Answer:

the options are missing, so I looked for them:

a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

c. The selling of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

d. The buying of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

the answer is:

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

Explanation:

The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.

You are a U.S.-based treasurer with $1,000,000 to invest. The dollar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00 and the dolla

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00

the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00

To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) = S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).

Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)

S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)

= (2 / 1.5)

= €1.33.

Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.

puteri [66]

Answer:

4.87%

Explanation:

In this question , we are asked to calculate the appropriate after-tax cost of new debt for the firm to use in capital budgeting analysis.

PMT = 1000*7% = 70 (indicates the amount of interest payment)

Nper = 10 (indicates the period over which interest payments are made)

PV = 966 (indicates the present value)

FV = 1000 (indicates the future/face value)

Rate = ? (indicates the cost of debt)

After Tax Cost of Debt = Rate(Nper,PMT,PV,FV)*(1-Tax Rate) = Rate(10,70,-966,1000)*(1-.35) = 4.87%

Which formula is correct formatting for a nested function?

erastova [34]

Answer:

=IF(AND(B2>3000,02>2000),"Bonus","No Bonus")

Explanation:

A nested If statement is used when 1 or more conditions are to be tested. The result of the nested function depends based on the true value of the function.

i.e. If the nested statement is true, certain operations are to be done otherwise, do something else. In other words, the IF function allows you to make a logical comparison between a value and what you expect by testing for a condition and returning a result if True or False.

The syntax of a nested function goes thus

IF( condition1, value_if_true1, IF( condition2, value_if_true2, value_if_false2 ))

This would be equivalent to the following in Excel

= IF(condition1,"value_if_true",value_if_false)

Base on the above explanation, only option B is right.

And what it does is that

it checks if cell B2 is greater than 3000 AND cell 02 is greater than 2000.

If both statement are true, "Bonus" will be the output result

If one ore both statement are false, "No Bonus" will be the output result

Kruka [31]

Answer:

6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total administrative expense allocated to the Meats department is shown below:

= (Total administrative expenses ÷ total square feet) × meat square feet

= ($15,000 ÷ 3,000) × 1,200

= 6,000

We simply do the proportion based on the meats department by dividing the total square feet

All other information which is given in the question is not considered. Hence, ignored it
