Answer:

d. Private sector through the earning and spending of income.

Explanation:

In economics some major questions producers ask is for whom is production done, and how are output distributed in the economy.

For example ski equipment are produced for those people that practice skiing either as a sport or as a hobby. The particular set of people that use this product is targeted and provided with these goods.

Therefore these questions are answered in the private sector when the consumer earns income and spends it on their needs.

Suppose we have a 2-person world, with only Stephen and his friend LeBron. Suppose that Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 coo
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (28 ÷ 70)

                                                         = 0.4 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (70 ÷ 28)

                                                         = 2.5 boxes

LeBron could move 24 boxes or bake 6 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (6 ÷ 24)

                                                         = 0.25 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (24 ÷ 6)

                                                             = 4 boxes

Yes, trade is possible.

Stephen has a comparative advantage in baking cookies because of the lower opportunity cost than LeBron, so he is specialized in baking cookies.

On the other hand, LeBron has a comparative advantage in moving boxes because of the lower opportunity cost than Stephen, so he is specialized in moving boxes.

Knowledge Check 01 Zeta Corporation issues $100,000 of 8% bonds maturing in 10 years on January 1, Year 1, when the market rate
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$106,595

Explanation:

Given:

Initial market rate = 9%

Dropped market interest rate, r = 7% per year

or

= 7% × [6 ÷ 12]

= 3.5% = 0.035

Remaining time, n = 9 years = 18 semi annual periods

Now,

Value of the bond at the retirement

= [ PVAF × Interest payment] + [ PVF × face value]

here,

Present value of annuity factor, PVAF = \frac{1 -(1+r) ^{-n}}{r}

or

PVAF = \frac{1 -(1+0.035) ^{-18}}{0.035}

or

PVAF = 13.189

And,

Interest payment = $100,000 × 8% × [6 ÷ 12 ]              [since, 8% bonds]

= $4000

Present value factor = \frac{1}{1.035^{18}}

= 0.538

par value = $100,000

= [13.189 × $40] + [0.538 × 100,000]

= 52,758.7316 + 53,836.114

= $106,595

Hence,

The correct answer is option $106,595

You wish to retire in 20 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $24,000
den301095 [7]

Answer:

$3,286.52

Explanation:

Interest rate per annum = 12.00%

Number of years = 25

Number of compounding per per annum = 1

Interest rate per period (r) = 12.00%

Number of periods (n) = 25

Payment per period (P) = $24,000

PV of $24,000 payments after 20 years = P * [1 - (1/(1+r)^n)]/ r

PV of $24,000 payments after 20 years = 24000*[1-(1/(1+12%)^25]/12%

PV of $24,000 payments after 20 years = $188,235.34

Interest rate per annum = 10.00%

Number of years= 20

Number of payments per per annum = 1

Interest rate per period (r) = 10.00%

Number of periods (n) = 20

Future value of annuity (FVA) = $188,235

Annual contribution (P) = FVA/ ([ (1+r)^n - 1] / r)

Annual contribution (P) = 188235/(((1+10%)^20-1)/10%)

Annual contribution (P) = $3,286.52

The common stock of Shaky Building Supply has a beta that is 22 percent greater than the overall market beta. Currently, the mar
Bess [88]

Answer:

11.7%

Explanation:

The common stock of a shaky building has a beta of 22%

The market risk premium is 9.56%

The US treasury bill is 3.3 %

Therefore the cost of equity can be calculated as follows

= 3.3/100 + (1+22/100)(9.56)

= 0.033 + (1+0.22)(9.56)

= 0.033 + 1.22×9.56

= 0.033 + 11.6632

= 11.7%

Cray Research sold a super computer to the Max Planck Institute in Germany on credit and invoiced €10 million payable insix mont
Reil [10]

Answer:

a) The expected loss from the forward hedging = $432,900

b) No I wouldn’t recommend hedging the euro receivable based on the fact that the future spot rate is better off than the forward exchange rate.  

c) No I wouldn’t because in any case whether you hedge or not there will be no difference.

Explanation:

Solution.

Forward Exchange Rate = $1.10/€, therefore the equivalent of €10 million receivable from Germany in 6-month time = €10 million / Forward exchange rate ($1.10) = $9,090,909

However, the 6 months spot rate is $1.05/€, therefore if we simply wait till 6 months we will receive €10 million / Forward spot rate ($1.05) = $9,523,809.

a) The expected loss from the forward hedging = $9,523,809 - $9,523,809 = $432,900

b) No I wouldn’t recommend hedging the euro receivable based on the fact that the future spot rate is better off than the forward exchange rate.  

c) No I wouldn’t because in any case whether you hedge or not there will be no difference. You’ll just end up paying hedging fees which will impact on profits adversely.  

However it is always advisable to hedge foreign exchange risks because predictions could differ from reality and adverse movements in exchange rates could carry significant financial consequences which may not be comparable to the hedging costs.
