Answer:

The interest rate is higher in the US.

Explanation:

The forward price is calculated using the following formula,

F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t

where,

  • F = Forward rate
  • S = Spot rate
  • Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
  • Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
  • t = time in years

We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD

The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.

We can see this by the following example,

Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)

F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1   => $1.362 PER 1EUR

frez [133]

Answer:

<u>$50</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the production function, Q = K0.5L0.5,

K denotes the fixed input in the short run.

First, we calculate the total cost:

Cost of Capital= 25 x $1 = $25

Cost of Labor (for a start 25 workers are used)= 25 x $1 = $25

Total= $50

Since the price of the solar panels is $100, substrating from the total cost $50 (100-50) we get $50 profit per unit of solar panel.
