In economics, the Fisher equation is used to determine the
relationship of the nominal interest rate and the real interest rate. This
equation takes into account the effect of inflation. Mathematically this is
expressed as:
Real rate = 
-1
The values given are:
Nominal rate= 10% =
0.1
Inflation=5%=0.05
Substituting known
values and by calculation:
<span>Real rate=0.0476 =
4.76%</span>
Answer: Increase of 3.2%
Explanation:
Return on Investment (ROI) is the return that Ruby would make over her college degree fees.
It is the internal rate of return that would equate her future earnings to the investment in college fees.
Change in ROI = 11.18% - 7.98
= 3.2%
Increase of 3.2%
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
Computation of allocation of factory overhead cost for the Job NO 117:
Now, computing the rate of overhead allocation as:
Pre- determined rate of overhead allocation = Estimated aggregate overhead / estimated number of labor hours
where
Estimated aggregate overhead is $95,000
Estimated number of labor hours is 9,500 hours
Putting the values above:
= $95,000 / 9,500 hours
= $10 per hour.
Computing the overhead cost to be allocated to Job No 117 as:
Overhead cost to be allocated to Job No 117 = Number of direct labor hours × pre- determined rate of overhead
where
Number of direct labor hours is 2,300 hours
Pre- determined rate of overhead allocation is 10 per hour
Putting the values above:
= 2,300 hours × $10 per hour
= $23,000
Answer:
The correct answer here is A) above, demand , fall.
Explanation:
Whenever the interest rate on bond is more or above the equilibrium's rate of interest , then this means there is excess demand for the bond in the market and since this excess demand for bond will lead to decrease in the interest rate of the bond, while if the situation was opposite ( excess supply in market ) the interest rate would have risen.
Answer:
Truman has a higher inventory turnover ratio and Stapleton has a higher gross profit ratio ( D )
Explanation:
Truman sell a large number of common household items ( assuming 100 unit )
while Stapleton sells a small number of expensive items ( assuming 20 units )
lets assume : Truman sells at $5 per unit and Stapleton sells at $50 per unit
with the above assumptions
Truman gross profit ratio = $5 * 100 units = $500
Stapleton gross profit ratio = $50 * 20 units = $1000
from the above assumptions you can deduce that the gross profit made by Stapleton is higher although he sells a smaller amount of goods while Truman has a higher Turnover because of its higher number of sold units
