Answer:
1.90%
Explanation:
Note that that CAD exchange rate would be in terms of how many US dollars can be exchanged for 1 CAD, which means that the formula for forward premium would be stated in terms of US dollars, I mean the US$ as the numerator and CAD's interest rate would be the denominator
the forward premium for CAD=((1+US interest rate)/(1+Canada interest rate))-1
the forward premium for CAD=((1+7%)/(1+5%))-1
the forward premium for CAD=1.90%
Instead of investing a lump of sum of $25000,Brittany Royer decides to svae the money in a vault for 2years. Assuming the inflation being 2.5%per year,how much will her purchasing power decline in 2years
Answer:
$1265.63
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Loss in purchasing value = future value of the amount saved - amount saved
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$25000 (1.025)² = $26.265.625
Amount lost = $26.265.625 - $25,000 = $1265.63
In a closed economy, public saving is the amount of a. income that households have left after paying for taxes and consumption. b. spending that the government undertakes in excess of the taxes it collects. c. income that businesses have left after paying for the factors of production. d. tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending.
Answer:
In a closed economy, public saving is the amount of
d. tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending.
Explanation:
Public saving or budget surplus in a closed economy describes the excess of government revenue (obtained through taxation of individuals and businesses in the economy) and government expenditures on goods and services. In an open economy, transfers are deducted before arriving at the public saving. In all economies, the addition of private (individual and business) and public savings result to national investments.
What would cause an economy to be producing at a point inside its production possibilities curve?
Answer:
The correct answer is: the lack of effectivization in the use of their resources inside the economy to obtain the best outcomes possibles.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the economic theory the term known as production possibilities curve refers to a strategic tool, a graphic that can be used by the professionals of the area in order to understand how the economy is working with its resources, if the economy is producing well enough then the economy should be getting great development results and the point inside the graphic should be in the limit of the curve, but if the point is in the inside of the curve then that means that the resources inside that particulary economy are not being fully use to their best in order to obtain the best outcome so that will explain that there is still possibility to expand the production according to the theory of the tool itself.

PillPack is an example of a startup organization that grew out of the identification of a problem that needed a solution.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
actor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.60 Direct labor 24.60 Overhead 43.00 Total product cost per unit $ 76.20 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer:
Relevant cost to make = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $43.00 (1-60%)
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $17.20
Relevant cost to make = $50.40
Outside supplier cost ($48.40) < Relevant cost to make ($50.40). So, Factor should choose to buy because the relevent cost is less than outside supplier cost.
You are stowing items and come across an aerosol bottle of hairspray. What
should you do? Please choose all that apply.
Question Completion with Options:
o Stow the hairspray
o Raise an Andon
o Remove it and secure it with bubble wrap
o Place a Flammable sticker on the bottle
Answer:
What to do:
o Stow the hairspray
Explanation:
Stowing means the arrangement or placement of items, especially in a neat, compact way to enable easy retrieval when required. Therefore, you should continue what you have started by arranging the bottle of hairspray where it belongs in the appropriate packing space. Stowing ensures that items are properly arranged and put in their proper places or conditions when they are not in use.
Examine a product that has recently changed prices when you were at the grocery store in the past week. Analyze one determinant of supply and demand that has created the price to increase or decrease in your example. How did the change in demand or supply affect the market price in your example
Answer:
In the store the bread seemed to have a higher demand this week. When we went monday the shelfs were full of bread and the bread was 3.75 and when we went saturday it was 3.99. I think because it was in higher demand the bread went uo in cost so they wouldn't sell out.
Unobserved effects versus idiosyncratic errors
Suppose you have two years' worth of panel data on wages and work experience of adults; however, the data set has no further information on the characteristics of the individuals in the data set. Specifically, you have cross-sectional wage and work experience data on individuals in 2006, and cross-sectional data on those same individuals in 2012. You plan to use the following fixed effects model to analyze the effects of work experience on wages:
log (wage it ) = βo + 80 yr10, + B1 experit + ai + uit
where
wage it = yearly wage of individual i at time t, in dollars
yrl0, =1 in the year 2010 (t = 2), and =0 otherwise (t = 1)
exper = years of work experience of individual i, at time t
ai = unobserved (time-invariant) effect
uit = idiosyncratic error
Two other factors that can influence wage, which you have not controlled for in your model, are height and industry of employment.
Use the following table to indicate which term in the fixed effects model captures the effect of height, which term captures the effect of industry of employment, and which term captures the effect of work experience.
ai uit β1
Work experience
Height
Industry of employment
Answer:
The terms that capture the effect of industry of employment and work experience are:
Industry of employment = uit
Work experience = β1
Height = ai
Explanation:
a) Data:
ai uit β1
Work experience
Height
Industry of employment
b) Explanation
The "idiosyncratic error" (uit) describes the unobserved factors that impact the dependent variable. For example, industry of employment, and this factor vary from one-time period to the next.
The unobserved (time-invariant) effect (ai) refers to the height of the industry of employment, which does not vary over time.
Finally, work experience is depicted by β1, which is a factor that changes with time.
