In November 2017, Treasury 4 1/2s of 2044 offered a semiannually compounded yield to maturity of 2.66%. Recognizing that coupons are paid semiannually, calculate the bond's price. Assume face value is $1,000. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

The price of a bond is $492.24

Explanation:

F= face value of bond = $1000

T=time to maturity of bond = 2044-2017= 27 years

r=yield to maturity=2.66% semi-annulay=0.0266

Formula to calculate price= F/(1+r)∧T

we have = 1000/(1+.0266)∧27 = 1000/2.0315 = $492.24

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
