Answer:

A. $3

B. $257.142

C. $2.25

Explanation:

A. In 1925, the CPI was 18 and the price of a movie ticket was $0.30.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{0.3}{18}\ \times\ 180

= $3

B. In 1930, the CPI was 14 and a cook earned $20 a week.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{20}{14}\ \times\ 180

= $257.142

C.  In 1940, the CPI was 16 and a gallon of gas cost $0.20.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{0.2}{16}\ \times\ 180

= $2.25

frez [133]

Answer:

d. $96,914

Explanation:

Parker Co. can execute money market hedge in following steps:

(1) Parker Co. pledges Receivable of SF200,000 to borrow SF190,476 with rate 5% in Switzerland; SF190,476 = SF200,000/ (1+5%)

so it has to pay interest expense of SF9,524 in 360 days. The receivable of SF200,000 is enough for both principal and interest in 360 days.

(2) Then it sells SF190,476 at spot rate $0.48 to get $91,428

(3) Then it deposits $91,428 in US with rate 6% to get back $96,914 in 360 days ; $96,914 = $91,428 * (1+6%)

For a sale, the original retail price of a particular shirt and the original retail price of a particular hat were both reduced
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Discount = original price × discount fraction

Discounted price = original price - discount

Discount fraction = 20%

= 20/100

A.

Original price of shirt = $x

Original price of hat = $(x + 10)

Discounted price of shirt = $x - $0.2x

= $0.8x

Discounted price of hat = $(x + 10)

- 0.2$(x + 10)

= $0.8 × (x + 10)

Difference of discounted price of hat to shirt = 0.8(x + 10) - 0.8x

= $8

B.

Original price of shirt = $x

Original price of hat = $ 1.5 × x

Discounted price of shirt = $x - $0.2x

= $0.8x

Discounted price of hat = $ 1.5 × x

- 0.2 × $ 1.5 × x

= $ 1.2x

Difference of discounted price of hat to shirt = 1.2x - 0.8x

= $ 0.4x
