Answer:
$1.804 ; $1.7856
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The formula is presented below:
= Initial forecast + a × (Actual demand of last month - initial forecast of last month)
For November, it would be
=$1.83 + 0.1 × ($1.57 - $1.83)
= $1.83 - 0.026
= $1.804
For December, it would be
=$1.804+ 0.1 × ($1.62 - $1.804)
= $1.804 - 0.0184
= $1.7856
Answer:
B. It eliminated all tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers from within North America.
Explanation:
The North American Free Trade Agreement was a pact formed between America, Canada, and Mexico to encourage trade between these three countries. This pact encouraged trade within these three nations by eliminating tariff barriers that would otherwise have limited trade between the countries.
NAFTA became active on January 1, 1994. NAFTA today has been replaced by another agreement known as the United States- Mexico Trade Agreement. This was made possible by President Donald Trump who believed that NAFTA was not really fair on America.
Answer:
the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%
Explanation:
the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.
We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104
with excel or a financial calculator
PV of the coupon payment
C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)
time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)
rate <em>0.052787474</em>
PV $99.4338
PV of the maturity
Maturity 100.00
time 60.00
rate <em>0.052787474</em>
PV 4.57
<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>
PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000
The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.
This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:
0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947
The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%
Answer:
D. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 and Firm 2 each to produce 10.
Explanation:
Firm 2
10 units 20 units
10 units 30 / 50 /
Firm 1 30 35
20 units 40 / 20 /
60 20
(firm 1 /
firm 2)
Firm 1's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 50 = 80
Firm 2's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 60 = 90
Since both firms have the same dominant strategy (to produce 10 units), there is a Nash Equilibrium where both firms produce 10 units and each one earns 30.
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
Warranty cost are the cost associated with the repair or replacement of a product in case it does not perform as intended after purchase.
It is debited to the warranty expenses account and credited to the warranty liability account.
Total sales for the year - $3,000,000
Warranty estimate basis - 4%
Estimated warranty - 3,000,000 * 4% = $120,000
Warranty cost incurred = $67,500
Balance to be recorded for the year = 120,000 -67,500
$52,500
