Answer:

$1 = 1.372 CD

Explanation:

Spot rate, 1$ = 1.3750  Canadian dollars

Canadian securities annualized return = 6%

U.S. securities annualized return = 6.5%

Term = 6 month ≅(180 days)

Forward exchange rate in 180 days, 1$ = Spot rate * (1+US rate*6/12) / (1+CD rate*6/12)

= 1.3750 CD * (1 + 6%*6/12) / (1 + 6.5%*6/12)

= 1.3750 CD * (1 + 0.03) / (1 + 0.0325)

= 1.3750 CD * 1.03/1.0325

= 1.371670702179177 CD

= 1.372 CD

So, the the U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar exchange rate in the 180-day forward market is $1 = 1.372 CD

Answer:

b. oil prices increased faster than real GDP, but real GDP still grew at a healthy pace.

Explanation:

In this example, we compare the annual price of oil and the annual increase in GDP. When we look at the two, we can see that oil prices increased faster than real GDP. Nevertheless, we can also see that GDP still grew at a healthy pace.

GDP refers to Gross Domestic Product. This concept describes the monetary value of all good and services produced within a country's borders in a certain time period. GDP does not describe all the specific economic conditions of a country. However, it is still a useful measure for politicians and researchers in order to estimate the relative health of a country's economy.

A cereal company's cost, in thousands of dollars, is represented by the function C ( x ) = 2 x + 4500 and its revenue, in thousa
maxonik [38]

Answer:

31,500

Explanation:

Cost function, C (x) = 2 x + 4500

Revenue function, R (x) = 5 x

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

         = R(x) - C(x)

         = 5 x - [2 x + 4500]

         = 3 x - 4,500

If company sells 12,000 boxes, then profit will be:

=  3 x - 4,500

= 3(12,000) - 4,500

= 36,000 - 4,500

= 31,500

Therefore, 31,500 is the profit earn by the company by selling 12,000 boxes of cereal.
