Answer:

c. $8.63

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually.  A. $8.88 , B. $9.12 , C. $8.63 , D. $9.02"</em>

Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum

The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.

Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)

= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000

= $10

Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period

= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)

= $8.6261

= $8.63

What information must economists have to estimate the price elasticity of​ demand? To estimate the price elasticity of​ demand,
kkurt [141]

Answer:

C. the demand curve for a product.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

Thus, to determine the value of elasticity, one must know what was the change in price and the change in quantity demanded. In a graph where price and quantity are the x and y axes, this can be obtained by observing changes in the demand curve points, which reflected the price change on one axis and the quantity change on another axis. Thus, it is sufficient to divide the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price to find the price elasticity of demand.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000

= $750,000 Unfavorable

b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000

= $1.60 per barrel

Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60

= $8,160,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000

= $160,000 Favorable

c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead

The market value balance sheet for Cherry Pie Corp. reflects a cash of $22,000, fixed assets of $209,000, and equity of $231,000
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Equity = $231,000

No. of outstanding shares = 5,000

Price of share = \frac{231,000}{5000}

Price of share = $46.2

Repurchased shares worth $18,000

No. of shares repurchased = \frac{18,000}{46.2}

No. of shares repurchased = 390

When the shares would have been repurchased then the value of equity would decrease by the same amount.

Revised equity = $231,000 - $18,000

Revised equity = $213,000

No. of shares outstanding = 5,000 - 390

No. of shares outstanding = 4,610

Thus, the price of each share would be:

Share price = \frac{213,000}{4,610}

Share price = $42.60
