Is overshooting (in theory and in practice) consistent with purchasing power parity? Consider the reasons for the usefulness of

PPP in the short run versus the long run and the assumption we’ve used in the asset approach (in the short run versus the long run). How does overshooting help to resolve the empirical behavior of exchange rates in the short run versus the long run?

Answer:

1. Yes, overshooting is consistent with PPP. Investors forecast the expected exchange rate based on the theory of PPP. When there is some change in the market, the investors know the exchange rate will change to equate relative prices in the long run. This is why we observe overshooting in the short run. The investors incorporate this information into their short-run forecasts.

2. Exchange rates are volatile in the short run. The theory's implication that there is exchange rate overshooting (in response to permanent shocks) is one explanation for short-run volatility in

exchange rates.

Screening Model. Assume that the following criteria relevant to the process of screening various project opportunities are weigh
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Project Alpha 81

Project Beta 81

Project Gamma 83

Project Delta 81

Among the four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented will

be Project Gamma .

Explanation:

Screening Model

1.Calculation for Project Alpha

Important Weight×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Quality 5 × 1 =5

Cost 3 ×7 =21

Speed 7 ×5 =35

Visibility 5 ×3= 15

Reliability 1× 5 =5

Total Score =81

2.Important Weight ×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for Project Beta

Quality 5 × 3 =15

Cost 3 ×7 =21

Speed 7× 5 =35

Visibility 5×1 =5

Reliability 1 ×5 =5

Total Score =81

3.Important Weight ×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for Project Gamma

Quality 5 ×3 =15

Cost 3 ×5 =15

Speed 7× 3= 21

Visibility 5×5 =25

Reliability 1×7 =7

Total Score=83

4.Important Weight ×Weight Score = Weighted Score

Calculation for project Delta

Quality 5 ×5 =25

Cost 3 ×3 =9

Speed 7× 5 =35

Visibility 5×1 =5

Reliability 1 ×7 =7

Total Score =81

Therefore among the four projects the most likely candidates to be implemented will

be Project Gamma because it has the highest

score with a score of 83.

Stanford owns and operates two dry cleaning businesses. He travels to Boston to discuss acquiring a restaurant. Later in the mon
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The answer is: $4,522

Explanation:

Since Stanford doesn't operate in the restaurant business and doesn't buy the restaurant, he cannot deduct any amount for investigation costs relating to the restaurant.

Stanford doesn't operate in the bakery business but he bought the bakery, so he can deduct up to $5,000 (before amortization) for investigation costs related to the bakery. But those $5,000 are reduced by every dollar he spent over $50,000, so he can only deduct $4,000 [= $5,000 - ($51,000 - $50,000)].

The remaining $47,000 (= $51,000 - $4,000) can be amortized over 180 months, which equals $261 per month (= $47,000 / 180 months).

Since he bought the restaurant in November, he can deduct two months: $261 per month x 2 months = $522

So his total deduction for investigation expenses is = $4,000 + $522 = $4,522
