Answer:

b. A very large increase in sales. A very rapid and similar response by the other large firms in the industry.

Explanation:

As for the information there is no clear agreement to sell the goods at the same price, like that of other industries.

Further since all the companies follow the same price, there is no such differentiation.

In case one of the companies, in our case company A if decreases the price then it will abruptly that is in no clear sequence will increase its sales, and the after effects will also include the decrease in prices by other remaining industries that is B, C and D.

The money multiplier equals:________.
Serjik [45]

Answer: B. 1/R, where R represents the reserve ratio for all banks in the economy.

Explanation:

The Money Multiplier is the money that Banks generate given a certain RESERVE REQUIREMENT/RATIO.

A Reserve Requirement is money that the Central Bank requires that Banks do not loan out and instead keep in reserve.

For example, if the reserve rate is 10% and a bank has $10 they can only loan out $9.

Assuming they loan out $9 then they created $19 in the economy because their customers still own the original $10 but now they have also given loans of $9. The people who take the loans then deposit it in another bank. That bank would keep $0.90 in reserve and loan out $8.10 meaning that $27.10 now exists in the economy.

The process goes on and on until it gets to $100.

A simpler way to get to the final figure is to divide 1 by the reserve requirement = 1/r which is the money multiplier.

Using the above example, that would be 1/0.1 which is 10.

Multiplying this 10 by the initial deposit of $10 will give you that same $100.

Calip Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for October: Sales $427,000 Cost of goods sold (all v
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: $222,800

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $427,000

Cost of goods sold (all variable) = $173,400

Total variable selling expense = $21,200

Total fixed selling expense = $18,900

Total variable administrative expense = $9,600

Total fixed administrative expense = $36,300

Variable expenses:

= Cost of goods sold + Variable selling expense + Variable administrative expense

= $173,400 + $21,200 + $9,600

= $204,200

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses

                                  = $427,000 - $204,200  

                                 = $222,800

You find the following Treasury bond quotes. To calculate the number of years until maturity, assume that it is currently May 20
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$1,247.12

Explanation:

For computing the asked price we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 4.151% ÷ 2 = 2.076%

NPER = 17 years  × 2 = 34 years

The 20 years come from May 2019 to May 2036

PMT = $1,000 × 6.193% ÷ 2 = $30.965

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the present value or the ask price is $1,247.12
