a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.

Explanation:

We can see in the example that the Euro is cheaper than the dollar in purchasing-power parity. More specifically, the exchange rate is .938 euros per dollar.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

D) An illusory promise

Explanation:

An illusory promise is not enforceable. Illusory promises are simply illusions that seem or appear to a contract, but are not.

In this case, there is no consideration at all, therefore none of the parties is bound by a contract. It would be different if the company promised to pay a bonus if its profits are xx%. How can someone determine what is considered high profits, and how can you be sure that management will agree?

It is basically like telling someone else that you will give them something if you are happy and willing to do it. How can someone determine if you are happy or not, and how can someone know if you are willing to do it or not?

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

<u>First method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV1 = $15,000 + $32,500/(1+0.06)^n

<u>Second method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV2 = $23,000 + $23,000/(1+0.06)^n

After n years both projects will be economically equal. Hence their present value must be equal PV1 = PV2

$15,000 + $32,500/(1.06)^n = $23,000 + $23,000/(1.06)^n

$23,000 - $15,000 = $32,500/(1.06)^n - $23,000/(1.06)^n

$8,000 = $9,500/(1.06)^n

(1.06)^n = $9,500/$8,000

(1.06)^n = 1.1875

Taking log on both sides we get:

nlog1.06 = log 1.1875

n = log 1.1875/log 1.06

n = 0.07463361829/0.02530586526

n = 2.94926166417121

n = 3

So, the answer is 3 years
