Answer:

$1,667

Explanation:

Given that,

Savings account at the beginning of the year = $2,000

Price level at the beginning of the year = 100

Price level at the end of the year = 120

Price level increases from 100 to 120

Therefore, what was worth $120 earlier, is not worth only $100.

Hence, $120 at the beginning of the year is worth = $100 at the end of the year

$1 at the beginning of the year is worth = ($100 ÷ $120) at the end of the year

Savings of $2,000 at the beginning of the year is worth:

= ($100 ÷ $120) × $2,000

= 0.833 × $2,000

= $1,667

Therefore, the real value of the savings is $1,667.

An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 1.6% in Year 1, 3.05% in Year 2, and 3.85% each year thereafter. Assu
mixer [17]

Answer:

The difference between two securities is 0.89%.

Explanation:

Inflation premium for the next three and five years:

Inflation premium (3) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85%) ÷ 3

                                  = 2.83%

Inflation premium (5) = (1.6% + 3.05% + 3.85% + 3.85% + 3.85%) ÷ 5

                                  = 3.24%

Real risk-free rate = 2.35%

Since default premium and liquidity premium are zero on treasury bonds, we can now solve for the maturity risk premium:

Three-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (3) + MRP(3)

6.80% = 2.35% + 2.83% + MRP(3)

MRP (3) = 1.62%

Similarly,

5-year Treasury securities = Real risk-free rate + Inflation premium (5) + MRP(5)

8.10% = 2.35% + 3.24% + MRP(3)

MRP (5) = 2.51%

Thus,

MRP5 - MRP3 = 2.51% - 1.62%

                         = 0.89%

Therefore, the difference between two securities is 0.89%.

Wildhorse Company accumulates the following data concerning a mixed cost, using miles as the activity level. Miles Driven Total
tangare [24]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Miles Driven Total Cost Miles Driven Total Cost

January: 8,000 $14,120

March: 8,550 $14,979

February: 7,490 $13,495

April: 8,195 $14,490

To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (14,979 - 13,495) / (8,550 - 7,490)

Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
