Answer:

The graph has been attached.

Explanation:

a. Please see attached graph with the shaded budget set labelled A

b. Please see attached. Curve C; D and E are the indifference curves. The most suitable one would be D since it is on the budget curve. E is not maximum utility and C is unattainable given his budget of $20.

c.  U (X,Y) = X + 2Y

At C, Utility = 10 + 2(10) = $30. That is above his budget

At D, Utility = 10 + 2(5) = $20. This is within his budget. – most utility.

At E, Utility = 5 + 2(5) = $15. This is below his budget.  

The Indifference curve that gives most utility is D, where cheese is 10 and cocoa is 5 units.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

59% - a)increase - b)decrease

Explanation:

First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.

Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).

Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).

With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

Explanation:

Horizontal analysis of a balance sheet shows changes in individual assets, liability, and equity items over time.

Horizontal analysis of an income statement compares the amount of each item on a current income statement with the same item on an earlier income statement.

Horizontal analysis is used in financial statement analysis to compare historical data, such as ratios, or line items, over a number of accounting periods. Horizontal analysis can either use absolute comparisons or percentage comparisons, where the numbers in each succeeding period are expressed as a percentage of the amount in the baseline year, within the baseline amount being listed as 100%.
