Answer:
Because the current money multiplier is <u>2</u>, the Fed would <u>BUY $500,000</u> worth of bonds, <u>INCREASING</u> the monetary base and so increasing the money supply by $1 million.
Explanation:
if the Fed wants to increase the money supply by $1 million, then it would need to purchase US securities worth $500,000. The formulas used to calculate the impact of the Fed's operations are:
increase in money supply = additional funds x money multiplier
- money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 50% = 2
- desired increase in money supply = $1 million
$1,000,000 = additional funds x 2
additional funds = $1,000,000 / 2 = $500,000
Answer:
a. $11
b. $35
c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
Explanation:
The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.
When there is excess capacity.
Note : No opportunity costs would exist.
Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost
= $11
When there is excess capacity.
Note : Opportunity costs would exist.
Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost
= $11 + ($35 - $11 )
= $35
Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.
If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
Answer:
(A) 11.3% (B) $430,000
Explanation:
There seems to be an error in the compounding equation written as A(t) = 50,000(1.055)2t.
Compounding the semi annual return, the equation should be
where t is the number of years.
The equation is similar to the first expected that 1.055 is raised to the power of (2t) and not multiplied by it.
(A) Compounding at 5.5% semi-annually, the equivalent annual growth rate is computed as follows.
= 
= 1.113025 - 1
= 0.113025 = 11.3025%
= 11.3% (to the nearest tenth of a percent).
(B) In 20 years, the investment will be worth
(where t=20)
= 
= 
= 50,000 * 8.5133
= $425,665
= $430,000 (to the nearest ten thousand dollars)
