Consider the following situations for Shocker

The federal funds rate A. equals the discount rate. B. only matters to banks and has very little impact on individual consumers.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

D. is the rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans of excess reserves.

Explanation:

The federal reserves require banks to maintain a certain amount in their vaults to cater for possible withdraws. At the close of business every day, banks have to confirm they have the required amount. Should a bank fail to meet the requirement, it can borrow from other banks that have a surplus. The interest rate that banks charge each other for these transactions is the fed fund rate.

The Fed set the fund rate. It may increase or decrease it depending on the prevailing market condition. The banks use the fund rate set to determine the interest rates to be charged on loans and mortgages. A high fund rate means high-interest rates.

A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Total debt ratio is 33.33%

Explanation:

A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,

Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000

A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,

Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2 = $100000

Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000

A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.

Total assets = total liabilities + total equity

Total assets = 500000 + 1000000

Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million

Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000

Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is $7,056.46

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You want to save sufficient funds to generate an annual cash flow of $55,000 a year for 25 years as retirement income. How much do you need to save each year if you can earn 7.5 percent on your savings?

Final value= 55,000*25= 1,375,000

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (1,375,000*0.075)/[(1.075^38)-1]= $7,056.46

Company A considers buying company B by means of a tender offer. Company B will accept any offer of A which reflects a fair valu

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

the price per share in the case when A offers B is $200

Explanation:

The computation of the price per share is as follows:

The fair value is

= ($60 + $120) × 50%

= $90

The 50% represent the percentage of equally

Now the price per share is

= $90 + $90 + $20

= $90 + $110

= $200

Hence, the price per share in the case when A offers B is $200

The same is to be considered

Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Sup

inysia [295]

Answer:

The supply and demand curves for the United States are shown in the graphs attached.

Explanation:

Free trade in oil implies that a country in the international oil market can import as much oil as it wants and export as much oil as it wants.

The costs of demand and the revenues obtained in each case are given below:

QD1 cost = 68 × 70 = $4,760

QS1 revenue = 16 × 70 = $1,120

QD2 cost = 470 × 70 = $32,900

QS2 revenue = 15 × 70 = $1,050

QD3 cost = 672 × 70 = $47,040

QS3 revenue = 14 × 70 = $980

QD4 cost = 874 × 70 = $61,180

QS4 revenue = 13 × 70 = $910

QD5 cost = 1076 × 70 = $75,320

QS5 revenue = 12 × 70 = $840

Find the graph attachments.
