If these two companies were to behave as individual profit maximizers, both company will advertise regardless of whether the other company advertises or not because their goal primary goal is to increase the profit and domination of the market.
Answer:
If a currency such as the US$ is traded in a competitive market, a(n) increase in demand for the US$ raises the price of the US$ in terms of another currency such as the Japanese Yen (yen).
Explanation:
Basic offer and demand law.
Answer:
18 years
Explanation:
Given that;
P= $23,000
A= $76,300
r= 6.7%
From
A = P(1 + r/100)^n
76,300 = 23,000 (1 + 0.067)^n
3.3 = (1.067)^n
Taking logarithm of both sides
log 3.3 = log (1.067)^n
log 3.3 = nlog(1.067)
n= log 3.3/log 1.067
n= 0.5185/0.0282
n= 18 years ( to the nearest year)
Answer:
The fixed cost at any level of activity is $48,000 while the variable cost per unit at any level of activity is $1.30
Explanation:
The total cost is a function of the fixed and variable cost. Whilst the fixed cost does not change at a certain range of activities level, the variable cost changes as the level of activities(units produced or sold).
Using the high and low levels of activities given, let the variable cost per unit be v and the fixed cost F
for the high level,
F + 90,000v = 165,000
For the low level
F + 40,000v = 100,00
Solving both equations simultaneously,
50,000v = 65,000
v = $1.30
F + 40,000($1.30) = 100,000
F = 100,000 - 52,000
F = $48,000
Answer:
Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>
1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.
PV * (1 + S1) = FV
1 + S1 = 1000 / 900
S1 = 1.1111 - 1
S1 = 0.1111
S1 = 11.11%
1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950
Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50
950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2
950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2
1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905
(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905
1 + S2 = 1.160221/2
S2 = 7.714%
1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586
Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
