Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that,

Price = $97.75

Time = 182 days

Face value = $100

Based on the above information  

1) bank discount rate is  

= (Face value - price) ÷ Face value × 365 / Time

= ($100 - $97.75) ÷ 100 × (365 / 182)

= 0.0225 × 2.005494

= 0.0451 (or) 4.51%

2) equivalent yield to maturity

= (Face value ÷ price)^365 ÷ Time - 1

= ($100 ÷ $97.75)^365 ÷ 182 -1

= 0.04669 (or) 4.66%

Answer:

0.2706 ; 0.05265 ; 0.1353

Explanation:

Given that :

λ = 2

According to the poisson distribution formula :

P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!

P(x = 1) = (2^1 *e^-2) / 1!

P(x = 1) = (2 * 0.1353352) = 0.2706

P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)

1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - [p(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2) + p(x = 3) + p(x = 4)]

We obtain and add the individual probabilities. To save computation time, we can use a poisson distribution calculator :

1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - (0.13534+0.27067+0.27067+0.18045+0.09022)

1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - 0.94735 = 0.05265

P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5) = 0.05265

Probability that no emails was received :

x = 0

P(x = 0) = (2^0 *e^-2) / 0!

P(x = 0) = (1 * 0.1353352) / 1 = 0.1353

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

D.​$19.56

Explanation:

The computation of the standard rate per direct labor hour is shown below:

= Basic direct labor rate + payroll tax rate percentage  × Basic direct labor rate + fringe benefits per hour

= $12 + $12 × 13% + $6

= $12 + $1.56 + $6

= $19.56

We simply added the basic direct labor rate + payroll tax rate + fringe benefits per hour so that the correct rate per direct labor hour can come

We multiply the required units by the time per units

That way we obtain the labour hours

Next we multiply by the labor rate, giving us the labor cost.

Suppose that France and Sweden both produce oil and cheese. France's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 3 barrel
Anni [7]

Answer:

FRANCE has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and SWEDEN has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.

  • Comparative advantages result form the lowest opportunity costs. In this case, France's opportunity cos tot produce cheese is lower, while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing oil is lower.

France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 3 BARRELS of oil for each pound of cheese it exports to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/11 POUNDS of cheese for each barrel of oil it exports to France.

Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of oil) would allow both Sweden and France to gain from trade?

  • a. 6 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
  • c. 4 barrel of oil per pound of cheese

For each of the following items, decide whether it is a natural resource (N), human resource (H), or capital good (C). In the sp
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Natural resource - Land

Human resource - Labour

Capital good - Machine

Explanation:

An example of a natural resource is land, an example of human resource is labour, while an example of capital good is machine.

As industries continue to grow, the population in will continue to grow as well, either through increased migration or higher birth rate resulting from better economic fortunes. This population increase in population will put pressure on available resources of land, labour and machine. This will in turn cause a reduction in the rate of industrial expansion and growth, thereby slowing down economic activities. To respond to this, industries will have to make backward movement into the outskirts, where there is abundance in supply of factors of production (land, labour and machine).
