Answer:
break even point in units:
- a = 11,700
- b = 46,800
- c = 35,100
Explanation:
beer mugs contribution margin expected sales
a $5 25,000
b $4 100,000
c $3 50,000
fixed costs = $351,000
if the sales proportion remains the same, we can assume a bundle of products = 1a + 4b + 3c (1 for every 25,000 units) whose contribution margin = $5 + $16 + $9 = $30
break even point = fixed costs / bundle's contribution margin = $351,000 / $30 = 11,700 bundles
break even point in units:
a = 11,700
b = 11,700 x 4 = 46,800
c = 11,700 x 3 = 35,100

money to fix the house, take a vacation, or buy holiday presents, don't
put too much into a long-term CD. Like savings, checking, and money market accounts, CDs are FDIC insured for up to $100,000

Answer:
Please refer explanation and tables attached
Explanation:
1. Double-declining balance Method:
This is where the asset's value is depreciated at twice the rate than the straight line method. The depreciation amounts would be higher in the early years of the asset's life and gradually reduce towards the end. Hence, it does not mean that the depreciation amount would be higher than the straight line basis.
Straight Line depreciation per year = 1/6* x 100 = 16.67%
*as it is useful for six years
Hence double-depreciation value = 16.67% x 2 = 33.34%
It is calculated as depreciation rate x book value of asset at the beginning of the period.
Please refer attached table one for all years depreciation.
2. Activity based depreciation is whereby an asset is depreciated based on the asset’s activity such as the number of hours worked or the number of units produced, during a particular period of time. Activity based depreciation per year is calculated as:
[(Cost - Salvage value) x activity performed during the period] / Total estimated life activity of the asset
Please refer attached table two for all years depreciation.
Answer:
No, a currency carry trade with positive profit can not be conducted.
Explanation:
The currency carry trade is the trading strategy where investor funding from lower-yield currency to invest in higher-yield currency with expectation to earn positive profit from the yield differences between the two currencies.
However, this strategy only works when the difference is big enough to compensate for the depreciation ( if any) of the higher-yield currency against the lower-yield currency.
With the given information, the strategy will not work because the depreciation of NZ$ against US$ after one-year is too big to be compensated for the yield difference.
For specific example, suppose the strategy is conducted, in 2008, an investor will borrow, for example, US$1 at 4.2%, exchange it to NZ$1.71. Then, invest NZ$1.71 at 9.1%.
In 2019, an investor will get NZ$1.86561 (1.71 x 1.091). The, he/she exchanges at the 2019 exchange rate, for US$1.36176 (1.86561 / 1.37). While at the same time, he will have to pay back 1 x 1.042 = US$1.042 => The loss making in US$ is US$0.32.
Answer:
Increase; increase.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy.
A low home inflation rate relative to other countries would increase the home country's current account balance, other things being equal. Low growth in the home income level relative to other countries would increase the home country's current account balance, other things being equal. A country's current account balance is a statement of the value of its exports and imports of goods and services at a specific period of time.
<em>Hence, when the level of inflation is low in a particular country; their current account balance would be high. However, when the level of inflation is high it results in low growth and as such increases the home country's current account balance, other things being equal. </em>
