Answer:

Firm X is facing low elasticity of demand at its current level of output.

Explanation:

This is why Firm X is able to set such a high price of $24/unit when its marginal cost is $5/unit.  Usually, a monopolist does not want to set prices and outputs in the inelastic range of the demand curve.  It is always interested in setting profit-maximizing prices and outputs.  Firm X should be wary of setting too high prices because consumers can decide to lower their demand.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

$6673

$14,533.50

$421,256.38

$234,243.36

Explanation:

The formula for determining future value is :

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

$1,800 x (1.14)^10 = $6673

$7,852 x (1.08)^8 = $14,533.50

$67,355 x (1.13)^15 = $421,256.38

$174,796 x (1.05)^6 = $234,243.36

Natali [406]

Answer:

Option A The impact of a change in the local currency on inflow and outflow variables can sometimes be indirect and therefore different from what is expected.

Explanation:

The reason is that the changes in the currency exchange rate in which the company receives the payment and is also not a home currency, such risk exposure is known as economic exposure. So the only option that correct here is option A.

Option B is incorrect because depreciation is non cash item and it is not exposed to currency fluctuations.

Option C and D are also incorrect because domestic firms don't face any economic exposure.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a. The Geometric average return  is 1.72%

b. The Arithmetic average return is 1.75%

c. The Dollar weighted average return is 2.61%

Explanation:

a) In order to calculate the time-weighted geometric average return we would have to calculate first the Holding period return as follows:

Holding period return = (200 - 190) / 190 = 5.263%

Hence, Geometric average return = (1 + .05263)^(1/3) - 1 = 1.72%

b) To calculate time-weighted arithmetic average return we have to make the following calculation:

Arithmetic average return = 5.263% / 3 = 1.75%

c) To calculate time-weighted arithmetic average return we would have to make the following calculation:

Dollar weighted average return=-190*3 + 200/(1+r) + 200/(1+r)^2 + 200 / (1+r)^3 = 0

= 2.61%
