Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The question is missing the below options:

A. par value

B. par value less a discount

C. par value plus a mark-up

D. par value plus a commission

The correct option is A, par value

Explanation:

Securities such as the Federal Farm Credit System bonds are usually sold to the public through a chain of issuing houses consisting of bank and brokers who traditionally sell to the public at par value.

The consequence of selling at par is that these issuing houses charge a percentage of par value as their commission before remitting the balance to the beneficiary of bonds issuance.

In other words, the agency issuing the bonds must consider the commission payable before deciding on the bonds to be issued.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Software development to be recognized = Cost incurred after achievement of technological feasibility = $400,000

Explanation:

Useful life = 4 years

Annual amortization = $400,000 / 4 years = $100,000

Period of amortization in 2016 = July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 = 6 months

Year 2016 amortization = $100,000 × 6 months/12 months = $100,000 × 1/2 = $50,000

Consider the following production function: Q=(L+K)1/2

boyakko [2]

Answer:

(a) MPL = 1/2

(b) MPK = 1/2

(d) APK = = L/2K+ 1/2

(e) TRSL,K = 1

Explanation:

Q = (L+K)1/2 = L/2 + K/2 ……………………………………………………. (1)

Where Q is the total output, L is Labour and K is capital

(a) What is the Marginal Product of Labor (MPL)?

To get MPL, differentiate equation (1) with respect to L as follows:

MPL = dQ/dL = 1/2

(b) What is the Marginal Product of Capital (MPK)?

To get MPK, differentiate equation with respect to K as follows:

MPK = dQ/dL = 1/2

Both MPL and MPK are diminishing since each of them is 1/2 which less than one.

(c) What is the Average Product of Labor (APL)?

To calculate APL, divide equation (1) by L as follows:

APL = Q/L = (L/2)/L + (K/2)/L

= 1/2+ K/2L

(d) What is the Average Product of Capital (MPK)?

To calculate APK, divide equation (1) by K as follows:

APL = Q/K = (L/2)/K + (K/2)/K

= L/2K+ 1/2

(e) What is the TRSL,K ?

TRSL,K implies Technical Rate of Subsitution of L for K = MPK/MPL

TRSL,K = MPK/MPL

Since both MPK and MPL are each equal to 1/2 as calculated under (a) and (b) above, we substitute for them in the TRSL,K as follows:

TRSL,K = MPK/MPL = (1/2)/(1/2) = 1

(e.1.) Is the absolute value of TRSL,K diminishing in L or K?

No, it neither diminishing in L nor K since the answer is equal to 1.

(e.2.) Are there constant, decreasing, or increasing returns to scale?

Since the TRSL,K is equal to 1, it implies there is a constant return to scale.

I wish you the best.

He _____ provides a basis for creating the project schedule and performing earned value management for measuring and forecasting

kirza4 [7]

The work breakdown structure provides a basis for creating the project schedule and performing earned value management for measuring and forecasting project performance. A work breakdown structure is also known as WBS- which helps break down the team's work into smaller, more manageable sections. By breaking down the sections into smaller groups gives more opportunity for completion before moving on to the next group and makes the tasks more managable.

What does the consumer price index measure? A. the change in prices of all goods and services over time B. the change in prices

viktelen [127]

What does the consumer price index measure? B. the change in prices of specific goods and services over time. The consumer price index is also know as the CPI when reffering to this calculation. The CPI measures the weighted items of specific consumer goods and services by averaging them overtime. The CPI allows for comparison of the same products that consumers use on a daily basis and see how much they are using each year. This lets us know how the economy is doing as it relates to inflation. Inflation is the increase in prices and decline of the purchasing value of money in an economy.
