Answer:
$3,168
Explanation:
We will receive $4000 in future (after 4 years time) which means all we want to know is the amount that we Derek must deposit today.
This present value of the $4000 payment received after 4 years from today can be calculated using the following formula:
Present value = Future Value / (1 + r)^n
Here
Future Value is $4000
r is 6%
n is 4 years
So by putting values, we have:
Present value = $4000 / (1 + 6%)^4 Years
Present value = $3,168
Answer:
C) The theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
The theory of Comparative Advantage is a theory of international trade and it comes into effect in a situation where the <u>opportunity cost of producing a good or offering by a service by a country is lower than that of other countries. </u>
Specifically, to understand the theory of comparative advantage the opportunity cost of production or offering a service has to be measured in terms of the trade off between those countries. It simply means when a country has the comparative advantage then it derives more benefits from other countries buying its products as compared to buying their products and vice versa.
In the question, the European Union has the Comparative advantage over South Africa because the trade-off between buying South Africa's edible fruits and nuts and selling other products to South Africa benefits the European countries.
European countries derive more benefits because South Africa buys their goods at a cost higher than it takes them to produce while they buy at the normal cost from South Africa. The <u>trade-off benefits Europe </u>
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
You invest equal amounts in a portfolio yielding 16% and a risk-free asset yielding 4%.
The expected return will be a weighted average of these two;
= (Weight of the Portfolio * Portfolio return) + (Weight of the Portfolio * risk-free rate)
= (0.5 * 16%) + (0.5 * 4%)
= 8% + 2%
= 10%
Answer:
Contribution margin per production hour
Product X = $12
Product Y = $15
Explanation:
Part 1
Contribution margin per production hour
Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product
Therefore,
Product X = $6 ÷ 0.5
= $12
Product Y = $5 ÷ 0.33
= $15
Part 2
The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.
This mix would have been calculated by :
- Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)
- With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.
