Business
1 answer:
Arada [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Foreign exchange

Explanation:

The process of converting the currency of one country to another is known as foreign exchange or Forex. Converting or exchanging to a particular currency is buying that currency. One needs to have their home currency or any other currency to convert it to the desired currency.

If both currencies have equal strengths, then one unit of a currency should exchange with one unit of the other. The exchange rate would be one. Since currencies have different strengths, they convert or exchange at different rates.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

If Impala decides to buy from the external source , it would then save the fixed of $1,750

Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

Explanation:

<em>To determine the appropriate course of action, we shall determine whether there would be a net savings in cash flow as a result of purchasing externally or not.</em>

The relevant cash flows figures include:

  1. Internal variable cost of production
  2. External purchase price
  3. Savings in internal; fixed cost as result of buying outside

Variable cost of internal production = 42,000 + 8,750 + 15,750 = 66,500

Increase in variable cost if purchased externally = 66500 - 66500 = 0

If Impala decides to buy from the external source , it would then save the fixed of $1,750

Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$17,500

Explanation:

Given that,

Actual factory overhead for the year = $1,375,000

Estimated overhead = $1,250,000

Estimated machine hour = 50,000

Total machine hours for the year = 54,300

Predetermined rate per hour:

= Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated machine hour

= $1,250,000 ÷ 50,000

= $25 per hour

Applied overhead:

= Predetermined rate per hour × Total machine hours

= $25 × 54,300

= $1,357,500

Therefore, the under-applied amount for the year:

= Actual factory overhead - Applied overhead

= $1,375,000 - $1,357,500

= $17,500

Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets from New York to Boston:
Furkat [3]

Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).

1. Explain the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due. Begin by explaining what an annuity is.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Explanation:

1. An annuity is a number of equivalent payments made. For instance, the annuities include daily savings account deposits, monthly home loan payments, monthly insurance and pension payments. Annuity can be defined by the payment dates frequency.

Difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due:

In each period certain annuities shall pay the same amount, while varying annuities that differ in amounts. At the end of each time, payments in the standard annuity take place. In comparison, payments for an annuity due are made at the start of the contract.

2. The number of y-axis and discount rate on the x-axis is usually present in an annuity table. Place them on the table for your annuity and then place the cell in which they meet. Multiply the cell number by the amount of money each time is earned.

3. The annuity table contains the amount of contributions you expect to collect at a given interest rate plus a list of equivalent payments. You come to the current value of the payments when you subtract this element by one of the payments. As a quick guide the preceding annuity table includes only figures for discrete intervals and interest rates, which may be not quite the same as a real world scenario.
