Answer:

Read the explanation below.

Explanation:

A. Luxury yatch: Not a lot of people buy Yactchs, but a lot of businesses are capable of making them. So more or less the buyer is in position to dictate terms. And asking the buyer to open a letter of credit may result in the loss of sale.

But to protect against the risk of losing payment, the seller can opt for export credit insurance. Here on advantage of export credit insurance is the exporter is more likely to make the sale in a competitive market such as this. If there is a default, the insurance should cushion the blow. However, Canada and California are not known for opaque or radically different legal systems, are not far away, and do not have linguistic or other barriers. In the event of default, the yatch is likely to be returned.

b. Machine tools. Again, one advantage is that the new yorker exporter is more likely to make the sale. The exporter's position however is strong due to the fact not lot of people make machine tools as the are hard to make and have a higher fixed costs.

Thus, letter credit is the most viable option in this case.

Two 1000 dollar face value bonds are both redeemable at par, with the first having a redemption date 3 years prior to the redemp
finlep [7]

Answer:

$ 915.71  

Explanation:

In order to determine the second bond price we need to determine the number of years to maturity of the first bond using nper formula in excel.

=nper(rate,pmt.-pv,fv)

rate is the semiannual interest rate of 6% (12%*6/12)

pmt is the semiannual interest=$1000*8.3%*6/12=$41.50  

pv is the current price at $813.04

fv is the face value of $1000

=nper(6%,41.50,-813.04,1000)= 16.00  

The years to maturity=16/2=8 years

The years to maturity of second bond=8+3=11 years

price of second bond=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 6%

nper is 11 years multiplied by 2= 22

pmt =5.3%*$1000=$53

fv is $1000

=-pv(6%,22,53,1000)=$915.71

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The answer is "22 and 80"

Explanation:

The important part is to understand how the Venn diagram can assist you with your numbers.

You cannot draw this one, and you can create one as follows:

the 3 sorts of funding, then make your way back thru the list

this is the figure in the center - "22 had all 3 funds"

where the four dimensions meet. In the next three statements, you'll be able to:

Work out where 2 circles connect (remember all 22 of those circles are connected).

That's because the numerals have been already placed throughout the center zone.

bond & money market solenoid valves at a ratio of 36-22=14

36-22=14 as to where the corporate market and the term deposit intersect

47-22=25 as to where equities and bonds connect You can use the top 3 statements to work out all the values in a table.

(Set of) just one circle (circle)

for stock the number is 141-(22+14+25)=80

for the bond, the number is91-(22+14+25)=30

for the money market, the number is 60-(22+14+14)=10

(universal set) Lastly, get the number that goes into the rectangle.

\to 200-(80+30+10+25+14+14+22)=5

a) 22\\b) 80

Consumption spending is $4.5 billion, gross private domestic investment is $3 billion, and government expenditures are $2 billio
masha68 [24]

Answer:

exports are $15 billion, and imports are $10.5 billion

Explanation:

GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP = Consumption + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export

14 billion = 4.5 billion + $3 billion + $2 billion + Net Export

Net Export = $4.5 billion

Net Export = export - import

Net Export is positive so it indicates that exports is greater than imports.

Going through the options, it is only option d that is equal to 4.5 and the export is greater than the import.

I hope my answer helps you
