Answer:

$16,650

The computation for the market value of one contract is shown below:

= Size of the contract × current quoted price

where,

The Size of the contract is 50,000 lbs

and, the current quoted price  is 0.333

= 50,000 lbs × 33.3 ÷ 100

= $16,650

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The contributions of these transactions is a reduction to GDP by $500 in 2011 and an increase in GDP by $800 in 2012.

Explanation:

GDP is the abbreviation for gross domestic product which is the monetary value of all finished products (goods and services) made within a country during a specific period (usually a year). In the determination of a country's GDP, imports are subtracted while exports or sales are added.

Therefore considering that Amy received a shipment of Valentine's Day cards in December 2011 paying a total of $500 and sold all the cards for a total of $800 in February 2012, the contributions of these transactions is a reduction to GDP by $500 in 2011 and an increase in GDP by $800 in 2012.

garri49 [273]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the current ratio and the acid ratio is shown below:

The current ratio is

= Current assets ÷ current liabilities

= ($96 + $88 + $176 + $12) ÷ ($86 + $29)

= $372 ÷ $115

= 3.23 times

And, the quick ratio is

= Quick assets ÷ current liabilities

= ($372 - $176) ÷  ($86 + $29)

= $196 ÷ $115

= 1.70 times

Hence, the current ratio and the acid-test ratio is 3.23 times and 1.70 times respectively

A firm agreed to pay its workers ​$2525 an hour in 2016 and ​$4141 an hour in 2017. The price level for these years was 241 in 2
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
