Prior to the 1870s, both gold and silver were used as international means of payment and the exchange rates among currencies wer

e determined by either their gold or silver contents. Suppose that the dollar was pegged to gold at $30 per ounce, the French franc is pegged to gold at 90 francs per ounce and to silver at 9 francs per ounce of silver, and the German mark pegged to silver at 1 mark per ounce of silver. What would the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and German mark be under this system?

Answer:

the exchange rate between U.S. dollar and German mark be under this system will be of 3 U$D = 1 german mark

Explanation:

We will use gold and silver as a mean to equalize both currencies:

<u>First equivalence between silver and gold:</u>

90 francs = 1 ounce of gold

9 franc = 1 ounce of silver

90/9 = 10 ounce of silver equals 1 ounce of gold.

<u>Now, we convert the german mark to gold:</u>

1 german mark = ounce of silver

10 german mark = ounce of gold.

<u>Finally, we equalize with the US dollars:</u>

30 dollar = ounce of gold = 10 german mark

30 dollars = 10 german mark

3 dollars = 1 german mark

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The answer is 8 years.

Explanation:

In Offer 2, we apply the present value formular for annuity to calculate the number of repayment, thus number of year payback because repayment is made once a year.

We have the formular to calculate present value of annuity as followed:

PV = (C/i) x [1-(1+i)^(-n)].

apply to the question, we have:

          PV = the owed principal amount = $15,000;

           i = annual interest rate compounded once a year = 20%;

           C = number of equal annual repayment =  $3,900;

            n: number of repayment made thus number of year payback.

As we need to find n, we have:

15,000 = (3,900/20%) x [ 1- 1.20^(-n)] <=> 1-1.2^(-n) = 0.769 <=> 1.2(^-n) = 0.231 <=> n = -(the base 1.2 logarithm of 0.231) = 8

noname [10]

Answer:

  • move
  • none are tied

Explanation:

See the attached for a spreadsheet of the values given in the problem statement. We have simply added the salary to the value of the preference and subtracted the one-time moving expense.

The right-most column shows the net increase in value of moving to Miami for each of the householders. Bonnie achieves so much more value that her net value outweighs the rather significant hit in value that Donna experiences.

If the vote is by net value to the householders, they must vote to move. There are no householders that have a net zero change in value.

_____

<em>Comment on democracy</em>

A decision based on net value does not account for the rather significant cost to Donna. If the household values mental health and interpersonal relationships, the fact that one member suffers badly from the move should be enough to sway the decision against it.

Identify the appropriate step in the communication process.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Sender encodes message.

Explanation:

Communication is the process of transmitting information from one party to another. The communication process has five (5) steps: <em>encoding, planning, medium, decoding, </em>and <em>feedback</em>. In the encoding step, the idea to be transmitted is schemed in letters, words or symbols without sending them to the channel.

Thus, <em>by writing a recommendation report, Crystal Jenkins is in the encoding stage of communication.</em>
