Answer:

C) Decrease the acid-test ratio

Explanation:

The quick ratio is also called acid test ratio. It is a liquidity ratio that measures level of liquid assets of a business.

That is the amount of cash or near cash assets it has to settle it's current debt.

Mathematically

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities

If cash (current asset) is used to buy Inventory. Cash will reduce and inventory will increase.

The value of (Current asset - Inventory) reduces.

As the numerator in the ratio reduces, the quick ratio also reduces.

Olin [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. firm-level demand

Explanation:

Demand can be defined as the quantity of goods and services that are acquired by consumers at different prices, at a specific unit of time (one day, one month, one year, etc.) since without a temporary parameter we cannot say if a Demand amount grows or decreases.

A Caterpillar tractor acquired on January 12 at a cost of $171,000 has an estimated useful life of 25 years. Assuming that it wi
Kay [80]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-

Depreciation

= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25

= $6,840

For First year = $6,840

For Second year = $6,840

It would be the same for the remaining useful life

b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 25

= 4%

Now the rate is double So, 8%

In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60

                              Applied to fixed overhead

Overhead fixed by DL hr.         =\frac{50000}{25000}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =2

DL hours standard   =35000 \times \frac{25000}{50000 \times 80\%}  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =21875

Application of fixed overhead = 21875 \times 2.0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 43750

                                 Variance in volume

Application of total fixed overhead  = \$43,750

Fixed total estimates Superfast  =\$50,000  

Variance of volume  = \$6,250

Suppose that the spot price of the euro is currently $1.30. The 1-year futures price is $1.35. Is the interest rate higher in th
valkas [14]

Answer:

The interest rate is higher in the US.

Explanation:

The forward price is calculated using the following formula,

F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t

where,

  • F = Forward rate
  • S = Spot rate
  • Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
  • Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
  • t = time in years

We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD

The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.

We can see this by the following example,

Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)

F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1   => $1.362 PER 1EUR
