Answer:

$0.008891/Yen

Explanation:

The computation of arbitrage free rate is shown below:-

Fair forward rate = Spot rate × (1 + Interest rate US) ÷ (1 + Interest Rate Japan)

= 0.008828 × (1 + 5.25%) ÷ (1 + 4.5%)

= $0.00889135885/Yen

or

= $0.008891/Yen

Therefore for computing the arbitrage free rate we simply applied the above formula.

rewona [7]

Answer:

$205,000

Explanation:

Let us assume Owners' equity at the beginning be X

So, the Increase in Owners' equity is $260,000 - X

Total Increase in Assets = Total Increase in Liabilities + Increase in Owners' equity

$134,000 = $79,000 + $260,000 - X

$134,000 = $339,000 - X

So, the X =

= $339,000 - $134,000

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price ine
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.

Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.
