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.
Answer: 6250
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Santiago company incurs annual fixed costs of $66,000. variable costs for santiago's product are $34 per unit, and the sales price is $50 per unit. santiago desires to earn an annual profit of $34,000.
The contribution margin ratio approach to determine the sales volume in dollars and units required to earn the desired profit for thus:
Contribution margin ratio = (Sales price - Variable cost)/Sales price
= (50-34)/50
= 16/50
= 0.32
Sales = (66,000 + 34,000)/0.32
= 100,000/0.32
= 312,500
Sales volume in units will be sales divided by price. This will be:
= 312,500/50
= 6250
Answer:
a. Counterclaim
Explanation:
Counterclaim is a claim by a defendant (the person be sued) against the plaintiff (the person who sues first).
Lyn is the plaintiff, who first sued Karl (the defendant). Karl's claim against the original plaintiff (Lyn) is an example of a counterclaim.
Another example is counterclaim by the city of Sandy Springs against Holder Construction Group, the company that built the city of Sandy Springs’ new City Springs complex.
Holder Construction Group earlier sued Sandy Springs city over disagreements on payments for the work.
The city filed a counterclaim to a superior Court, claiming that Holder Group should be denied payments until all work is done and for breach of contract, negligent construction and fraud.

True

Richard De George is known for his work in business ethics. He discussed the conditions to permit whistle-blowing.
According to De George, whistle-blowing is permitted as moral authority when these 3 conditions are met:
1) The harm that will be done by the product [or company action] to the public is severe and considerable.
2) The engineer has told their superiors about their concern
3) The engineer has not received a satisfactory answer from their supervisors and also from other superiors and he is left with no other alternatives.
According to De George, whistle-blowing is mandatory as moral duty when these 2 additional conditions are met:
4) The engineer must have documented evidence that would convince a reasonable observer that his or her view is correct
5) There must be strong evidence that making the information public will in fact prevent the threaten serious harm.
