Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

In​ 2008, as a financial crisis began to unfold in the United​ States, the FDIC raised the limit on insured losses to bank depositors from​ $100,000 per account to​ $250,000 per account.

During the financial crisis, there was a sense of panic. The regulators were concerned that depositors would expect their banks to crash and would fear that they may lose their money. The regulators expect the depositors to pull money back from their banks. The money supply will get reduced further. This will further reduce the money with banks. This could lead to even healthy banks to fail.

Raising the insurance limit would reassure depositors that their money was safe in banks and prevent a bank panic. This will further help to stabilize the financial system.

Suppose that the spot price of the euro is currently $1.30. The 1-year futures price is $1.35. Is the interest rate higher in th
valkas [14]

Answer:

The interest rate is higher in the US.

Explanation:

The forward price is calculated using the following formula,

F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t

where,

  • F = Forward rate
  • S = Spot rate
  • Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
  • Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
  • t = time in years

We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD

The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.

We can see this by the following example,

Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)

F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1   => $1.362 PER 1EUR

The Rowe Corporation uses a standard cost system. The company applies manufacturing overhead to units of product based on machin
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $216,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $225,000

Estimated machine-hours= 25,000

At standard, each unit of finished product requires 3 machine-hours. Units of product completed 8,000 units

<u>To allocate overhead, we need to use the standard number of machine-hours that would take to produce 8,000 units.</u>

First, we need to determine the estimated overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 225,000/25,000= &9 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated overhead= 9*(8,000*3)= $216,000
