Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.

Critics of the North American Free Trade Agreement argued that opening our borders to free trade with Mexico would result in U.S

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.

Explanation:

It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.

It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.

On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.

The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.

The price of TSC stock will be either $42 or $46 at the end of the year. Currently, T-bills yield 4.1 percent and TSC sells for

const2013 [10]

Answer:

b. $.66

Explanation:

The computation of the per share value for the one year is

Given that

Current Price = $43

Possible Prices = $42 and $46

Now

u = [($46 - $43) ÷ $43] + 1

= 1.06977

And

d = 1 - [($42 - $43) ÷ $43]

= 0.9767

And,

Risk-Free Rate = T-Bill Rate = Rf = 4.1 %

Now the up move price probability is

= [(1 + Rf) - d] ÷ [u - d]

= [(1.041) - 0.9767] ÷ [1.06977 - 0.9767]

= 0.69088

And,

Exercise Price = $ 45

Now

If the Price is $42, so Payoff = $0

And

if the Price is $46, so Payoff =is

= ($46 - $45)

= $1

Finally the call price is

= [0.69088 × 1 + (1 - 0.69088) × 0] ÷ 1.041

= $0.66367

= $0.66

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$810,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The increase in fixed cost is

= Salary of each sales representative × number of sales representatives hired

= $45,000 × 18

= $810,000

Now the increase in sales needed for break even is

= Increase in fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $810,000 ÷ 30%

= $2,700,000

As we know that break even sales is computed by dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin ratio and we applied the same

find the selling price per pound of a coffee mixture made from 8 pounds of coffee that sells fo $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

$6.98 per pound

Explanation:

The computation of the selling price per pound is shown below:

As we know that

8 pounds of coffee sells for $9.20 per pound which equal to

= 8 pounds × $9.20 per pound

= $73.6

And, 12 pounds of coffee is for $5.50 per pound which equal to

= 12 pounds × $5.50 per pound

= $66

The total value would be

= $73.6 + $66

= $139.60

And, the total number of pounds would be

= 8 pound + 12 pound

= 20 pounds

And we assume the selling price per pound be X

So, the equation would be

$139.60 = 20 pounds × X

So, X would be

= $139.60 ÷ 20 pounds

= $6.98 per pound
