Under a flexible exchange rate system a decline in the value of a currency relative to other currencies is a called a(n) _______ and under a fixed exchange rate system a decrease in the official value of a currency is called a(n) ________.
Answer:
Depreciation:devaluation.
Explanation:
Under a flexible exchange rate system a decline in the value of a currency relative to other currencies is a called a depreciation. This could be as a result of factors such as government monetary policies, varying interest rates, aversion of risks by investors, inflation etc.
On the other hand, under a fixed exchange rate system a decrease in the official value of a currency is called a devaluation. This is mainly due to the government monetary policy, so as to shore up the export of a country and to improve foreign trade.
Suppose that foreigners had reduced confidence in U.S. financial institutions and believed that privately issued U.S. bonds were more likely to be defaulted on. U.S. net exports would a. rise which by itself would increase aggregate demand. b. rise which by itself would decrease aggregate demand. c. fall which by itself would decrease aggregate demand. d. fall which by itself would increase aggregate demand.
Answer:
Option C, fall which by itself would decrease aggregate demand, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option C is correct because the reduction in the confidence level in U.S financial institutions will decrease the U.S net export. Moreover, if the foreigner feels insecure about the U.S bonds then this insecurity will induce them to demand less. Therefore, when the net export decreases the aggregate demand will also fall. Thus we can say option C is right.
A company is evaluating the use of insurance to mitigate its risk in the event of a market downturn. The company estimates that it has a total risk of 20% impact to its net income if a market downturn occurs, and the company currently has a net income of $150,000. At what cost should the company take out insurance to mitigate this risk?
Available Options are:
a. $25,000 premium
b. $100,000 premium
c. $150,000 premium
d. $200,000 premium or above
Answer:
Option A. $25,000 Premium
Explanation:
The risk of loosing 20% of the company net income would be = $150,000 * 20% = $30,000
Now this is the highest cost the company could bear to insure the 20% downturn in the market. The cost below $30,000 amount available in the option is $25,000 is the right option here.
Hence Option A is correct.
Phyllis bought a beach townhouse for $475,000 and put down $50,000 in earnest money. At closing, she paid $150,000, the balance of her intended down payment. The mortgage tax in the area is $.35 per $100 (or portion thereof). Calculate what Phyllis will pay for the mortgage tax.
Answer:
$962.50
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost of beach townhouse = $475,000
Amount payed in earnest = $50,000
At closing = $150,000
Tax fee = $0.35 per $100
Total down-payment = $(50,000 + 150,000) = $200,000
Amount being taxed = $(475,000 - 200,000)
Amount being taxed = $275,000
Total tax paid :
($275,000 / $100) × $0.35
2750 * $0.35 = $962.50
= $962.50
Black Oil Company considered building a service station in a new location. The owners and their accountants decided that this was the profitable thing to do. However, soon after they made this decision, both the interest rate and the cost of building the station changed. In which case do these changes both make it less likely that they will now build the station?
A. Interest rates rise and the cost of building the station rises.
B. Interest rates rise and the cost of building the station fills.
C. Interest rates fall and the cost of building the station rises.
D. Interest rates fall and the cost of building the station falls.
Answer:
A. Interest rates rise and the cost of building the station rises.
Explanation:
An increase in interest rate means that the amount of money that will be paid back on a loan borrowed for a given period of time will increase. A risen interest rate discourages borrowing, and spending, as people do not want to pay a lot of money on loans collected. If interest rate increases, the company best postpone the project to a later time when interest rate falls. If the cost of building the new station increases, it means more capital than normal is now needed to build this service station, which will discourage investing in the project at that time period. So an increase in interest rate and cost of building the station, makes it less likely that the company builds the station in this time period.

