Suppose an item sells for​ $125 in the United States and for​ 62,500 pesos in Chile. According to the law of one​ price, the nominal exchange rate​ (pesos/dollar) should be​ ________.

Answers

Answer:

$1 = 500 Pesos

1 Pesos = $0.002

Explanation:

$125 = 62,500 Pesos

$1 = 62,500 / 125

$1 = 500 Pesos

$1 = 500 Pesos

1 Pesos = $1 / 500

1 Pesos = $0.002

Henry​ Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 50 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 35​% of the ​$12 unit cost and that annual demand is about 235 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be​ optimal?

Answers

Answer:

ordering costs = $22.34

Explanation:

economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD / H)

D = annual demand = 235H = holding cost = 35% x $12 = $4.20S = cost per order = ?EOQ = 50

50 = √[(2 x S x 235) / $4.20]

2,500 = (2 x S x 235) / $4.20

$10,500 = 2 x S x 235

S = $10,500 / (2 x 235) = $10,500 / 470 = $22.34

The Hirt & Block mutual fund has assets of $147 million, liabilities of $7 million and 7 million shares outstanding. The shares trade at $21.60 per share. What is the percentage load fee?

Answers

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The load fee would be the excess percentage amount charged on the share over the Net Asset Value per share.

= [tex]\frac{Trading price per share - Net Asset Value per share}{ Net Asset Value per share}[/tex]

Net Asset value Per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares

= (147 - 7) / 7

= $20

Load fee

= [tex]\frac{Trading price per share - Net Asset Value per share}{ Net Asset Value per share}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{21.60 - 20}{20}[/tex]

= 8%

Margin on price as a percentage is the expression of how much you mark your product up by to arrive at your retail price. True False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The margin on price refers to a percentage by taking a difference between the gross profit and the selling price

Here gross profit comes by

= Selling price - cost price

Now in the cost price we added some markup percentage i.e most probably equivalent to the retail price

Hence, the given statement is false

In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.

Answers

Answer:

b) $1,160

Explanation:

From the above information,

I=Investment = 50

G=Government expenditure = 150

X=Net export = 20

a=autonomous consumption = 100

b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

Y=Equilibrium GDP

C = consumption ;

C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)

Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)

PAE = C + l +G +X

Substituting for C in the above equation,

PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20

= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20

= 290 + 0.75Y

Since short run exists when Y = PAE

Therefore,

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Collect like terms

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y =290

Y = 290/0.25

Y = 1,160

Slack Inc. borrowed $400,000 on April 1. The note requires interest at 12% and principal to be paid in one year. How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31? a. $0. b. $48,000. c. $32,000. d. $36,000

Answers

Answer:

D.$36,000

Explanation:

Calculation for How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31

First step is to find the 12% of the amount that was borrowed which is $400,000

$400,000×12%

=$48,000

Now let calculate for the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31

Interest =$48,000×3/12

Interest =$12,000

Hence,

Interest =$48,000-$12,000

Interest=$36,000

Therefore the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31 will be $36,000

You purchased a share of stock for $120. One year later you received $1.82 as a dividend and sold the share for $136. What was your holding-period return

Answers

Answer:

Holding period return =14.85 %

Explanation:

The return on stock is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Holding period return = (Dividend + capital gain)/Begin Price of stock × 100  

Dividend = $1.82

Capital gains= 136 - 120 = 16

Total dollar return on Investment = 1.82 + 16= $ 17.82

                                      = 17.82/120 × 100 = 14.85 %

Holding period return =14.85 %

Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor

Explanation:

To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $1.22  million

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:

Cost of capital -discount rate -

WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd

After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56

WACC = (0.71×3.56 %)  + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %

PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7

PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32

Initial cost = 9.1 million

NPV = 10.32  - 9.1 =  1.22 million

NPV = $1.22  million

B.Number of new shares $500,000

Numbers of right needed 5.8

C.Ex-rights price $40.82

Value of a right $1.18

D.Portfolio value before the right offer $84,000

Portfolio value after the right offer $84,000

Explanation:

A.

The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares

The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0

B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold

Using this formula

Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share

Let plug in the formula

Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share

Number of new shares=$500,000

Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share

Using this formula

Numbers of right needed=Shares Outstanding/Number of new Shares

Let plug in the formula

Numbers of right needed=$2,900,000/$500,000

Numbers of right needed=5.8

C. Calculation for the ex-rights price

Using this formula

Ex-rights price=(Numbers of right needed*Maximum possible subscription price +Subscription price per share)/(Numbers of right needed+ One shares)

Let plug in the formula

Ex-rights price=(5.8*$42+$34)/(5.8+1)

Ex-rights price=$277.6/6.8

Ex-rights price=$40.82

Calculation for the value of a right

Using this formula

Value of a right =maximum possible subscription price-Ex-rights price

Let plug in the formula

Value of a right=$42-$40.82

Value of a right=$1.18

D. Calculation for What is his portfolio value before the right offer

Using this formula

Portfolio value before the right offer= Shareholders Shares *Maximum possible subscription price

Let plug in the formula

Portfolio value before the right offer=2,000*42

Portfolio value before the right offer=$84,000

Calculation for What is his portfolio value after the right offer

Using this formula

Portfolio value after the right offer=(Shareholders Shares*Ex-rights price) +(Shareholders Shares*Value of a right)

Let plug in the formula

Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)

Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360

Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000

Gabriel, Harris and Ida are members of Jeweled Watches, LLC. What are their options with respect to the management of their firm?

