Solution:

Given ,

1 Year interest rates in Europe = 4 %

1 Year interest rates in the U.S. = 2 %

You are translating $200,000 and spending $200,000 in French

Current spot rate of the euro = $1.20

a.   (2%-4%)/(1+4%)=(S - 1.20) / 1.20  

     S= $1.1769 one year Euro rate

b. ( $1 / 1.20 )( 1 + 4% )* 1.12 = $.9707 return of -2.93% (loss)

c. ( $1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%)* 1.31 = $1.1353 return of 13.53% (gain)

d . ($1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%) *S = $1 (1+2%) ;

        S=$1.1769          

A spot rate of over $1.17697 (this is the same in part A) would be effective.

Tom sold his home for $140,000 paying a 7% real estate commission. He bought the home for $45,000, paid $2,000 in closing costs,
Igoryamba

Answer:

$48,200

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price of home = $140,000

Acquisition price = $45,000

Closing cost = $2,000

Cost of fireplace and family room = $35,000

Real estate commission = 0.07 × 140,000 = $9,800

Total adjusted basis  = 45,000 + 2,000 + 35,000 + 9,800

                                   = $91,800

Taxable gain = Selling price - adjusted basis

                      = 140,000 - 91,800

                      = $48,200

Describe the slope of the demand curve? How does the slope reflect the law of demand?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. The slope is negative</u>
  • <u>2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Describe the slope of the demand curve?</em>

<em>The slope of the demand curve</em> is negative.

The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.

Mathematically:

           slope=\dfrac{\text{change in demand}}{\text{change in price}}

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.

This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).

<em>How does the slope reflect the law of demand?</em>

The slope reflects perfectly <em>the law of demand</em> because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.

Jefferson Co. uses the following standard to produce a single unit of its product: Variable overhead $6 (2 hrs. per unit @ $3/hr
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

B. 6,000U

Explanation:

The total variable overhead variance shall be calculated using the following formula:

Variable overhead variance=(Actual units produced*Standard hours per unit* Standard rate per hour) - (Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production)

Standard rate per hour=$3

Standard hours per unit=2

Actual units produced=24,000

Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production=$150,000

Variable overhead variance=(24,000*2*3-150,000)

                                              =(144,000-150,000)

                                              =$6,000U

So the answer is B. 6,000U
