Answer:

The exchange rate implies in exchange rate of $1.75 but current market exchange rate is $1.80 which means that the dollar is undervalued and pound is over valued in the market.

We will buy Dollar in the market and use these dollars to buy gold and then sell this gold in Euros

E.G Buy a $1000 from the market for £555(10,000*1/1.8)

After that we can by 28.5(1000/35) ounces of gold from that and sell the gold for £571(20*28.5). This way we make a profit of £16 (571-555) without taking any risk.

Virty [35]

Answer: 21.32 per hour

Explanation:

Guitars produced each month = 100

considered good enough to sell = 82%

Remaining are scrapped = 18 %

Selling price of each guitar = $260

Each guitar requires = 10 labor hours

Each employee works an average = 160 hours per month

Labor is paid = ​$11 per​ hour

materials cost = ​$40 per​ guitar

overhead = $4,200

Therefore,

Number of guitars are good enough to sell = 82% of 100

                                                                   = 82 guitars

Value of output = Number of guitars sell × Selling price of each guitar

                        = 82 × $260

                        = $21,320

Input in labor hours = Guitars produced each month × Labor hour employed in each guitar

                               = 100 × 10

                               = 1,000 hours

Labor productivity =\frac{output}{input}

                                =  \frac{21,320}{1,000}

                                = 21.32 per hour