Answers

Answer:

They could be a Member-managed Limited Liability Company or a Manager-managed Limited Liability Company.

Explanation:

A Limited Liability Company is usually run by two or more partners. In managing this type of company, the members might choose to manage the company themselves. This is known as a member-managed Limited Liability Company. In such cases, if any member makes a decision in behalf of the business, with his signature appended to it, such a decision is considered legally binding on all other members of the company. Every member also has a say in the company's decision-making.

If they choose to be a manager-managed Limited Liability Company, they can appoint one or more non-members to manage the company for them. They do not interfere with how the manager chooses to run the company. They can still make important decisions but this is quite limited. However, they can choose to remove the manager/managers as they will.

As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?

Answers

Answer:

Performance appraisal in a company with diverse workforce becomes difficult because of some cultural biases that may exist between the manager, who is doing the appraisal, and the diverse workforce.  This problem becomes more acute if the manager is culturally biased and discriminatory by practise.

Explanation:

Company A can have a diverse workforce if it is made up of employees from culturally different places working together in the same workplace.  Bias often arises due to human cultural nuisances.  This becomes more obvious where managers are from some particular cultures while the employees are from mixed cultures.  In such situations, the managers need to be retrained to enable them embrace cultural diversity in the workplace and in performance evaluation.

The key cause due to which the performance appraisal becomes problematic due to diversity in the workforce would be:

- Cultural bias

What is performance appraisal?

Performance appraisal is described as the process of reviewing the performances done by the employees in a particular organization to attain its goals and reward them accordingly.

When the workforce of a particular company or organization becomes exceedingly diverse, it becomes problematic to do performance appraisals.

The reason behind this is that this diversity gives rise to cultural biases and may result in discrimination.

A food manufacturer reports the following for two of its divisions for a recent year.
($millions) Beverage Division Cheese Division
Invested assets, beginning $ 2,662 $ 4,455
Invested assets, ending 2,593 4,400
Sales 2,681 3,925
Operating income 349 634
1. Compute return on investment.
2. Compute profit margin.
3. Compute investment turnover for the year.A food manufacturer reports the following for two of its divisions for a recent year.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Return on investment is

= Operating Income ÷ Average invested Assets

here, average invested assets is

= (Invested assets, beginning + Invested assets, ending) ÷ 2

For Beverage Division

= $349 ÷ (($2,662 + $2,593) ÷ 2)

= $349 ÷ $2,628

= 13.28%

For Cheese Division

= $634 ÷ (($4,455 + $4,400) ÷ 2)

= $634 ÷ $4,428

= 14.32%

2. Profit margin = (Operating income ÷ sales) × 100

For Beverage Division

= ($349 ÷ $2,681) × 100

= 13.02%

For Cheese Division

= ($634 ÷ $3,925) × 100

= 16.15%

3. Investment turnover = Sales ÷ Average Operating Assets

For Beverage Division

= $2,681 ÷ (($2,662 + $2,593) ÷ 2)

= $2,681 ÷ $2,628

= 1.02 times

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $3,925 ÷ (($4,455 + $4,400) ÷ 2)

= $3,925 ÷ $4,428

= 0.89 times

The last dividend paid by Coppard Inc. was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 27.5% for 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% forever. If the firm's required return (rs) is 11%, what is its current stock price

Answers

Answer:

36.38

Explanation:

The Current stock price can be calculated by identifying Present value of dividends in all three years adding terminal value of dividends in year 3.

Year Dividend Growth  Dividend   PV factor  Present Values

1  1.25           127.5%   1.59    0.900901         1.43  

 2  1.59           127.5%   2.03           0.811622          1.64  

 3  2.03          127.5%   2.59    0.731191     1.88  

 3                                    42.987(w)  0.731191           31.43  

Total PV                                                                     36.38  

Current Dividend = 2.59    

Rate of return       = 11.00%    

Growth Rate        = 6.00%    

Terminal value = Current Dividend*(1+Growth rate)/(Rate of return-Growth Rate)

Terminal value = 2.59 x (1+0.06) / (0.11-0.06)  

Terminal value =42.987

   

Current stock price = 1.43 +1.64+1.88+31.43

Current stock price = 36.38
