An example of this scenario occurs in real life when a close competitor of a firm invents a new mobile phone with certain features. Within a few weeks the other firm might release their own mobile phone with similar or even better features.
Answer:
The answer is = 12.5%
Explanation:
The 175 people that have jobs are in unemployment (employed).
The 25 people that are not working but are looking for jobs are called unemployed.
The 90 people are neither working nor looking for work for work are not counted in the employment.
Therefore, the labor force is employed people + unemployed people.
Labor force is 175 + 25= 200 people.
So, unemployment rate is:
(unemployed people ÷ labor force) x 100
(25÷200) x 100%
=12.5%
Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Explanation:
In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.
Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,
Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends
Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.
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
