Topic: Yield (economics)


  
 Yield (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The yield of a debt instrument is generally linked to default probability of the issuer.
In bond markets, US Treasury bond yields are the benchmark debt instruments because they are backed by the US Government and the risk of default is almost nil.
The relationship between yields and the maturity of instruments of similar credit worthiness, is described by the yield curve.

 Business Economics: Corporate bond yield spreads in recent decades: an examination of trends, changes, and stock market ...
In this article the yield spreads between corporate bonds and government bonds and the spreads between differing quality corporate bonds are examined during recent decades.
In particular, changes in yield spreads between high and medium quality corporate bonds and Treasury bonds are examined, as are changes in the spread between the differing quality corporate bonds.
Yield spreads on different risk-classes of bonds will reflect the perceived relative risk of these assets, other things (primarily maturity) being equal.

 Brambles - Production Management and Marketing, Bulletin 782-99, Chapter
Economically, raspberries or blackberries are considered to be a medium- to high-risk investment because of a high initial investment, a delay for two or more years in returns, the biological factors including the climate (weather extremes), and the high volume of fixed costs.
The purchase of land, equipment, irrigation, and labor requirements are economic decisions.
Low yields and few hours of machine usage per year increase the cost of machine-harvested berries.

 The Dark Wraith Forums
The underlying economic reason is that, when people lose their jobs, the opportunity cost of their time goes down, so the economic cost of education (the direct cost plus foregone wages) drops precipitously.
Notice that the yield on a debt instrument is inversely related to its price: the less that is paid for a security, the higher the yield (or the higher the expected return when it's some kind of security that isn't such a sure thing like bonds).
The causal link between an inverted yield curve and a subsequent recession is the steepening cost of shorter-term capital to businesses and households, which face higher rates of borrowing on everything from inventory to durable goods as interest rates rise.

 ECONOMICS OF LEVERAGED LEASING
Because some of the economic benefit of leveraged leasing comes from tax benefits, it is to be expected that changes in the tax law or rates can have a substantial economic impact on a transaction.
The yield rate is the rate at which both the investment balance and sinking fund balance are zero at the end of the lease.
The effect is to allocate the cash flow to the debt balance and the equity balance in proportion to the leverage, while calculating the debt expense after tax according to the interest rate and tax rate in effect at that time.

 The Economics of Yield-Driven Processes
Therefore yields, in addition to or instead of labor costs, should be a focus of attention when making decisions such as new factory siting and type of automation.
A one percentage point increase in yields can be worth about 6 percent of gross revenue and 17 percent of contribution.
We show that yields are especially important in periods of constrained capacity, such as new product ramp-up.

Selection of a realistic yield goal is not an easy management decision.
Therefore, yield goals have a direct impact on projected cost of production.

Economics is easy to explain in a business setting because we can use dollar measures.
A common economic decision that farmers make is whether doing something will return more than it costs.

 Economics: Economic terms
The projected yield amount is the key factor in the decision whether or not to purchase a particular bond.
Bonds are, of course, funds a government or a company loans to the public at a fixed yield value.
When the bond matures, say in five years, it will, in very simple terms, yield 13.9 percent to the purchaser.

 Sustained Yield - Economics
Unfortunately, instead of insisting on a forestry that left intact forests for all values for all future generations, both multiple use and IRM were marginalized into net down constraints of the dominant economic interest, timber, and then only where the other economic stakeholder had clout enough to enforce this constraint.
A more comprehensive bibliography would include ecological economics, imperialism and global economics influence in resource depletion, bioregionalism, and the relationship between cities and resource supplying hinterlands.
This section will look at just the conventional economic benefits and debits associated with sustained yield management.

The pigeonpea equivalent yield, gross returns as well as net returns observed with all the intercropping systems were higher than their respective sole crops.
However, the higher net returns, benefit : cost ratio, value : cost ratio and monetary advantage index values were observed with pigeonpea+sesame intercropping systems, irrespective of the planting pattern of the pigeonpea.
The highest gross returns were obtained when pigeonpea (60 cm) was grown with okra as intercrop.

 CAREER ECONOMICS
Computing the earning yield takes into consideration periods of unemployment, lost time due to illness or problems within the family structure, cost of securing employment due to a job change, cost of in-service training, and the cost of funding (depletion of savings) the period of unemployment- very similar to downtime of a machine.
The ideas about maximizing the earning yield and leveraging time in relationship to the governing values of the QOL are to assist individuals to develop a new and more useful perspective toward helping others with their career planning issues are my ideas.
Just as the employer must maximize the investment yield on the equity investment in the business, you must maximize your earning yield on the investment of your time in the job.

 SSRN-Empirical Analysis of European Government Yield Spreads by Alois Geyer, Stephan Kossmeier, Stefan Pichler
These yield spreads form an important source of additional risk that has to be taken into account by any pricing or risk management model based on or dealing with EMU government bonds.
This paper focuses on the dynamics of yield spreads deducted from government bonds issued by member states of the European Monetary Union (EMU).
A descriptive analysis shows that there is a substantial and volatile spread between government zero coupon yields of EMU member countries and German Bund yields.

 Yield (economics) - Definition of word from Investor Dictionary - Define meaning of Yield (economics)
The yield of a financial instrument, usually a debt or other fixed income instrument, is the amount the holder is paid each year for leaving his or her money invested in that instrument.
While yields vary with inflation, they tend to fit in a fixed order: the least risky instruments, such as Treasury bonds, yield the least, then safe and "guaranteed" instruments like long-term deposits, then overnight deposits, and so on to the various municipal bond and corporate bonds.

Feed was the major item among the operating cost, which comprised 44 to 48%, followed by the prawn and fish cost ranging from 21–27%.
The percentage in number of female prawn ranged 65–72% in both L.D and H.D. There is a positive relationship between stocking density and the percentage both in number ans weight of female prawn as well as the marketable yield.
The marketable yield comprised about 87% of total biomass both in L.D and H.D. There was no extreme fluctuations of water quality parameters during culturing period, as well as the algal blooms.

Defoliating before a field has at least 50 percent of harvestable bolls open may result in both a loss of yield and fiber quality.
No matter which defoliation timing method you choose, researchers in Mississippi and Louisiana recommend first determining, by walking your fields, that you have at least 50 to 60 percent open bolls.

Monoculture of prawns posses a number of problems.
Most significant of all are resulting over fertile water in pond, where plankton or algal blooms might be occurred and eventually leading to a total ecological collapse (Abeliovich, 1969; Barica, 1975 in Cohen et al., 1983).
And the high stocking rate which usually practiced results on a wide range of sizes although high yield can be achieved, causing up to 50% of males to remain below market size during six months grow out period (Cohen et al., 1983).
