều thách thách bởi việc áp dụng công nghệ vào việc truy xuất nguyên liệu rất dễ dàng ví dụ thông qua mã code, mã QR... bằng vài một thao tác đơn giản cũng có thể truy xuất nguồn gốc nguyên liệu nhanh, hiệu quả, tiết kiết chi phí đi lại xác minh. Vấn đề thứ hai là đảm bảo nguồn nguyên liệu thô được xử lý an toàn đã và đang ngày càng không còn là thách thức. Bởi việc ứng dụng công nghệ vào xử lý nguyên liệu thô vừa nhanh chóng, chính xác hiệu quả, ví dụ ngay từ khâu thu hoạch nguyên liệu thô các may móc đã hỗ trợ giúp đảm bảo nguồn nguyên liệu đầu vào đều và chính xác. Các khâu gieo trồng hay xử lý cũng được giúp ngắn và khoa học nhờ có ứng dụng công nghệ, khoa học. Nhưng đi bên cạnh là chi phí cao để đảm bảo chất lượng.
Bên cạnh đó việc xây dựng một mạng lưới về chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm trong kinh doanh là một việc vô cùng quan trọng, quyết định sự phát triển của cả doanh nghiệp. Mặc dù là một loại công nghệ vẫn chưa được sử dụng rộng rãi trong ngành công nghiệp thực phẩm, nhưng blockchain được nhiều lãnh đạo coi là một công nghệ đầy hứa hẹn cho phép truy xuất nguồn gốc trong chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm.
Công nghệ blockchain là một nền tảng số chung, nơi người dùng có thể lưu trữ và chia sẻ thông tin qua một mạng lưới tổng. Hệ thống này cho phép người dùng xem tất cả các giao dịch cùng một thời điểm trong thời gian thực. Một trong những lợi thế chính của blockchain là một khi thông tin được thêm vào hệ thống, thông tin đó sẽ được phân phối nội bộ trong mạng lưới và được lưu trữ cố định trong đó vĩnh viễn. Thông tin do vậy sẽ không thể bị tấn công, thao túng hoặc bị hư hại bởi bất kỳ cách nào.
2. Tiếp đó là thách thức chi phí vận hành chuỗi cung ứng tăng cao
Điều hành một chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm sẽ tiêu tốn nhiều loại chi phí, một số chi phí quan trọng bao gồm: Chi phí điện và nhiên liệu, Chi phí logistics, vận chuyển hàng hóa , Chi phí nhân công , Chi phí đầu tư vào công nghệ mới
Những chi phí này rất đáng kể, do vậy, việc theo dõi chi phí hoạt động thường xuyên là một thách thức cho các doanh nghiệp ngành thực phẩm.
Cho nên giải pháp hữu hiệu nhất đó là Bước đầu tiên để kiểm soát chi phí là phải hiểu rõ các loại chi phí hiện có trong hoạt động doanh nghiệp. Trong các chuỗi cung ứng đơn giản, điều này có thể được thực hiện bằng các công cụ bảng tính. Nhưng ở nếu chuỗi cung ứng ngày càng trở nên phức tạp, doanh nghiệp sẽ cần một giải pháp công nghệ. Doanh nghiệp nên nâng cấp công nghệ của mình, những công việc như gửi tệp bảng tính qua email hay gọi điện báo tin cần được loại bỏ.
Một lưu ý khác là nếu các lãnh đạo quá quan tâm đến việc tiết kiệm chi phí thì tính hiệu quả và sự phát triển lâu dài của doanh nghiệp có thể bị kìm hãm. Một giải pháp công nghệ “đắt tiền”, ví dụ đó là đẩy mạnh mảng truyền trông marketing sản phảm, xâm nhập thị trường khôn ngoan bằng công nghệ mới, mặt hàng mới tác dụng mới, có thể mang lại lợi tức đầu tư đáng kể và tiết kiệm rất nhiều loại chi phí về lâu dài. Từ đó, doanh nghiệp vận hành hiệu quả và trở nên hấp dẫn hơn trong mắt các khách hàng.
Trên đây là những vấn đề cơ bản mà mình nghĩ sẽ giúp ích cho bạn từ kinh nghiệp của bản thân cũng như những kinh nghiệm mà mình học hỏi được. Mong rằng sẽ giúp ích cho bạn. Mình chỉ muốn khuyên là hãy trở thành nhà đầu tư, kinh doanh khôn ngoan, sáng tạo.

You bought Sumsung stock for $50 on April 1. The stock paid a dividend of $5 on July 1, and had a price of $53. It is now Oct. 1, and the stock price is $52. Treasury bills yield 1%.
Required:
a. What was the arithmetic average quarterly return?
b. What was the standard deviation of quarterly returns?
Answer:
a. 7.05%
b. 12.7%
Explanation:
a. The returns are:
First return July 1 = (Current price - Previous price + Dividend) / Cost price
= (53 - 50 + 5) / 50
= 16%
Second return Oct 1 = (52 - 53) / 53
= -1.9%
Arithmetic mean = (16 + (-1.9%)) / 2
= 7.05%
b. Variance = ((16% - 7.05%)² + (-1.9% - 7.05%)²)
= 160.205%
Standard deviation = √160.205
= 12.7%

The Metropolitan Bus Company (MBC) purchases diesel fuel from American Petroleum Supply. In addition to the fuel cost, American Petroleum Supply charges MBC $225 per order to cover the expenses of delivering and transferring the fuel to MBC's storage tanks. The lead time for a new shipment from American Petroleum is 10 days; the cost of holding a gallon of fuel in the storage tanks is $0.03 per month, or $0.36 per year; and annual fuel usage is 180,000 gallons. MBC buses operate 288 days a year.
Required:
a. What is the optimal quantity for MBC?
b. How frequently should MBC order to replenish the gasoline supply?
c. The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons. Should MBC consider expanding the capacity of its storage tanks?
d. What is the recorder point?
Answer:
A. 15,000
B. 12 times
C. No Need Of Expanding the storage tanks
D. 6,250 gallons
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine the optimal quantity for MBC
Using this formula
Optimal quantity=√2×Demand quantity×Ordering cost÷Holding cost
Let plug in the formula
Optimal quantity=√2×180,000×$225÷$0.36
Optimal quantity=√225,000,000
Optimal quantity=15,000
Therefore the optimal quantity for MBC is 15,000
b. Calculation to determine How frequently should MBC order to replenish the gasoline supply
Using this formula
MBC order=Demand quantity÷ Economic Ordering quantity
Let plug in the formula
MBC order=180,000÷15,000
MBC order=12 times
Therefore How frequently should MBC order to replenish the gasoline supply will be 12 times
c.) If The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons there is NO NEED OF EXPANDING the storage tanks reason been that the OPTIMAL ORDER QUANTITY is 15,000 which is the same with MBC's tank storage capacity.
d. Calculation to determine the reorder point
Using this formula
Reorder point = Lead time× Average demand quantity
Where,
Lead time=10 days
Average Demand Quantity=180,000/$288
Average Demand Quantity=625
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point =10 days*625
Reorder point=6,250 gallons
Therefore Reorder point is 6,250 gallons
