Answer:

The profit for an investor who has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage is $1,639.

Explanation:

Bank A has a ask rate of $0.305, so the investor can exchange his $500,000 at Bank A and get = $500,000/$.305 =  MYR = 1,639,344

Bank B has a bid rate of $0.306, he can invest 1,639,344= 1,639,344 × $.306 = $501,639.

501,639 - $500,000 = $1,639.

Thus, the profit is $1,639.

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira. Read the summary of the court opinion. Could something like this bankrupt a
tester [92]

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira.

Could something like this bankrupt a company?

Yes, it can, if the proper forecast were not done taking into consideration all of the possible variables at medium and long-range.

Do you agree with the decision?

It was a tough decision because the court declared in its decision that the performance was not impracticable, as Maple Farm Inc indicated when decided to break the contract.

In strict theory, I agree with the court's decision because the explanation was that an "impractical" occurred when an event happened totally unexpected. And in this case, Mapple Farm Inc could have taken extra provisions knowing that milk had a 10% increase the last year and had the chance of more increases in the present year.

That is how a company can avoid this type of situation. Taking better provisions, contemplating all kinds of variables, knowing that in the future, something unexpected can happen and could be prevented with the proper forecast.

Smiley Industrial Goods has $1,000 face value bonds on the market with semiannual interest payments, 13.5 years to maturity, and
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Annual Coupon rate =  66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = C

Total periods (n) = 13.5 * 2 = 27

r or YTM = 0.064 * 6/12 = 0.032 or 3.2%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

We will first calculate the value of semi coupon payment  made by the bond.

1023 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.032)^-27) / 0.032]  + 1000 / (1+0.032)^27

1023 = C * 17.8994796  +  427.2166529

1023 -  427.2166529  =  C * 17.8994796

595.7833471 / 17.8994796  =  C

C = 33.28495355 rounded off to 33.28

The annual coupon payment will be = 33.28495355 * 2 = 66.56990711 rounded off to 66.57

Annual Coupon rate =  66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

The government unit that wants to achieve "revenue enhancement" will find it considerably more favorable to enact an excise tax
boyakko [2]

Answer:

C. highly inelastic

Explanation:

An excise tax on a product will increase its price from the equilibrium point, to a higher point set by the government.

If the government was to enhance its revenue by this means, it should enact the excise tax on products that are highly inelastic.

This is because a highly inelastic product is one whose quantity demanded does not fall considerably even if the price rises a lot.

This means that even if the product is more expensive after the excise tax, consumer will continue to buy it, increasing government revenue in this way.

Apex Fitness Club uses straight-line depreciation for a machine costing $23,860, with an estimated four-year life and a $2,400 s
maria [59]

Answer:

1. Book value at end of year 2 = $13,130

2. Depreciation from year 3 for last 3 years = $3,710 each year, that is $11,130 for three years.

Explanation:

As for the provided details, we have:

Cost of machinery = $23,860

Expected life = 4 years

Salvage value = $2,400

Straight line depreciation = \frac{23,860 - 2,400}{4} = 5,365

Under straight line method depreciation remains constant for life of asset.

Book value at end of year 2 = $23,860 - ($5,365 \times 2) = $13,130

Thereafter in the beginning of year 3 the estimate is made to realize that the total remaining life expected is 3 years, with salvage value $2,000

Thus, depreciation from year 3 = \frac{13,130 - 2,000}{3} = 3,710

Therefore, depreciation from year 3 to year 5 = $3,710 each year.

Total depreciation of last 3 years = $3,710 \times 3 = $11,130
