Answer:
a.The bonds will sell at a premium if the market rate is 5.5 percent.
Explanation:
Following information provided in the question
Coupon rate = 6%
Face value = $1,000
Time period = 10 years
And if we consider the interest rate 5.5%
So as we can see than the interest rate or market rate is less than the coupon rate or we can say that the coupon rate is more than the market rate so the bond is sell at a premium

Answer:
The Bullwhip Effect
Explanation:
Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.
A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.
One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.
Answer:
The amount of cash received on January 24 is $3332
Explanation:
The amount of cash received will be for the net amount of receivable after adjusting for sales returns and the sales discount as the payment is received within the discount period of 10 days as stated by the term 2/10 which means a 2% discount if payment is received within 10 days of sale.
The accounts receivable at January 15 after sale were $4500. Out of this amount, $1100 of returns are made. Thus, the remaining balance of accounts receivables after return is $4500 - $1100 = $3400
The discount received will be = 3400 * 2% = $68
Thus, the cash received on January 24 will be 3400 - 68 = $3332
Answer:
No
Explanation:
to determine if another 10% decrease in the price cause another 8% increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded, we have to determine the price elasticity of demand.
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
8% / 10% = 0.8
demand in inelastic so a 10% reduction in price would lead to a less than 8% change in quantity demanded
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
