Answer:
a. a depreciation of the home currency
Explanation:
Floating exchange rate system is a system in which the exchange rates of any currency depends upon the forex market, basically the supply and demand force of the country in international trade.
Depreciation in home currency will make it cheaper for the country top export, as less payment need to be made for same goods by other country if the home country exports.
Imports will turn expensive, which shall decline imports.
Accordingly receipts will increase and payments will decrease, which shall result in re framing current account and the deficit shall be decreased and might be reversed into surplus.
Answer:
Nathan's contention is wrong.
Explanation:
Storage of money at home involves the opportunity cost of losing out on income that would've been generated had the same money been invested elsewhere or deposited with a bank.
Secondly, money stored at home is vulnerable to theft and other forms of risks.
Thirdly, stored money at home does not contribute to any economic benefit since such money is out of circular flow of money in the economy. So it yields no return.
Thus, Nathan's contention of stored money at home being costless is wrong.
Answer:
The total monthly fixed cost and the variable cost per hour is $1,540 and $23
The average contribution margin per hour is $27
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High service hours - low service hours)
= ($11,200 - $4,300) ÷ (420 hours - 120 hours)
= $6,900 ÷ 300 hours
= $23
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High operating cost - (High service hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $11,200 - (420 hours × $23)
= $11,200 - $9,660
= $1,540
For computing the contribution margin per hour, first we have to compute the revenue per hour which is shown below:
= Revenue ÷ service hours
= $6,000 ÷ 120 hours
= $50
We know that,
The contribution per hour = Revenue per hour - variable cost per hour
= $50 - $23
= $27
