That statement is true
For example if you lend $ 100,000 to your friend with 10% interest rate per year,
The initial $ 100,000 is the one that you consider as principle.
Meanwhile the amount of money that considered as interest is $100,000 x 10% = $ 10,000 per year.

The statement above is correct. The principle or principal amount is the money that one borrows or invests. Both are subject to interest. The interest earned will depend on the terms you agreed to with your bank or financial institution.

Which of the following is a period during which aggregate output, as measured by real GDP, declines

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

D. Recession

Explanation:

Aggregate output in an economy declines during a recession. This is because economic activities are declining. When such occurs GDP declines. This is different from stagflation in the sense that during a recession, only real GDP declines. However, in a stagflation, the fall in GDP also results to the increase in inflation. During recessions, economic activities are low so is price level.

Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer. The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exact

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer

a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:

A$ 1 = ¥90

Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90

b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:

= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90

= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90

= ¥351.26214 =A$1

c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.

d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:

(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:

Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =

A$ 1,333,333.33333

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667

(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:

Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =

A$4 million

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million

Explanation:

a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.

b) If A$ 1 = ¥90

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.

Specific statements detailing what the organization intends to accomplish over a short period of time are called objectives. Objectives are stated by the company to keep goals on track and allow the organization to monitor their growth and completion. By keeping objectives open to everyone within the organization, it makes it easier for employees to stay on task and make sure by the end of the period, everything is done.

Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the sa

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2]

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

1.21

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] 

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

0.77

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.
