In recent years, the government of Pakistan has established a support price for wheat of about $0.20 per kilogram of wheat. At t

his price, consumers are willing to purchase 10 billion kilograms of what per year, while Pakistani farmers are willing to grow and harvest 18 billion kilograms of wheat per year. The government purchases and stores all surplus wheat.
We know that

a. consumers buy 10 billion kilograms at the support price of $0.20 per kilogram and hence spend $2 billion on wheat

b. The amount of surplus wheat at the support price is 8 billion kilograms, so at the $0.20 per kilogrgram support price, the government must spend $1.6 billion to purchase this surplus wheat.

c. Pakistani wheat farmers receive a total of $3.6 billion for the wheat that they produce at the support price.



Using the above information suppose that the market clearing price of Pakistani wheat in the absence of price supports is equal to $0.10 per kilogram. At this price, the quantity of wheat dermanded is 12 billion kilograms. Under the government wheat price-support program, how much more is spent each year on wheat harvested in Pakistan than otherwise would have been spent in an unregulated market for Pakistani wheat?

Answer:

$800 million more

Explanation:

Amount spent each year under the government wheat price-support program = $0.2 × 10 billion = $2 billion

Amount spent each year in an unregulated market for Pakistani wheat = $0.1 × 12 billion = $1.2 billion

Amount spent more each year under the government wheat price-support program than otherwise would have been spent in an unregulated market = $2 billion - $1.2 billion = $800 million

Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United Stat
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$1.55

Explanation:

Interest rate parity = (1+Rh) / (1+Rf) = F1 / S0

Rh = rate on home currency here US is home 3% p.a = 3%/4 = 0.75%

Rf= rate on foreign currency here Germany 3.5% p.a = 3.5%/4 = 0.875

F1 = Forward rate , S0= Spot market rate

So, (1+0.0075) / (1+0.00875) = F1 / 1.56

1.0075/1.00875 = F1 / 1.56

0.998761 = F1 / 1.56

F1 = 0.998761 * 1.56

F1 = 1.55806716

F1 = $1.55

Thus, the 90-day forward rate is $1.55

Unrealized gains on trading securities of $100,000 is not being added to the stockholders equity because it has been charges in profit and Loss statement and it is reflected in the net Income which is already been included in retained earning. Only Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities of 200,000 is reported in the Stockholder's equity under separate head in the balance sheet.

Which of the following assets would be subject to cost recovery?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Landscaping around the doctor's office.

Cost recovery is an accounting method by which the expenses incurred in an organization -for its own benefits- is tried to be recovered. Depreciation is taken into consideration in the process but the least possible so that the return is maximized.

In that sense, only the <em>landscaping of a doctor's office </em>can be considered as a beneficial asset for the business.