Asset turnover = 2.4
Profit Margin = 0.033 OR 3.3%
Explanation:
All of the above requirements can be calculated as follows according to their formula
Working
Average asset = (Assets at beginning + assets at end )/ 2
Average assets = (4025 + 4970 )/ 2
Average assets = $4497.5
Requirement A. Return on assets
ROA = Net Income / Average assets
ROA = $359.8 / $4497.5(w)
ROA = 0.08 or 8%
Requirement 2 Asset turnover
Asset turnover = Net Sales / Average assets
Asset turnover = $10,794 / $4497.5

Flapjack Corporation had 7,824 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.03 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 978 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.1 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $12.75 per hour. Round your answer to the nearest cent. The direct labor time variance is a.$5,625.46 unfavorable b.$5,625.46 favorable c.$11,222.55 unfavorable d.$11,222.55 favorable
Answer:
$11,220 Unfavorable
Explanation:
As we know that:
Labor Time Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Standard time for actual output - Actual time worked)
Here,
Standard rate per hour= 12.75$
Standard time for actual units = 978 units * 7.1 hour per unit = 6,944 Hours
Actual hours worked are 7,824 hours
By putting the above values, we have:
Labour time variance = $12.75 * (6,944 - 7,824) = $11,220 Unfavorable

A firm has a stock price of $68.00 per share. The firm's earnings are $85 million, and the firm has 20 million shares outstanding. The firm has an ROE of 11% and a plowback of 70%. What is the firm's PEG ratio
Answer:
2.1
Explanation:
A firm has a stock price of $68.00 pet share
The firm's earning are $85,000,000
The firm has $20,000,000 outstanding
They have an ROE of 11% and a Plow back ratio of 70%
The first step is to calculate the EPS
EPS= $85,000,000/$20,000,000
= $4.25
P/E= $68.00/$4.25
= 16
g= 11×70
= 770/100
= 7.7%
Therefore the PEG ratio can be calculated as follows
PEG ratio= 16/7.7
= 2.1
Hence the firm PEG ratio is 2.1
The PEG ratio that is the Price to Earnings Growth ratio is the ratio analytical tool that measures the expected growth in the earnings with the change in the share prices. It determines the valuation of stock amongst various other stocks.
The firms' PEG ratio is 2.1.
Computation:
Given,
Stock price =$68 per share
Total earning =$85,000,000
Outstanding balance =$20,000,000
ROE =11%
Plowback ratio =70%
[tex]\rm{PEG ratio}=\dfrac{\text{P/E}}{\text{Annual Growth rate}}\\\\=\dfrac{\$16}{7.70\%}\\\\=2.1[/tex]

Suppose that Prince Puckler's Ice Cream sells 100 cones each day. It sells each cone for $3, its average variable cost is $2.50, marginal cost is $3, and the average total cost is $3.10. From this, one knows the firm:
Answer:
The firm should continue operation
Explanation:
Under the production cost theory, the comparison of price (P) and average variable cost (AVC) is used to decide whether a firm should continue operation or shut down under the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1: If P > AVC, continue operation
Scenario 2: If P < AVC, shut down.
Under scenario 1, it is better for a firm to continue operation since P is greater than AVC. This implies that the firm can fully pay for its variable cost of production and partially pay for a part of the fixed cost but not fully. As result, loss will be minimized by the firm if it continues operation.
Under scenario 2, the better decision for the firm is to shut down operation. The reason is that the firm is unable to even fully pay for its variable cost. In order to minimize cost, the firm is advised to shut down operation.
From the question, the $3 price of Prince Puckler's Ice Cream is greater than its $2.50 average variable cost. This implies that Prince Puckler falls under Scenario 1 above. Therefore, Prince Puckler should continue operation despite that the $3 prie is lower than $3.10 average total cost. This is because the variable cost will be fully covered while a part of the fixed cost will also be covered but not fully. Doing this will minimize total cost for Prince Puckler.
Therefore, one knows from the information in the question that the firm the firm should continue operation.

Answer:
P/E ratio = 4
Explanation:
the price to earnings ratio formula:
P/E ratio = stock's market price / earnings per share
earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / average outstanding shares
net income = $1,000,000

If the exchange rate is 5 Egyptian pounds per U.S. dollar, a watch that costs $25 US dollars costs a. 125 Egyptian pounds b. 50 Egyptian pounds c. 5 Egyptian pounds d. None of the above is correct.
Answer:
A. 125 Egyptian pounds
Explanation:
Let’s create a proportion using the following setup.
pounds/dollars=pounds/dollars
We know that 5 Egyptian pounds is equal to 1 dollar.
5 pounds/ 1 dollar= pounds/dollars
We don’t know how many pounds are in 25 dollars. We can say x pounds are in 25 dollars.
5 pounds / 1 dollar = x pounds/ 25 dollars
5/1=x/25
We want to find out what x is, so we need to get x by itself.
