Answer:
59% - a)increase - b)decrease
Explanation:
First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.
Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).
Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).
With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.
Answer:
Diversification
Explanation:
The key words here are 'several businesses'. A company engage in many businesses in order to mitigate or reduce its business risk, and also to create and add more value to customers. This offers a far advantage position than a stand alone entities who deal with only one product or service.
The few rule the many. Hope this helped, have a great day! :D
Answer:
Therefore, the internal rate of return is lower than the expected return, for this the project must be rejected
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
The cash flow of a project consists of the following amount from year 0 to 3 = −$161,900, $60,800, $62,300, and $75,000
The rate of return required = 13%
Now,
Let the Internal rate of return be y%
Thus,
At internal rate of return, the value of present inflows is the same as the value of present outflows.
So,
Internal rate of return = Value of present inflows = Value of present outflows
=161900 =60800/1.0y +62300/1.0 y ^2 + 75000/ 1,0 y^3
Therefore, y = internal rate of return 10.41%
Answer:
There is a shortage of the product.
Explanation:
The market demand curve is downward sloping indicating a negative relationship with price. While the market supply curve is upward sloping indicating a positive relationship with price.
At the market equilibrium, both demand and supply are equal. At a price below the equilibrium level, the market demand is greater than supply. This causes a shortage in the economy.
