Answer:
Australia has purchasing-power parity with the U.S.
Explanation:
A basket of goods costs $800 in the US. The same basket costs 1,000 euros in France and 960 Australian dollars in Australia.
The nominal exchange rate for euros is .80 euros per U.S. dollar and for Australian dollars, it is 1.2 Australian dollars per U.S. dollar.
The purchasing power parity theory compares the currency of two countries through a basket of goods. The currency of the two countries is in equilibrium or is at par if a basket of goods cost the same in both the countries.
This method compares the economic productivity and standard of living in two countries.
Converting the value of basket in France into US dollars,
= 
= $1,250
Converting the value of basket in Australia into US dollars,
= 
= $800
The cost of the basket of goods is same in Australia. This indicates that Australia has purchasing-power parity with the U.S.

Explanation:
a. A 5% stock dividend is declared and distributed when the market per share was $39.
Common stock par value($10) 500,000
Retained earning = 50,000 × 5% × 39
= $97,500
Common stock dividend distributed
50,000 × 5% × $10
= $25,000

Answer: 15000; 3750
Explanation:
From the question,
Q = 660 – 12P
MC = 5
The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market will be:
P = MC
Therefore, P = 5
Q = 660 - 12P = 660 - 12(5) = 660 - 60 = 600
Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 5) (600)
= 1/2 × 50 × 600
= 15,000
For monopoly, MR = MC
Total Revenue = P × Q
Since Q= 660 - 12P
P = (660 - Q)/12
TR = P × Q
= (660 - Q)/12 × Q
= (660Q- Q²)/12 × Q
MR = (660 - 2Q)/12
MR = MC
(660 - 2Q)/12 = 5
(660 - 2Q) = 5 × 12
660 - 2Q = 60
2Q = 660 - 60
2Q = 600
Q = 600/2
Q= 300
Since P =(660 - Q)/12
= (660 - 300)/12
= 360/12
= 30
Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 30) (30)
= 1/2 × 25 × 300
= 3750
Therefore, the answer is 15000; 3750

Answer:
The answer is 17.67 years.
Explanation:
Present value is $2,500
Future value of the money to be double of the present value. This means the future value will be $5,000($2,500 x 2)
Interest rate is 4%
Number of years or periods to reach this $5,000 is unknown. So we are looking for this.
To compute this number of periods, lets use Financial calculator.
I/Y = 4; PV= -2,500; FV= 5,000; CPT N= 17.67 years.
Therefore, the number of years to accumulate to $5,000 is 17.67 years
