Answer:

the least cost rule

Explanation:

Imperfect markets are those where all the conditions for perfect markets don't exist. In perfect markets, the profit maximizing rule for hiring labor is that you will continue to add labor until marginal revenue product = marginal cost of labor. The same applies for capital or land which are the other factors of production.

But on imperfect markets, this is not that clear, the equation in this case would be:

least cost rule ⇒ marginal product of labor / marginal cost of labor = marginal product of capital / marginal cost of capital

Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be

Nataly [62]

Answer:

YTM = 8.93%

YTC = 8.47%

Explanation:

$P = \frac{C}{2} \times\frac{1-(1+YTC/2)^{-2t} }{YTC/2} + \frac{CP}{(1+YTC/2)^{2t}}$

The first part is the present value of the coupon payment until the bond is called.

The second is the present value of the called amount

P = market price value = 1,200

C = annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 12% 120

C/2 = 60

CP = called value = 1,060

t = time = 6 years

$P = 60 \times\frac{1-(1+YTC/2)^{-2\times 6} }{YTC/2} + \frac{1,060}{(1+YTC/2)^{2\times 6}}$

Using Financial calculator we get the YTC

8.467835879%

$P = 60 \times\frac{1-(1+YTM/2)^{-2\times 10} }{YTM/2} + \frac{1,000}{(1+YTM/2)^{2\times 10}}$

The first part is the present value of the coupon payment until manurity

The second is the present value of the redeem value at maturity

P = market price value = 1,200

C = coupon payment = 1,000 x 12%/2 = 60

C/2 = 60

F = face value = 1,060

t = time = 10 years

Using Financial calculator we get the YTM

8.9337714%

bank pays interest quarterly with an EAR of 9%. What is the periodic interest rate applicable per quarter

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

2.18%

Explanation:

Effective interest rate = (1+i/m)^n - 1

i is stated as interest rate

m is the compounding frequency

Here, the compounding is quarterly and the effective interest rate is 8%

Since one year is equal to 4 quarter, the value of m is equals to 4

Effective interest rate = (1 + i/4)^4 - 1

9% = (1 + i/4)^4 - 1

0.09 + 1 = (1 + i/4)^4

(1.09)^1/4 = 1 + i/4

1 + i/4 = 1.02178

i/4 = 1.02178 - 1

i/4 = 0.2178

i/4 = 2.18%
