Answer: C. Thursday, December 18th

Explanation:

The ex-date for dividends is the business day before the dividends are to be distributed. This is regardless of when the news of the dividends are announced by various entities.

The dividends are to be distributed on Friday, December 19th which means that the ex-date has to be the day before which is Thursday the 18th. As this is a weekday, we can assume that it is a business day as well.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Spot rate:

1 euro = $1.41

Now,

Converting 400,000 euros into dollars gives us the following

400,000*1.41 =$564,000

Thys,

Contract rate,

=1 euro = $1.36

So,

Converting 400,000 euros into dollars gives us

400,000*1.36 = $544,000.00

Hence,

The increase  in net income =$564,000- $544,000

=$20,000

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

It costs Sunland Company $28 of variable costs and $18 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells fo
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The effect that will happen on the net income is an increase in $6,000.

Explanation:

For this product, we have:

Price: $90.

Variable cost: $28

Allocated fixed cost: $18

There is an opportunity to sell 3,000 units at $30, and the firm has excess capacity.

As the allocated fixed cost only counts for the existing level of production (before accepting the 3,000 additional units), they don't matter in the decision.

With excess capacity, the firm only incurs in the variable cost of $28 per unit. If the price is $30, the variation in the net income will be:

\Delta NI=Q(P'-VC)=3,000*(30-28)=3,000*2=6,000

The effect that will happen on the net income is an increase in $6,000.

For a perfectly competitive firm, which of the following is not true at profit maximization?a. Total revenue minus total cost is
topjm [15]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Market price is greater than marginal cost.

In a perfectly competitive market, there are large number of buyers and sellers. So, price is determined by the market forces.

At a point of profit maximization, price is equal to the marginal cost and we have to maximize the difference of the total revenue and total cost. It was not seen in a perfectly competitive market that the price is above the marginal cost at a profit maximizing point.

Therefore, option (d) is not true.
