Answer:

d. Fall to $1.47

Explanation:

currently you will need $1,500 to purchase £1,000 and invest in British bonds. After 65 months you will have £1,040, which you should be able to convert into $1,544.40. If you invested in US bonds, you would have $1,530, so this arbitrage will yield $14.40.

But if instead the British pound fell to $1.47, then your profit would only be $28.80, less than if you invested in US bonds. You again would have £1,040 in 6 months, but that would only be equal to $1,528.80.

"The net present value of the investment, excluding the annual cash inflow, is −$403,414. To the nearest whole dollar how large
nadezda [96]

Answer: c. $81,202

Explanation:

The inflow will be annual and constant which makes it an annuity. Given the discount rate of 12% and a useful life of 8 years, the present value interest discount factor based on the table is = 4.968.

Option 1 present value

= 48,410 * 4.968

= $240,500.88‬

Option 2 present value

= 50,427 * 4.968

= $250,521.34

Option 3 present value

= 81,202 * 4.968

= $403,412

Option 3 is the closest option with the difference being down to rounding errors. The annual inflow would have to be $81,202 to make the investment in the equipment financially attractive.

Service products cannot generally be produced in ________or __________. Services are typically _________________________________
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Service products cannot generally be produced in advance or stored.

Services are typically variable, and in almost every service offering, the service cannot start until the customer arrives and actively participates.

Explanation:

Services have distinguishing characteristics that differentiate them  from goods.

To start with, services cannot be produced in advance as production and consumption happen at the same time.

Also,the customer must be present and actively contributes to the delivery of the service, for instance, haircut cannot happen except the customer comes to the salon and obeys the instructions of the barber as they go along.

Besides,there is no physical substance in service unlike purchase of goods.

Use this information about Department J to answer the question that follow. Department J had no work in process at the beginning
Aloiza [94]

Answer: $283,140

Explanation:

Total Cost = Materials cost + Conversion cost

Conversion cost per unit = (Direct labor + Factory overhead ) / Equivalent units of production

= (142,300 + 57,200)/ ( 18,000 + (2,000 * 30%))

=  199,500/ 18,600

= $10.73 per unit

Direct material cost is $5 per unit from the question.

Total cost of the 18,000 units;

= (18,000 * 5) + (18,000 * 10.73)

= $283,140
