Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $562,800 for the year along with 20,100 direct labor hours. Actual manufacturing over
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$604,800

Explanation:

Applied manufacturing overhead is the manufacturing overhead that has been applied to production in a period.

it is calculated with the formula "budgeted overhead rate * actual labor hr"

Budgeted manufacturing overhead = $562,800

Budgeted Direct labor hours = 20,100

Budgeted Overhead rate = 562800/20100 =$28/hr

Actual manufacturing overhead = $543,705

Actual direct labor hours = 21600

Amount of manufacturing overhead applied = predetermined overhead rate * actual hr =28*21600

=$604,800

The marginal product of labor in the production of computer chips is 3030 chips per hour. The marginal rate of technical substit
fredd [130]

Answer:

150

Explanation:

As we know that

The marginal rate of technical substitution ​(MRTS) = Marginal product of labor ÷ Marginal product of capital

where,

The marginal rate of technical substitution ​(MRTS) = 0.20

And, the marginal product of labor is 30 chips per hour

So, the marginal product of capital is

= 30 chips per hour ÷ 0.20

= 150

The marginal rate of technical substitution ​(MRTS​) shows a relationship between the marginal product of labor and the marginal product of capital
