Answer:
the fixed dollar-pound exchange rate is consistently below the equilibrium exchange rate that would be produced by a private foreign exchange market.
Explanation:
Fixing an exchange rate means that the government is trying to intervene in valuation of its currency. It is fixing it's currencie's rate to another and using reserves to handle fluctuations in market price.
When the fixed rate is below equillibrum there is surplus of the countrie's currency at the fixed rate. The government will buy this surplus (if not the value will fall) by selling their foreign currency reserves. This is done to maintain the fixed exchange rate.
Reduced reserves of pounds noticed by the Central bank is as a result of fixed price below equilibrium.
Answer:
WACC = 0.08085 or 8.085% rounded off to 8.09%
Option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
- r represents the cost of each component
We first need to calculate the weight of each stock. We know the basic accounting equation is,
Assets = Debt + Equity
We know the debt to equity ratio is 3. Then total assets will be,
Assets = 3 + 1
Assets = 4
Using the CAPM equation, we can calculate the cost of equity.
r = risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium
r = 0.03 + 1.5 * 0.09
r = 0.165 or 16.5%
WACC = 3/4 * 0.08 * (1 - 0.34) + 1/4 * 0.165
WACC = 0.08085 or 8.085% rounded off to 8.09%
Answer:
Arc price elasticity of demand = -0.273
Explanation:
This problem is solved as follows:
1. Identify the data.
Outpatient visit Price / visit
Tokyo 1.25 / month 20y
Hokkaido 1.5 / month 10y
Outpatient visits equal the quantities demanded of the service. Therefore, we can say that:
Qt (Outpatient visits in Tokyo) = 1.25 / month
Qh (Outpatient visits in Hokkaido) = 1.5 month.
With the following prices:
Pt (Price in Tokyo) = 20y
Ph (Price in Hokkaido) = 10 y
2. Apply the formula to calculate arc-elasticity of demand:
We replace the data:
Final answer: -0.27275 or -0.273
Answer:
In brief an overspeed failure on a big steam or gas turbine is one of the most frightening industrial accidents.
A turbine overspeed accident can be caused by a lightning-induced power surge, a fouled pilot valve, an electrical fault, operator failure, or any of a few dozen other problems.
The trip mechanisms on most turbines are required by law to be tested periodically.
Explanation:
Answer:
Machinery asset increase by $320,750
Total asset increase by $315,000
Total liabilities increase by $315,000
Explanation:
As we know that
Accounting equation is
Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity
Since the industrial veneer cutter is purchased for
= Note payable + transportation cost + installation cost
= $315,000 + $5,000 + $750
= $320,750
There is a cash outflow of $5,000 + $750 i.e $5,750 which decrease the assets
But at the same time it also increased the assets by
= $320,750 - $5,750
= $315,000
And, since there is a note payable for $315,000 which also increased the liabilities
