Answer:
D
Explanation:
Foreign exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency.
If there is a surplus in the market for foreign-currency exchange, it means that the supply of foreign currency exceeds the demand. This would lead to the exchange rate appreciating and the domestic goods been more expensive.
If the foreign currency is moving from a surplus to equilibrium, it means that the supply is falling and is almost equal to demand. This would lead to a depreciation of the exchange rate and domestic good would become less expensive
Consider a 10-year bond with a face value of $1,000 that has a coupon rate of 5.5%, with semiannual payments.
a. What is the coupon payment for this bond?
Explanation:
It all depends on the market conventions and the bond documentation.
1 In most countries, traditionally fixed coupon bonds don’t have their coupons day counted. So if the frequency is twice a year, and the annual coupon rate is 5.5%, then each semi-annual coupon is exactly 5.5/2=2.75%. However a lot of other instruments, e.g. fixed swap legs, loans, and bonds that are really “loan participation notes”, etc. usually have their fixed coupons day counted. So each coupon amount will vary a little depending on the number of days in the accrual period, weekends and holidays.
A company issues $15700000, 5.8%, 20-year bonds to yield 6% on January 1, 2019. Interest is paid on June 30 and December 31. The proceeds from the bonds are $15337098. Using straight-line amortization, what is the carrying value of the bonds on December 31, 2021
Answer:
$15,391,533
Explanation:
Par value of the bond = $15700000
Coupon rate = 5.8%
Time period = 20 Years
YTM = 6%
Discount amortised = ( $15,700,000 - $15,337,098) ÷ 20
= $362,902 ÷ 20 = $18,145.1
Discount amortised for year 1 = $18,145.1
So, discount amortised for 3 years = $18,145.1 × 3 = $54,435.3
Hence, carrying value of the bonds on Dec. 31, 2021 = $15,337,098 + $54,435.3
= $15,391,533.3 or $15,391,533

Answer: Four pies.
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the additional cost of producing one extra unit of a good or service.
From this graph we see the marginal cost rise when the first pie is produced and then it subsequently decreases as the second and third pie is produced which is where it reaches its lowest point.
From the fourth pie, the marginal cost begins to rise again which means the marginal cost begins to increase when the producer makes four pies.

Caroline's paycheck each week is $12 per hour times the number of hours she works. Caroline thus currently earns a ___ wage of $12 per hour. Suppose the price of sparkling water is $3 per gallon. The amount of sparkling water she can buy with her paycheck is ___ of sparkling water, which represents her ___ wage.
When workers and firms negotiate compensation packages, they have expectations about the price level (and changes in the price level) and agree on a ___ weage with those expectations in mind. If the price level turns out to be higher than expected, a worker's ___ wage is ___ than both the worker and employer expected when they agreed to the wage.
Suppose that Caroline and her employer both expected inflation to be 3% between 2011 and 2012. They signed a two-year contract stipulating that Caroline would earn $12 per hour in 2011 and $12.36 per hour in 2012. However, actual inflation between 2011 and 2012 turned out to be 5% rather than the expected 3%. For example, suppose the price of sparkling water rose from $3 per gallon to $3.15 per gallon. This means that between 2011 and 2012, Caroline's nominal wage ___ by ___ and her real wage ___ by approximately ___.
Answer:
Caroline's paycheck each week is $12 per hour times the number of hours she works. Caroline thus currently earns a NOMINAL wage of $12 per hour. Suppose the price of sparkling water is $3 per gallon. The amount of sparkling water she can buy with her paycheck is 4 GALLONS of sparkling water, which represents her REAL wage.
When workers and firms negotiate compensation packages, they have expectations about the price level (and changes in the price level) and agree on a NOMINAL wage with those expectations in mind. If the price level turns out to be higher than expected, a worker's REAL wage is LOWER than both the worker and employer expected when they agreed to the wage.
Suppose that Caroline and her employer both expected inflation to be 3% between 2011 and 2012. They signed a two-year contract stipulating that Caroline would earn $12 per hour in 2011 and $12.36 per hour in 2012. However, actual inflation between 2011 and 2012 turned out to be 5% rather than the expected 3%. For example, suppose the price of sparkling water rose from $3 per gallon to $3.15 per gallon. This means that between 2011 and 2012, Caroline's nominal wage INCREASED by 3% and her real wage DECREASED by approximately 2%.
Explanation:
Nominal wages are measured in current dollars, while real wages measure the employee's purchasing power. If the inflation rate is higher than expected, the total amount of goods that an employee will be able to purchase will decrease, lowering their real wage.

