Answer:
A. We should expect higher interest rates and lower stock prices.
Explanation:
Producer price index refers to the price that producers recieve for their products. When there is an increase in PPI it means producers are receiving more revenue.
Increased revenue will result in more money in circulation. To regulate the excess money the monetary authorities will increase interest rate to reduce borrowing and by extension money in the economy.
Because there is now a need to get more funds by the companies, they will lower share prices to make them attractive to prospective investors.
Answer:
before tax corportate bond equivalent: 11.15%
Explanation:
The municipal bond are tax-free making them more attractive than normal corporate bonds.
thus, the municipal bond rate should be compare with the after tax rate of a corporate bond:
before tax rate ( 1 - tax rate) = after tax rate
<u>For this case:</u>
the after tax rate is 7.25%
and the tax bracket is 35%
before taxes ( 1 - 0.35) = 0.0725
0.0725/.65 = 0,1115384 = <em>11.15%</em>
Answer:
$4,100
Explanation:
In this question ,we apply the income statement equation
Opening stock + Purchase + Gross profit = Sales + Closing stock
$4,500 + $17,000 + $11,600 = $29,000 + Closing stock
$33,100 = $29,000 + Closing stock
So, the closing stock would be
= $33,100 - $29,000
= $4,100
The gross profit is computed below:
= Sales × gross profit percentage
= $29,000 × 40%
= $11,600
I would think A the inflation rates are controlled
Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
