Answer:
c. $363 million
Explanation:
We can compute this easily by making a retained earning extract from the balance sheet at the closing date,
Opening Retained earnings $12,329
Add retained earnings for the year $556
Less: Dividends paid $363
Closing Retained earnings $12,522
Reverse calculating the information gives us c. $363 million
Hope that helps.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
If the federal fund's rates were above the targeted rate, the Fed would need to move it towards the targeted rate. To move the interest rate towards the targeted rate, the government would need to increase the money supply. This can be done by buying bonds. When the Fed buys bonds they pay for it, this causes the money supply to increase. As the supply curve shifts to the right, the interest rate will fall down.
Answer: RM3
Explanation:
Gross domestic product has to do with the monetary value of the goods that are produced in a particular economy. In this case, the total contribution will be RM3 since it's the final amount that the bread is sold.
It should be noted that RM2 in this case is the intermediate good and should therefore bit be included so that there won't be an overstatement of the GDP and to prevent double counting.
Answer:
bond market value $660
Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%
First we do the annuity:
C 24.25 (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )
time 24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)
rate 0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)
PV $339.55
Then present value of the maturity
Maturity 1,000.00 the face value of the bond
time 24.00
rate 0.04850
PV 320.89
Finally we add them together:
PV coupon payment $339.5545
PV maturity $320.8910
Total $660.4455
rounding to nearest dollar
bond market value $660
Answer:
The correct option is c. $8.
Explanation:
Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)
Where;
MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3
Price of Sprite = $1 per can
From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3
Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:
Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8
Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.