Ben invest $10,000 at a rate of interest of 5 percent for 40 years. Which of the following statements about the return on the investment is true?
Answer:
a. Ben will receive a significant amount at the end of the investment period, due to the feature of compounding.
Multiple choice options
a. Ben will receive a significant amount at the end of the investment period, due to the feature of compounding.
b. Ben will receive no interest on his investment at the end of the investment period.
c. Ben will receive an interest of $5,000 at the end of ten years.
d. Ben will receive more money at 3 percent rate of interest instead of the existing rate.
e. Ben will receive more money at the end of 30 years compared to the money received at the end of 40 years.
Explanation:
Ben will be earning 5% of his investment of $10,000 every year for 40 years.
At the end of every year, the 5% earned will be added to $10,000. It means the principal and interest will increase at the end of every year. After 40 years, Ben will receive a huge amount, as indicated below.
The formula is A= p x ( 1 x r)^n
A = $10,000 x ( 1+0.05)^40
A = $10,000 x (1.05)^40
A= $10,000 x 7.039988
A= 70,399.88
A=$70,400
Ben invest $10,000 but will receive $70,400 after 40 years

How a society's culture affects the values found in the workplace is considerably important to an international business with operations in different countries.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
How a society's culture affects the values found in the workplace is considerably important to an international business with operations in different countries.
Answer:
Society has a series of elements that identify it due to its culture, beliefs, and traditions. These elements are part of the workplace in that employees and employers have a way to relate to each other in different moments, according to the culture and philosophy of the company.
So when a multinational company starts operations in another country, it has to be very aware of the culture, belief systems, and traditions of the people in that new country.
This is of the utmost importance to avoid misunderstandings. There has to be a kind of fusion of cultures to create a new one that serves the goals of the company, understanding ad respecting the local culture.
Without this understanding, the company is prone to have a bad mood, opposition, and negative attitudes from employees.
A firm decides to increase output by opening another plant. In doing so their average total cost changed from $50 with one plant to an average total cost of $40 with two plants. This implies the firm is experiencing:_______
Answer:
Economies of scale
Explanation:
The firm is experiencing economies of scale. Economies of scale result in a decreased average cost of production. Production increases and therefore the fixed cost is distributed more and average fixed cost becomes lesser and lesser as output increases. This leads to a decline in average total cost( As average total cost is the sum of average variable cost and average fixed cost, therefore a decline in average fixed cost leads to a decline in average total cost). This can be seen by an assymptotic average fixed cost for the firm which experiences economies of scale.

Which out of the following is phenomenon that leads to
Demand-Pull Inflation?
Select one:
a.
It is a situation of persistent rise in inflation along with dip in growth and increase in unemployment
b.
It is a situation when aggregate demand in an economy
outpaces aggregate supply
c.
It is a situation caused by an increase in prices of inputs
like labour, raw material etc
d.
It is a situation when a nation experiences very high and
accelerating inflation.
= It is a situation when aggregate demand in an economy
outpaces aggregate supply
Answer: It is a situation when aggregate demand in an economy
outpaces aggregate supply.
Explanation:
Demand pull inflation occurs when the total demand of goods and services for a particular economy is more than the total supply.
This will lead to a rise in the prices of the goods as the sellers will increase prices due to the higher demand. When this occurs, a demand pull inflation has happened.
It is indeed a condition wherein the aggregate demand through an economy exceeds market equilibrium.
Whenever the overall prices for consumer spending together in a given or specific economy exceed the existing inventory, thus the demands pull inflation arises.As a consequence of the increased demands, vendors would raise their pricing, resulting in some kind of a spike in the cost of the items. Whenever this happens, such demand-pull inflation must have occurred.
Thus the above response i.e., "option b" is correct.

Loggers are much __________ likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are not enforced.
Classify the source of market failure in each case listed.
a. A house party plays music at a very high volume, disturbing other residents in the neighborhood.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity.
Answer:
Loggers are much more likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are not enforced.
When property rights are not well enforced, ownership of the resource is not well defined either. This will lead to more people taking advantage of the resource like the loggers above. They will supply more wood because the ownership of their resource source is not well defined.
Options for the 2 questions below are Market Failure or Externality.
a. A house party plays music at a very high volume, disturbing other residents in the neighborhood. EXTERNALITY.
This is a negative externality. Negative externalities are when third parties suffer negative consequences as a result of transactions that they are not a party to. The neighbors are not playing music but it is disturbing them.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity. MARKET POWER.
The Utility company is not facing competition in this state and so can set the price it wants. This can lead to market failure simply because the company would have too much market power.
There are hundreds of high school students in need of algebra tutoring services. Dozens of companies offer tutoring services, and they view the quality of the tutoring at the different companies to be largely the same.
Number of Firms (few, one, or many)
Types of product(differentiated, unique, anything, or standardized)
Entry (challenging, impossible, or easy)
Market model (perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, or oligopoly)
Answer:
Number of firms: many. There are dozens of companies offering tutoring services, so we can safely say that the number of firms in this market is many.
Types of product: standardized. Consumers of this market, who are the students, view the quality of all algebra tutoring companies as being essentially the same.
Entry: easy. The only requirement to enter this market is to be able to teach algebra, so as long as a person knows algebra, this person would in theory be able to enter the market.
Market model: perfect competition. The market of algebra tutoring services in this case is closest to perfect competition. Both buyers and sellers are plenty, so neither can excercise market power. The product offered is standardized, which means that each firm's tutoring service is a perfect substitute for the tutoring services of the other firms. Finally, barriers of entry and exit are almost non-existant.
