Answer:
A. The demand of wheat and corn is basically inelastic and so increases in output drastically reduce price and income to the farmers.
Explanation:
Inelastic demand means the change in price does not affect the purchasers' buying power. The difference in price has relatively little effect on the quantity demanded. Since the demand for wheat is inelastic, price and income will reduce irrespective of increasing production. Therefore, harvesting massive production (wheat or corn) does not bring a high income.
Answer:
$82,400
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold = beginning merchandise inventory + purchases - ending merchandise inventory.
$69,200 = $15,600 + purchases - $28,800
Purchases = $82,400
Answer:
The highest net loss of $1,562.50 (i.e. – $1,562.50)
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following equation:
Highest net profit possible = British pounds put option price per unit × Units of the pound option
= $0.05 x 31,250
Highest net profit possible = $1,562.50
However, based on the information provided in the question, the option will not be exercised and this will result into the highest net loss of $1,562.50 (i.e. – $1,562.50).
From the problem statement it is clear that here we need to find out simple interest rate.
One do not get interest on any investment made at the end of tenure.
Putting this mathematically:
Let amount at the end of 5th year as A
Simple Interest for 5 years, SI = 750 *5
SI = 3750
Hence A = 10000 +3750
A= 13750
Let rate of return = R
Tenure t = 5
But,
A = P(1 + R*t/100)
13750 = 10000( 1+ R*5/100)
13750 = 10000 + 50000R/100
3750 = 500R
R = 3750/500
R = 7.5 %
Hence rate of return is 7.5% per annum (answer)
