The answer that best fits the blank is GOLD BULLION COINS. In order for you to avoid problems regarding storage, it would be best to invest in this kind of kinds. Typically, brokers would require at least 10 coins plus a 2% commission fee. Since it is gold and gold is considered to be one of the metals with a very high value, this would also mean that these coins also take the value of gold in the market.

pychu [463]

Answer:

0.7156 USD/CAD

Explanation:

Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:

S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)

==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period

==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period

==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country

==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.

Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country

I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%

I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%

On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:

S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)

S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996

S(1) = 0.764*0.936635

S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD

If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD

Consider the Northern California territory of Nova generates a sales revenue of $320,000 with four salespeople. The territory ac

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: e)5% and $80,000

Explanation:

$320,000 was generated by the salespeople in this territory.

This territory comprises 10% of a $64 million market.

Territory comprises of = 10% * 64,000,000 = $6,400,000

Their market share is therefore;

= $\frac{320,000}{6,400,000}$ * 100%

= 5%

Four people made sales of $320,000.

Their productivity = $\frac{320,000}{4}$

= $80,000

b) $50,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

ALTERNATIVE FIXED COST VARIABLE COST

Special-Purpose Equipment $200,000 per year $15 per unit

General-Purpose Equipment $50,000 per year $20 per unit

Total Cost of Production for 40,000 units under the two alternatives:

ALTERNATIVE FIXED COST VARIABLE COST TOTAL COSTS

Special-Purpose $200,000 $600,000 ($15*40,000) $800,000

General-Purpose $50,000 $800,000 ($20*40,000) $850,000

b) The difference between the two alternatives in total costs is $50,000 ($850,000 - $800,000) with the low-cost alternative as the Special-Purpose Equipment.

CrochetCo is considering an investment in a project which would require an initial outlay of $350,000 and produce expected cash

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Ans. A) NPV= -$9306

Explanation:

Hi, the first thing we need to do is to find the after-tax cost of the firm's capital, and since all capital sources are expressed in terms of after-tax percentage, we just multiply each proportion of capital by its costs, I mean

Long term Debt (7%) * 25% +Preffered Stock(11%)*15% + Common Stock(15%)*60%

The answer to this is 12.40%.

Now, we can find the net present value of this project by using the following formula.

$NPV=-InitialOutlay+\frac{CashFlow((1+Cost of Capital)^{n} -1)}{Cost of Capital(1+Cost of Capital)^{n}}$

$NPV=-350,000+\frac{95,450((1+0.124)^{5} -1)}{0.124(1+0.124)^{5}} =-9,306.5$

Since the expected cash flow takes place 5 times form year 1 to 5, and is equal to $95,450, "n" is equals to 5 and "CashFlow" is equal to $95,450.

Therefore, the NPV of this project is -$9,306, which is answer A)

Best of luck.

The incomes of all families in a particular suburb can be represented by a continuous random variable. It is known that the medi

liberstina [14]

Answer:

a) 0.10 or 10%

b) 0.5417 or 54.17%

Explanation:

a) The median income of $60,000 is at the 50th percentile of the distribution. If 40% if incomes are above $72,000, then an income of $72,000 is at the 60th percentile of the distribution. Therefore, the probability that a family's income will be between $60,000 and $72,000 is:

$P( \$60,000 \leq X \leq \$72,000)=0.6-0.5\\P( \$60,000 \leq X \leq \$72,000)=0.1 = 10\%$

b) If the distribution is known to be uniform, the probability that a random chosen family has an income below $65,000 is:

$P( X \leq \$65,000)=0.5+\frac{65,000-60,000}{72,000-60,000}*0.1\\ P( X \leq \$65,000)=0.5417 =54.17\%$
