Answer:

The maximum rate is 5.65%.

Explanation:

The break-even 30-day repo rate is the rate at which an investor can make zero profit by carrying the following described trading:

Initially raise 30-day repo at x rate; invest in 90-day bill at 5.30%;

As the 30-day repo is matured, raise fund from 60-day bill at 5.10% to repay the 30-day repo;

Then as the 60-day bill matures, use the proceed from 90-day bill to repay the amount.

In other word, we have the below calculation to illustrate the trading:

Amount repay to 02 fund raising ( through 30-day repo and 60-day bill) = Amount receipt from 90-day bill investment

[1 + x*30/365] x [ 1 +  5.1% *60/365 ] = 1 + 5.30% * 90/365

<=> 1 + x*30/365 = 1.004646 <=> x = 5.65%.

Doss [256]
Based on legalities, Thomas has the right to refuse payment of the 8% commission to RE/MAX because he already stated his refusal during the meeting with Darragh nor did he sign the document that Darragh gave him during the meeting. Thus, there was no meeting of minds. 

Darragh is entitled to be given a reimbursement for his expenses incurred in securing documents that he willingly gave to Thomas. He can also ask Thomas for a recompensation for his labors but it will be according to Thomas's discretion. 

Darragh can't claim that he worked on implied consent from Thomas because Thomas specifically stated his refusal in paying for the 8% commission during their meeting but Darragh did not stop to renegotiate the commission nor convince Thomas to accept the contract.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever
Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

2. Weighted average method: Weighted cost is measured by considering the total revenue and total purchase

3. Last-in-first-out: Contrary to the first-in-first-out process, the first sale of new goods, then selling of old goods.

4. Base stock: The process by which the orders of the consumer are fulfilled by holding the less inventory

In the FIFO method, the highest ended inventory results in the lower cost of goods sold at the highest net profits.
