Answer:

The future price of Silver is $26.14

Explanation:

First we compute Total storage costs(Tsc) in the future given by the equation:

T<em>sc</em> = (S<em>c</em>/4) * [  1 + exp(-rT<em>1</em>) + exp(-rT<em>2</em>) ]

where Sc is the storage cost today

where r is the rate

S<em>c</em> = $0.24

T<em>1</em> = 3/12

T<em>2</em> = 6/12

r = 5%=5/100

 = 0.05

Tsc = (0.24/4) [ 1 + exp(0.05*3/12) + exp(0.05*6/12) ]

Tsc = 0.06 [ 1 + exp(-0.05×0.25) + exp(-0.05×0.5) ]

Tsc = 0.178

The future price( Fv) is given by:

Fv = (Sp+ Tsc) *exp(rt)

where Sp is the spot price of silver

where r is the interest rate

where t is the delivery time ratio (9 months compared to 12 months)

Sp = $25

r = 5%

 = 5/100=0.05

t = 9/12

   =0.75

Fv = (25. 000+0. 178) * e xp(0. 05×0 .75 )

Fv = $26. 14

Answer:

None of the given options.

Depreciation expense for year 1 would be $37,500.

Explanation:

Cost = $400,000

Residual value = $50,000  

Expected hours = 40,000

Working hours (year 1) = 6,000 hours  

Now,  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Expected hours}  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{300,000 - 50,000}{40,000}  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{250,000}{40,000}  

Depreciation per hour = $6.25

Depreciation expense (year 1) = Depreciation per hour × Working hours (year 1)

Depreciation expense (year 1) = $6.25 × 6,000

Depreciation expense (year 1) = $37,500

  • This curve is unable to tell you the flow of dollars between the seller and buyers of goods of a business or a country.

Answer:

Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis  and conclude all three means are not equal.

Explanation:

The given data is

Banking          Retail            Insurance

12                      8                        10

10                     8                          8

10                     6                          6

12                     8                           8

<u>10                    10                          10</u>

The results of excel are:            

<u><em>Anova: Single Factor  </em></u>    

     

SUMMARY      

Groups    Count Sum Average         Variance  

Column 1 5 54            10.8              1.2  

Column 2 5 40               8               2  

Column 3 5 42              8.4                 2.8  

         

1) Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u1=u2=u3  i.e all the three means are equal and

Ha: Not all three means are equal

2) The significance level is set at ∝ =0.05

3)The test statistic to use is

F= sb²/ sw²

which has F distribution with v1= k-1 →3-1=2 and v2= n-k →15-3=12 degrees of freedom

After calculations the following table is obtained.

<u><em>ANOVA  </em></u>

<u>Total                     46.93      14                                                                </u>

4) The critical region is F ≥ F(0.05, 2,12) = 3.885

5) Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis  and conclude all three means are not equal.
