Answer:

Future rate(AUD/USD) = 1.0958

Consider the following formula to calculate the future rate

Future rate=Spot rate*((1+Quoted currency Inflation rate)/(1+Base currency Inflation rate))^time

Future rate=1.1024*((1+0.028)/(1+0.034))^1

Future rate(AUD/USD) = 1.0958

Silky Inc., which sells custom silk ties designed by famous people, faces a demand curve of Q = 150 – 0.2P, where Q is measured
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The production level that maximizes Silky's profit is 5000 ties.

Explanation:

Hi

First of all, as we have Q(P)=150-0.2P, we need to transcript it as price in function of the quantity so

P(Q)=\frac{150-Q}{0.2}=750-5Q

Then we need to find income function that is I(Q)=Q*P(Q)=750Q-5Q^{2}.  After derivate it I'(Q)=750-10Q.

The optimum level is when we have MC=I'(Q), therefore,

5Q=750-10Q, as we clear it for Q we find that

Q=\frac{750}{15}=50, finally as we have that Q is measured in hundreds of ties, the production level that maximizes Silky's profit is 5000 ties.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1) $0.27 per loaf of bread

2) $0.28 per loaf of bread

3) 3.7%

Explanation:

current production = 1,800 loaves per month

current labor expense = $8 per hour

constant utility cost = $800

ingredients per loaf = $0.40

multi-factor productivity = total output / (labor + materials + overhead)

current multi-factor productivity = 1,800 loaves / ($5,120 + $800 + $720) = $0.27 per loaf of bread

new output level = 1,800 x 1.35 = 2,430 loaves

new multi-factor productivity = 2,430 loaves / ($6,912 + $800 + $972) = $0.28 per loaf of bread

% increase = ($0.28 - $0.27) / $0.27 = 3.7%

The higher the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm is, the: A. Higher is the number of outstanding shares of stock.
horsena [70]

Answer:

Option B,

The higher the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm, THE HIGHER THE PROBABILITY THAT THE FIRM WILL ENCOUNTER FINANCIAL DISTRESS.

Explanation:

The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is a leverage ratio that measures the sensitivity of a company's earnings per share to fluctuations in it's operating income, as a result of changes in its capital structure.

This ratio indicates that the higher the degree of financial leverage, the more volatile earnings will be.

The use of financial leverage varies greatly by industry and by the business sector. There are many industry sectors in which companies operate with a high degree of financial leverage (examples are retail stores, grocery store, banking institutions, airlines...). Unfortunately, the excessive use of financial leverage by many companies in this sector has played a major role in forcing a lot of them to file for bankruptcy.

Therefore, if the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm is high, then the probability that the firm will encounter financial distress will also be high.
