G Consider monopoly firm that produces diamonds. This firm sells in two distinct markets, one is completely sealed off from the other. The inverse demand curve for the firm's product in the first market (market 1) is p_1 = 16 - 0.5q_1. The inverse demand curve in the second market (market 2) is p_2 = 26-0.5q_2. The firm's cost function is C(q) = 10q, where q is the firm's entire output (destined for either market: q = q_1+q_2). The firm's objective is to maximize profits. The government imposes a unit tax t=1 on quantity sold in each market and the firm can charge different uniform prices in different markets. What price should the firm charge in each market to maximize profit?

Bond x is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 7% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. your required return on bond x is 10%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. you (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 9.5%. how much should you be willing to pay for bond x today? (hint: you will need to know how much the bond will be worth at the end of 5 years.) do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to the nearest cent.

Ummit record company is negotiating with two banks for a $157,000 loan. fidelity bank requires a compensating balance of 24 percent, discounts the loan, and wants to be paid back in four quarterly payments. southwest bank requires a compensating balance of 12 percent, does not discount the loan, but wants to be paid back in 12 monthly installments. the stated rate for both banks is 9 percent. compensating balances will be subtracted from the $157,000 in determining the available funds in part a. a-1. calculate the effective interest rate for fidelity bank and southwest bank. (do not round intermediate calculations. input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) a-2. which loan should summit accept? southwest bank fidelity bank b. recompute the effective cost of interest, assuming that summit ordinarily maintains $37,680 at each bank in deposits that will serve as compensating balances
