The answer is in each term's definition. bonds are less risky no matter what the quality. Stocks may earn bigger profits, but more of a gamble.

wariber [46]

If for every $10 increase sales drop by 3 units when you increase to $300 you will lose 30 units.

($10)(10) = 100
(10)(3) = 30

60 units - 30 units = 30 units.
($300)(30) = $9,000 is your weekly revenue at a price of $300 per unit.

During which period does the fed appear to be most anti-inflation? explain your answer

Tomtit [17]

In most of the 1970 period, the fed appear to be most anti-inflation. The United States has been experiencing a pattern of rising prices since the late 1960s.

Inflation refers to an overall rise in the cost of goods and services throughout a nation. Inflation in United States started gradually increasing from yearly rates that had previously been less than 2 percent for several years.

The Federal Reserve tightened policy in 1973 in response to rising inflation rates. However, the Fed loosened its stance before adequately controlling inflation in response to increased unemployment. In December 1976, the annual inflation rate reached a low of 5% before rising once more.

According to the personal consumption expenditure index, prices had increased 7.7% from the previous year by January 1979, raising concerns that inflation would continue to climb. Concern was also raised regarding the US currency, which had declined 13% in value versus.

Alik [6]

Answer:

E. $25,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

The labor efficiency variance shall be calculated using the following formulas:

Labor efficiency variance=((Standard labor hours used to make the actual production )- (Actual labor hours used to make the actual production))* standard rate per hour

Standard labor hours used to make the actual production=15,000

Actual labor hours used to make the actual production=17,500

standard rate per hour=$10 per hour

Labour efficiency variance=(15,000-17,500)*10

=25,000 unfavourable

So based on the above discussion, the answer shall be E. $25,000 unfavorable

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Investing today is a better option because it has a better NPV of $2.3398 million

Explanation:

Given data :

For Today's Investment

Initial capital investment = $4 million

positive cash flow = $2 million

period of cash flow = 4 years

project cost of capital = 10%

To get the value of This option we have to determine the NPV of this option

NPV = PMT * $[\frac{1-(1+r)^-4}{r} ] - initial cash flow$ ----------- (1)

PMT = $2 million

r = 10%

initial cash flow = $4 million

Equation 1 becomes

NPV = (2 * 3.1699 ) - 4

= $6.3398 - $4 = $2.3398 million

For later investment ( 2 years )

initial capital investment = $5 million

90% chance of positive cash flow = $2.1 million

10% chance of positive cash flow = $1.1 million

project cost of capital = 10%

NPV value for a cash flow of $1.1 million

NPV = PMT * $[\frac{1-(1+r)^-4}{r} ] - initial cash flow$

PMT = $1.1 million

initial cash flow = $5 million

r = 10%

Hence NPV = ($1.1 * 3.1699 ) - $5 million

= $3.48689 - $5 million

= - $1.51311

therefore the present NPV = - $1.51311 / 1.21 = -$1.25 million ( therefore no investment will be made )

NPV value for a cash flow of $2.1 million

NPV = PMT * $[\frac{1-(1+r)^-4}{r} ] - initial cash flow$

PMT = $2.1 million

initial cash flow = $5 million

r = 10%

hence NPV = ($2.1 * 3.1699 ) - $5 million

= $6.65679 - $5

= $1.65679

therefore the present NPV = $ 1.65679 / 1.21 = $1.369 million

The Expected NPV value of later investment ( after 2 years )

= $0 * 10% + $1.369 * 90%

= $1.2321 million
