Answer:
Explanation:
When Leverett's exports became less popular, its savings, Y-C-G does not change. Reason being that, it is assumed that Y depends on the amount of capital and labour, consumption depends only on disposable income and government spending is a fixed extrinsic variable.
Since investment depends on interest rate, and Leverett is a small open economy that takes the interest rate as given, thus investment also does not change . Neither does net export change (This is shown by the S-I curve in the attachment).
The decreased popularity of Leverett's exports leads to an inward shift of the net export curve inward. At the new equilibrium,net exports remains unchanged, though the currency has depreciated.
Leverett's trade balance remained the same, despite the fact that its exports are less popular, this is due to the fact that the depreciated currency provides a stimulus to net exports which overcomes the unpopularity of its exports by making them cheaper.
b. Leverett's currency now buys less foreign currency, thus traveling abroad becomes more expensive. This is an instance showing that imports (including foreign travel) have become more expensive- as required to keep net exports unchanged in the case of decreased demand for exports.
Answer:
$50.57 ; $175,573.6
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed and variable portions of overhead costs based on machine-hours using high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High Overhead cost - low overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low service hours)
= ($581,145 - $503,775) ÷ (8,020 hours - 6,490 hours)
= $77,370 ÷ 1,530 hours
= $50.57
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $581,145 - (8,020 hours × $50.57)
= $581,145 - $405,571.4
= $175,573.60
Answer:
a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250
b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?
she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years
the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year
Answer:
option (b) 9.5%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Loan Amount = $2,000,000
Annual interest rate = 9%
Required compensating balance = $100,000
Now,
Effective interest rate(EIR)
= (loan × Annual interest on loan) ÷ (Loan - Required compensating balance)
= ($2,000,000 × 9% ) ÷ ( $2,000,000 - $100,000 )
= ($2,000,000 × 0.09 ) ÷ ( $1,900,000 )
= 0.0947 ≈ 0.095
or
= 0.095 × 100%
= 9.5%
Hence,
the answer is option (b) 9.5%
