Which of the following statements regarding bond prices and market interest rates are most likely to be true?

1. Interest rate risk can be described as the changes in market interest rates that will cause fluctuations in a bond’s price.

2. Bond prices and market interest rates are negatively related to each other.

3. Coupon paying bonds will trade at a premium to their face value because of the future cash flows expected by bond investors.

We are discussing the minimum wage.

The Fair Labor Standards Act establishing a national minimum wage was enacted in 1938. The minimum wage was set at 25¢ an hour. Here is a history of changes in federal minimum wage (source: https://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-minimum-wage/)

On this discussion board, discuss if the minimum wage should be eliminated, remain as is or be increased. Be specific with your position and support your position with facts, logic and specific examples.

Which of the following is true?

The higher the cost associated with deposit outflows, the fewer excess reserves banks will want to hold.

One of the least costly ways for a bank to meet withdrawals if it runs short of funds, is to sell loans.

If a bank has sufficient excess reserves, deposit withdrawals will require no other changes in its balance sheet.

An increase in excess reserves reduces liquidity risk and raises a bank's return on its assets.

1.) The statement of stockholders' equity includes which of the following for the period?

A. Inflows and outflows of cash that benefit stockholders.

B. Changes in stockholders' equity accounts.

C. Current assets available to pay current liabilities to reduce risk to stockholders.

D. Details of a company's profitability that represents stockholders' claims.

2.) A debit in a journal entry is always posted to the general ledger as a(n):

A. Decrease.

B, Debit.

C. Increase.

D. Credit.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, indicate how to correct the statement.

a. The amount reported for accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the balance sheet must be a positive amount consistent with all other stockholders’ equity accounts.

b. Changes in AOCI are reflected in other comprehensive income, which is different from net income.

c. Other comprehensive income does not imply a change in cash.

On January 1 of the current year, Jimmy's Sandwich Company reported stockholders’ equity totaling $125,000. During the current year, total revenues were $100,000 while total expenses were $89,500. Also, during the current year paid $24,000 in cash dividends. No other changes in equity occurred during the year. If, on December 31 of the current year, total assets are $200,000, the change in total stockholders’ equity during the year was:

if you transfer heat energy to a perfectly insulated cup of some liquid (no heat energy can be transferred in or out through the walls) what determines how much the temperature changes? Does it depend on how much heat energy you transfer, how much liquid there is in the cup, what the liquid is, or what the initial temerpature of the liquid is? Which of these factors do you think make a differnce in how much the temperture rises?

You have a spring hanging vertically. You add a mass to the end and let it stretch to find its new equilibrium position which is 3.17 cm below the unstretched position. You now raise the mass (compress the mass-spring system) to its original unstretched position. Now you release the mass. How far from this starting position does it travel downward until it stops and changes direction?

Instead of assuming that the volume of a condensed phase is constant when pressure is applied, assume only that the compressibility is constant.

1. Show that when the pressure is changed isothermally by ΔP, G changes to

G'=G+VmΔP(1-12κTΔP)

2. Assess the error in assuming that a solid is incompressible by applying this expression to the compression of copper when ΔP = 500 atm. (For copper at 25℃, κT = 0.8*10^-6 atm^-1 and ρ = 8.93 g/cm³.)

A company must make payments of $10 annually in the form of a 10- year annuity- immediate. It plans to buy two zero coupon bonds to fund these payments. The first bond matures in 2 years and the second bond matures in 9 years, and both are purchased to yield 10% effective. What face amount of each bond should the company buy in order to be immunized from small changes in the interest rate (redington immunization)?
