Answer:
Total costs= $75,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For 10,000 units:
$40,000 for direct labor
$4,000 for electric power
Total fixed costs are $23,000
We need to determine the unitary variable cost for direct labor and electric power:
Unitary direct labor= 40,000/10,000= $4
Electric power= 4,000/10,000= $0.4 per unit
Now, for 12,000 units:
Total direct labor cost= 4*12,000= $48,000
Electric power= 0.4*12,000= $4,800
Fixed costs= 23,000
Total costs= $75,000
Answer:
These statements are true:
A) The Federal Reserve does not set the Federal funds rate, but it influences it through the use of open market operations:
For example, at the very moment the Fed funds rate is 1.75%. If the Fed wanted to raise it to 2%, it would have to do so through the use of open market operations (in this case, because it wants to raise the rate, it would have to sell securities in order to reduce the money supply).
C) The Federal Reserve sets the target for the Federal funds rate, and then uses the reserve ratio to push banks toward that target.
Reserve requirements are perhaps the most powerful, and least often used, monetary policy tool that the Fed has at its disposal. It is very powerful because it directly increases or decreases the money supply.
For example, if the Fed wants to increase the fed funds rate, it can raise the reserve ratio so that banks keep more money in reserves, have less money to loan, and in consequence, create less money, causing the money supply to shrink and the fed funds rate to rise accordingly.
D) The Federal Reserve sets the Federal funds rate.
Correct. More specifically, the Federal Open Market Committee, which meets eight times a year to set the target for the fed funds rate.
Answer:
Return on investment=12.81%
Explanation:
<em>Return on investment for a stock comprises of the capitals and dividend earned on the stock.</em>
<em>The capital gain is the difference between he cost of the shares when it was bought and the value when it is sold.</em>
Capital gain = (24.50 -22)× 500= 1250
Dividend earned for a year = 0.32× 500 =160
Total return = 1250 + 160 =1,410
Total return = $1,410
Cost of the shares= 11,000
Return on investment = total return/cost of shares× 100
=1,410
/11,000 × 100= 12.81
Return on investment=12.81%
