Answer:
A farmer is the one that owns the cattle and is ready to sell it on the market demand, while the meatpacker is the one who buys the product and sells it in different parts to the end consumers.
Since they both are using the commodity market to reduce the risk, the farmer will be the one who agrees to sell the cattle in the future at a fixed rate, while the meatpacker will be the one who agrees to buy the cattle in the future at a specified price fixed by him.
Hope this helps. ThankYou.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
90 are retired or homemakers; 60 have full-time employment; 20 have part-time employment; 20 do not have employment, but are actively looking for employment; and 10 would like employment but do not have employment and are not actively looking for employment.
Total labor force= 60 + 20 + 20= 100
Unemployed= 20
Unemployment rate= (20/100)*100= 20%
Answer:
An optional Call
Explanation:
Callable Bond
Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.
Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.
For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.
Optional Call
In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.
Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.
Answer:
The correct answer is D: $10,329
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You want to have the equivalent of $700,000 (in terms of today's spending power) when you retire in 30 years. Assume a 3% rate of annual inflation. The interest rate is 10% annual.
First, we need to determine how much is $700,000 in 30 years.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 700000*(1.03^30)= $1,699,083.73
Now, we can calculate the annual payment required using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,699,083.73* 0.10)/[(1.10^30)-1]= $10329
Answer:
The answer is: 2500 employees
Explanation:
Giving the following information we need to calculate the number of employees:
Total production= 60000
Hours per worker= 160 hours
labor productivity= 0,15
It takes to a single employee= 1/0,15= 6,67 hours to make a heater.
Each worker produces=160/6,67=24 heaters a year.
Now we can calculate the number of workers:
60000/24= 2500 employees
