Answer: a. 2.90%
b. 2.81%
Explanation:
Nominal rate = 6%
Inflation rate = 3.1%
a. What is the approximate real rate of interest?
The approximate real rate of interest will be calculated as:
= Nominal rate - Inflation rate
= 6.0% - 3.1%
= 2.90%
b. What is the exact real rate?
Exact real rate will be calculated as:
= (nominal-inflation) / (1+inflation)
= (6.0% - 3.1%) / (1 + 3.1%)
= 2.9% / 1.031
= 2.81%
Answer:
<u>Explanation</u>:
Exploitation often involves a denial of an individual's right (in this case a consumer's right).
Consumers are often exploited in this three areas:
Poor quality standard: For example, one may purchase an electronic device, which in most cases the quality level is determined only after using the product and then discover that the product has failed to meet expectations like performance failure.
High Prices: This is often happens when a consumer isn't aware of the average price of a particular product and may be the taken advantage of by the seller.
False or Incomplete product description: Online shopping often presents this type of exploitation. For example, an individual may buy a wrist watch he thinks is made of silver, but receives the item an discover it is actually made of rubber material.
Answer:
Break-even sales = $800,000.
Explanation:
<em>The beak-even point is the units of products to be sold or number of customers to be served to enable a business to cover exactly its total cost from the revenue. At the break-even point, the business makes no profit or no loss because the contribution from sales exactly equals the total fixed cost</em>
<em>Break-even in sales revenue = Total fixed cost/Contribution margin</em>
<em>Contribution margin (%) = Contribution/ sales × 100</em>
= 160,000/640,000
= 0.25 × 100
= 25%
<em>Fixed cost = Contribution - operating income</em>
= 160,000- -( 40,000)
= 160,000 + 40,000
= 200,000
<em>Break-even point sales = 200,000/25%</em>
= $800,000.
Answer:
$27.33
Explanation:
For computing the one share of the common stock after six years from now first, we have to determine the price of the common stock which is shown below
Price of the common stock = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2.05 ÷ (11.2% - 2.50%)
= $23.56
The growth rate is
= ($2.05 - $2) ÷ ($2)
= 2.50%
Now the one share of the common stock after six years is
= $2 × 1.025^7 ÷ (11.2% - 2.50%)
= 2.3773715073 ÷ 8.7%
= $27.33
