Answer: Increase (+)
Explanation:
The Government component of the Aggregate Demand refers to money spent by the Government/ Public sector to provide certain needs for the economy such as Education, Defense and Healthcare.
When the government spends on infrastructural development such as the scenario described in the text, they are engaging in a form of spending known as Government Investment. This will increase the amount of G in the aggregate demand model.
Answer:
(a) 7.5%
(b) 8.5%
(c) 9.5%
Explanation:
(a) Foreign country inflation rate - US inflation rate = Foreign country risk free rate - US risk free rate
Lets foreign country inflation rate = X
X - 1.5 = 8 - 2
X - 1.5 = 6
X = 6 + 1.5
= 7.5%
(b)
Lets foreign country infllation rate = X
X - 1.5 = 9 - 2
X - 1.5 = 7
X = 7 + 1.5
= 8.5%
(c)
Lets foreign country inflation rate = X
X - 1.5 = 10 - 2
X - 1.5 = 8
X = 7 + 1.5
= 9.5%
Answer:
a) Contribution from the special order= $52,640.
b) Stuart should accept the order
Explanation:
The amount of contribution to profit from the special order is the difference between the revenue and the relevant cost of variable cost of the special order.
The relevant cost of the special order is equal the sum of all variable cost only.
Note that the allocated facility overhead is irrelevant to whether to accept or reject the order. This is so because the costs would still be incurred either way.
Relevant variable costs of special order = (880 + 510) × 47 = $65,330
Sales revenue = 2,510 × 47 = $117,970.00
Contribution from the special order =$117,970.00 - $65,330
= $52,640.00
B) Stuart should accept the special order because it would increase its profit by $52,640.
Answer:
Holding period yield is 114.97%
effective yield is 8.72%
Explanation:
holding period yield=(Price at call-initial price+coupon payments)/initial price
=($970-$935)+(13*$80)/$935
=($35+$1040
)/$935
=$1075/$935
=114.97%
The effective yield is the yield to call which can be computed using the excel rate formula:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of payments before the call which is 13
pmt is the periodic payment by bond which is $1000*8%=$80
pv is the current market price of $935
fv is the bond price at end of 13 years at $970
=rate(13,80,-935,970)
rate=8.72%
Answer:
Christiaan Huygens
Explanation:
Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch physicist with many credits and inventions some of which is the pendulum clock and production of many telescopes. He is also credited as the father of theoretical physics being the first to make use of formula in physics. His wave theory of light was controversially not widely regarded because of Isaac Newton's earlier theory on corpuscular theory of light.
He published his work on the wave theory of light in the book called Treatise on Light in 1690 which was then seen as the opposite of what Newton (who was already wildly famous) had proposed.
