Answer:
$29,850
Explanation:
The computation of the increase in net operating income is shown below:
= Increase in sales - increase in variable expenses - advertising cost
where,
Increase in sales = $89,000
Increase in variable expenses is
= $89,000 × 35%
= $31,150
And, the advertising cost is $28,000
So, the increase in operating income is
= $89,000 - $31,150 - $28,000
= $29,850
Answer:
55 legal pads.
Explanation:
The level at which Blackmon Brothers should order more legal pads is the re-order point.
The calculate re-order point, we require
Average daily usage
Delivery lead time
Safety stock is needed.
For Blackmon, Average daily usage will be 165 divided by 15 days
=165/15
=11 legal pads per day.
Lead time is 3 days
Formula for getting the re-order point
= (average daily usage x delivery time) + requires safety stock
For Black man
= (11 x 3)+ (11 x 2)
=33 + 22
=55 legal pads.
They should re-order when they have a balance of 55 legal pads.
Answer: D. I, II, and III.
Explanation:
The demand for investment funds determines the demand for loanable funds and when this is higher than the supply, the rate increases. The reverse it true. It therefore affects real interest rates.
The savings of households and business firms are the source of loanable funds so if these are high relative to demand, the rate will decrease. The reverse is true.
Government demand for funds will increase interest rates as the supply will decrease when the government borrows massively. The reverse is true.
All three therefore impart real interest rates.
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.
An import tariff would increase the price of certain foreign-made goods.
