Answer:

The pre-devaluation cost is ($880) and the pst-devaluation trade balance is ($1398)

Explanation:

Assumptions Values

Initial spot exchange rate, $/fc $2.00

Price of exports, dollars ($) * 20.0000

Price of imports, foreign currency (fc) * 12.0000

Quantity of exports, units * 100

Quantity of imports, units * 120

Percentage devaluation of the dollar 18.00%

Price elasticity of demand, imports * (0.900)

a. The pre-devaluation trade balance--

Revenues from exports, $ $2,000

Expenditures on imports, fc * 1,440

Expenditures on imports, $ $2,880

Pre-devaluation trade balance ($880)

b. Resulting trade balance immediately after devaluation

Revenues from exports, $ $2,000

Expenditures on imports, fc * 1,440

New spot exchange rate, after devaluation $2.36

Expenditures on imports, $ $3,398

Post-devaluation trade balance (currency contract period) ($1,398)

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$5,641

Explanation:

DEPOSIT NOW  

$1000 * FVIF 9%,8 PERIODS

= $1000 * 1.9926

= $1992.6

IN 2 YEARS

= $2000 * FVIF 9%,6 PERIODS

= $2000 * 1.6771

= $3354.20

IN 5 YEARS

= $8000 * FVIF 9%, 3 PERIODS

= $8000*1.2950

= $10360

WITHDRAWAL: IN 3 YEARS

= ($3000) * FVIF 9%, 5 PERIODS

= ($3000) * 1.5386

= ($4615.80)

IN 7 YEARS

= ($5000) * FVIF 9%, 1 PERIOD

= ($5000) * 1.0900

= ($5450)

Total value = $1992.6  + $3354.20 + $10360  - $4615.80 - $5450

Total value = $5,641

So, the total future value after eight years is $5,641

Opportunity cost simply means the loss incurred on a certain option when the alternative opruoonos chosen.

The opportunity cost of increasing shoe production from 10,000 to 20,000 pairs

The value of 20,000 (x axis) on the y axis is about 3750

Value of point A in the y - axis = 4000

Hence opportunity cost = (4000 - 3750) = 250 bicycles

B.)

The opportunity cost of increasing shoe production from 50,000 to 60,000 pairs

The value of 60,000 (x axis) on the y axis is about 0

Outsourcing is __________. ANSWER Unselected making a high-level, often strategic, decision regarding which products or services
larisa [96]

Answer:

the use of supply chain partners to provide products or services.

Explanation:

In Business management, outsourcing can be defined as a process which involves an agreement between two companies that allows for the provision of services or job functions by another.

When a company is outsourced, it engages the service of another company (third-party) to perform some of its duties rather than the use of an in-house department or employees to handle them. The outsourcing firm is saddled with the responsibility of physically distributing the goods or services of the outsourced company.

Hence, outsourcing refers to the use of supply chain partners to provide products or services.
