Answer:A) one year

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

D) per capita GDP decreased for country A only

Explanation:

Per capita GDP is calculated by dividing total GDP by the total population of the country. If the population of the country grows faster than its GDP, then its GDP per capita will decrease.

For example, country A's GDP is $100, and it has 20 citizens, so its GDP per capita for year 1 = $100 / 20 = $5. If the economy grew by 4% and the population grew by 5%, then the GDP per capita on year 2 will = $104 / 21 = $4.95.

Ruby Company produces a chair that requires 7 yards of material per unit. The standard price of one yard of material is $14.40.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

a. Price variance

= (Actual price - Standard price) × Actual material

= ($15.12 - $14.40) × 44,600

= $0.72 × 44,600

= $32,112 Unfavourable

b. Quantity variance

= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price

= [44,600 - (6,500 × 7) ] × $14.40

= (44,600 - 45,500) × $14.40

= -900 × $14.40

= $12,960 Favourable

C. Cost variance

= Actual cost - Standard cost

= (44,600 × $15.12) - (7 × 6,500 × $14.40)

= $674,352 - $655,200

= $19,152Unfavourable

Barney owns a lot valued at $84,000. he purchases an adjoining lot for $66,000 and merges the two properties. the current apprai
bezimeni [28]

The freshly developed lot currently has a $177,500 appraised value. as an illustration: plottage

Plottage is the increase in value obtained by joining two or more neighboring pieces of land into one bigger tract. Assemblage describes the procedure of bringing the parcels together. In most cases, the total value of a parcel will be more than the sum of its smaller parts.

What does plottage increment mean?

The value added by fusing the lots is referred to as plottage increment. As an illustration, Steve is the owner of two adjacent plots. It costs $40,000 for each one. The overall valuation has increased by $10,000 and is now $90,000 when consolidated into a single property.

An estimated demand curve does not necessarily match actual data perfectly because A. it is not possible to accurately calculate
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve.

Explanation:

a lot of unforeseen circumstances might occur. these occurrences would not be measured in the estimated demand curve. this would lead to the estimated demand curve not matching the actual demand curve.

for example, the factors affecting the demand for bread are ; price, income, price of a substitutes. these are included in estimating the demand curve for bread. Assume that a study comes out stating that bread is harmful to the health.this reduces the demand for bread. this study wasn't anticipated and included in estimating the demand curve. as a result, the actual data would differ from the estimated data

Turner Inc. produces two products P1 and P2. The company has provided you with the following information. Assume that the curren
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

B. The operating leverage for Turner now is 0.47  ⇒ TRUE

operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $240,000 / $510,000 = 0.47

C. Turner makes a contribution of $0. 57 per dollar of revenue, on the average.  ⇒ TRUE

total contribution margin = ($20 x 9,000) + ($30 x 6,000) = $180,000 + $180,000 = $360,000

total revenue = $630,000

contribution margin per $ of revenue = $360,000 / $630,000 = $0.57

D. Turner will break even when it reaches a revenue of $420,000.  ⇒ TRUE

break even point in $ = (6,000 x $30) + (4,000 x $60) = $180,000 + $240,000 = $420,000

Explanation:

A. 40% of Turner's revenue comes from P2  ⇒ FALSE

total revenue = $270,000 + $360,000 = $630,000

revenue from P2 = $360,000, which represents 57.14% of total revenue

E. The breakeven volume for Turner is 9,334 units ⇒ FALSE

in order to calculate break even point, we can prepare a bundle of products = 3P1 + 2P2

contribution margin per bundle = $120

break even point = $240,000 / $120 = 2,000 bundles

6,000 P1 and 4,000 P2
