The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production __________________

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: cost ratio

Explanation: The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production cost ratio. The production cost ratio allows small-scale manufacturers to determine their cost more accurately as well as control known cost parameters and is a method that can be adapted and applied to any business.

In a multi-product manufacturing firm, the production cost ratio is necessary for accurate compilation and allocation of production costs to each category of product especially when both the Production Time and the Production Runs are not the same and/or when fixed labor, overhead and other costs are drawn from the same pool. When the ratio is not applied results in a skewed allocation of production costs. This in turn can affect the business as it becomes difficult to ascertain the products whose production are more profitable to the business.

Answer:

Monthly payment = $469.701

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:

Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor

Loan amount = 20,000

Monthly annuity factor =

=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r

r- Monthly interest rate (r)

= 6/12= 0.5%

n- Number of months ( n) = 20 × 4 = 48

Annuity factor

= ( 1- (1.005)^(-48)/0.005= 42.5803

Monthly installment= 20,000 /42.5803 = $469.701

Monthly installment = $469.701

Monthly payment = $469.701

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%

Explanation:

We assume the corporate bond have a face value of $1,000

Face Value = $1000

Coupon = 6.5%*1000/2 =32.50

Number of Periods = 15*2 =30

Semi annual rate of BBB bond = 7.2%/2 =3.6%

Price of BBB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value =

Price of BBB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+3.6%)^-30)/3.6%)+1000/(1+3.6%)^30

Price of BBB Bond = $936.43

Semiannual Discount Rate for BB bond = 8.5%/2 = 4.25%

Price of BB Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value

Price of BB Bond = 32.50*(((1-(1+4.25%)^-30)/4.25%)+1000/(1+4.25%)^30

Price of BB Bond= $832.21

Price change in dollars = $936.43 - $832.21

Price change in dollars = $104.22

% decrease in price of dollars = $104.22 / $936.43

% decrease in price of dollars = 0.111295025

% decrease in price of dollars = 11.13%
