Consider the following information on Mexico's trade. Thirty percent of the trade is conducted with country A, 55% of trade with

Answer:

15% depreciation

Explanation:

the increase/decrease in the effective trade-weighted real exchange rate = (change in the exchange rate with country A x trade weight of country A) + (change in the exchange rate with country B x trade weight of country B) + (change in the exchange rate with country C x trade weight of country C) = (35% x 10%) + (55% x -30%) + (15% x -10%) = 3.5% -16.5% -1.5% = -15% or 15% depreciation

Every time we need to calculate the weighted effect on anything, we must multiply the individual effects by the their specific weight, and then add all the individual results.

In this case, we are measuring the sum of the effects of different changes in the value of the Mexican peso against foreign currencies. In general, the Mexican peso appreciated against one currency but depreciated against two others, but  the overall effect is a 15% depreciation.

a boy is three years younger than his sister. two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age. what are their present ages ​
padilas [110]

Answer:

The boy: 8 years old

The sister: 11 years old

Explanation:

We assume that the age at present of the boy is x (years old).

As he is younger than his sister 3 years, so that his sister's present age is great than x 3 years

=> Her present age is: x + 3 (years old)

Two years ago, the boy is younger than present two years

=> The boy's age two years ago is: x - 2 (years old)

Similarly, the sister's age two years ago is: (x+3)-2 = x + 1 (years old)

As given, two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age, so that we have:

<em>The boy's age two years ago = </em>\frac{2}{3}<em> × the sister's age two years ago</em>

⇒ x - 2 = \frac{2}{3}(x+1)

⇒ x - 2 = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}

⇒ x - \frac{2}{3}x =  \frac{2}{3} + 2

⇒ \frac{1}{3} x = \frac{8}{3}

⇒ x = \frac{8}{3}. 3 = 8

=> x + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11

So the present age of the boy is 8 years old, of the sister is 11 years old

Anna [14]

Answer:

From the information provided

Federal rate tax of earnings = 30000 × 0.6%

= 180

State rate tax of earnings = 30000 × 5.4%

= 30000 × 0.054

Medicare taxes = 2625

Social security taxes = 10500

Total payroll tax expenses = Medicare taxes + social security taxes + state rate tax on earnings + federal rate tax on earnings

= 10500 + 2625 + 180 +1620

= $ 14925

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The amount of amortization expense each year is $500,000.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Patent original cost = $3,000,000

Salvage value after 5 years = $500,000

Number of years to use before selling it = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Annual amortization expense = (Patent original cost - Salvage value after 5 years) / Number of years to use before selling it = ($3,000,000 - $500,000) / 5 = $500,000

Therefore, the amount of amortization expense each year is $500,000.
