Answer:
103.4709
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
U.S inflation rate = 3%
Japan inflation rate = 1.5%
Current exchange rate = 105
Now the new exchange rate for the yen is
= Current exchange rate × (1 + Japan inflation rate) ÷ (1 + U.S inflation rate)
= 105 × (1 + 1.5%) ÷ (1 + 3%)
= 105 × (1.015 ÷ 1.03)
= 105 × 0.985436893
= 103.4709

Answer and Explanation:
The credit terms '3/15, n/60' and '2/10, n/30' mentioned in the question signifies the terms in which riverbed has sold its product to the buyer.
3/15, n/60 means that if the buyer pays with 15 days since the transaction takes place then the buyer would receive 3% on the receivable.
However, if they fail to pay within 15 days then the buyer would have to pay the full amount within 60 days.
Similarly, 2/10, n/30 means 2% discount within 10 days since the transaction took place. Otherwise full payment after 10 day.
Answer: 14%
Explanation:
We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,
P = D1 / r - g
P is the current stock price
D1 is the next dividend
r is the rate of return or the cost of capital
g is the growth rate.
We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,
r = D/ P + g
r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07
r = 0.1401
r = 14%
14% is the equity cost of capital.

a. <em>Remember</em>, the PPF (Production Possibility Frontier) framework allows for the selection of a preferred choice as regards budget spending. Hence, in such a situation, it calls for a choice to be made.
b. According to the PPF framework, where there is an increase in the population, it is expected that such change would result in an increase in the labor force capacity; and ultimately leading to an upward shift in the PPF curve. Thereby, increasing the overall production of the economy.
c. Within the PPF framework, a technological change that makes resources less specialized will result also result in an upward shift in the PPF curve.
