2. A real exchange rate takes into account differences in countries' price levels.
True
3. A fried chicken dinner in Tennessee costs $10. Suppose Jared can convert $10 into 7.5 euros. He can purchase the same chicken dinner in Portugal for 7.5 euros. This relationship is called purchasing power parity.
True
4. After her plane touches down in Moscow, Maggie notices that $1 is worth 25 rubles (Russia's currency). A week later, Maggie returns to the airport to go home and notices that $1 is worth 28 rubles. The ruble has appreciated in value against the dollar.
False
5. The yen is Japan's currency. In the dollar/yen foreign exchange market, if more yen are being demanded than are being offered, the yen will depreciate in value relative to the dollar.
True
Explanation:
1. The meaning of currency rate can be illustrated with the US dollar exchange rate or currency rate with the Swiss francs. The rate tells the value of the dollar in relation to the Swiss francs.
2. Price levels in Country A and Country B determine the exchange rates between Country A's currency and Country B's. The price levels of these two countries are influenced by their economies' inflation and interest rates.
3. Purchasing Power Parity measures the prices of goods and services in different countries based on their dollar prices. It is a way of equalizing prices of goods and services in other countries with the dollar.
4. When US dollar increases in its rate relative to another Japanese yen, the US dollar has depreciated in value. But, the US dollar appreciates when the rate reduces relative to the Japanese yen.
5. Higher demand for the dollar by Japanese businesses than its supply depreciates a Japan's yen since according to the law of supply and demand, "the price (rate) goes up with increasing demand." The reverse is the case with higher supply than demand.

The structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. The economy is in:_______.
a. long-run equilibrium.
b. a recessionary gap producing more than Natural Real GDP.
c. a recessionary gap producing less than Natural Real GDP.
d. an inflationary gap producing Natural Real GDP.
e. an inflationary gap producing more than Natural Real GDP.
Answer:
a. long-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
In the circumstances that the structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. Then we can say that the economy is in a long-run equilibrium.
Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.
Frictional unemployment is a form of unemployment which is voluntary because employees which to change jobs or move to another better job.
Hence, the economy is in a long-run equilibrium because the rate of unemployment has become constant, thus, prices and wages will be adjusted in order to reach wages equilibrium level.
"A technical analyst has identified a resistance level for ABC stock at $81 and a support level at $75. The stock is currently trading at $77 and the analyst expects the stock to break the resistance level. Which order is appropriate to profit if the resistance level is broken?"
Answer:
Buy 100 ABC at $82 Stop
Explanation:
In the financial markets a resistance is an upper limit block on the market moving upward (buy). While the support is the lower limit on the market moving down (sell).
In this scenario we have a support of $75, resistance of $81 and the stock.is currently trading at $77. Just below the resistance.
If the analyst expects the stock to break the resistance of $81 then he should set a trade that is a buy since the market will go above $81.
When the market breaks a resistance it is expected to sky rocket, so the analyst will set a trade stop at $82, so that when the market is coming back down to the resistance level it will stop before it gets to $81.
On the other hand if a support is expected to be broken a sell trade is placed.

Create a business decision based on the company where you work, a small business you hope to own someday or just make something up - then identify, define and explain an incremental cost, opportunity cost and sunk cost. You will need to be somewhat creative in your response.
Answer and Explanation:
Incremental can be defined as the turn in the total amount as a specific decision. While Incremental revenue states that the change in total income which results from a specific criterion.
According to the incremental principle, A decision can be specified profitable when it is a growth in income instead of amount while sunk cost (which is already incurred and it can not be regained.
let us take an example I 'm starting a Pizza house. I select a spot close schools and colleges because my key focus group is students. I will nominate an experienced cook and will incur more costs (incremental costs) if the demand for the goods is high. I should obtain at least reasonable prices of raw materials from a wholesaler. The cost of setting up a Pizza house etc. would be minimized. I will launch this combo package to attract students and follow the aim of optimizing revenue rather than maximizing profit
Your university is considering two projects to increase enrollment: offering traditional classes from midnight to 6 a.m. or offering house call classes where the professor would visit your home to provide instruction. Use a simple scoring model with at least three criteria to evaluate these two potential projects and indicate which project should be chosen.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The criteria for our simple scoring model will bee the following:
Project 1. Midnight to 6:00AM
CRITERIA. WEIGHT SCORE
-Number of teachers 3 3
-Teachers salaries. 3 3
-Classroom cost. 1 1
-N. Students 2 2
Project 2. Home visit.
-Number of teachers 3 3
-Teachers salaries. 3 3
-Transportation. 3 3
-N. Students. 3 3
As we can see in the tables, project 1 is more feasible because depending on the number of students, the school can use one or two classrooms which means hiring teachers according to the number of students registered in a class.
On project 2, the variables increased the costs and the risk because depending on the number of students and the classes needed, the school would have to hire many teachers for different class times. This could be exponential. Another issue to consider is the fact that on project number 2, the school has to pay for the transportation of teachers to the student's home.
So in general terms, project 1 is more feasible.
rockwell corp just paid a dividend of .50. analysts expect their dividends to increase by 7% every year for the next 3 years, and then have a constant dividend growth rate of 2% after year 3. If your required return is 8% what is the present value of the stock?
Answer:
Price of share today = $9.74
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
Step 1 : PV of dividend from year 1 to 3
PV = D × (1+r)^(-n)
D- dividend receivable in a particular year, r- required rate of return, n- year
Year PV of Dividend
1 0.50 × 1.07^1 ×1.08^(-1) = 0.495
2 0.50 × 1.07^2 ×1.08^(-2) = 0.491
3 0.50× 1.07^3× 1.08^(-3) = 0.486
Step 2 : PV of dividend from year 4 to infinity
PV (in year 3 terms) of dividend= 0.50× 1.07^3 ×1.02/(0.08-0.02) = 10.41
PV in year 0 terms = 10.41 × 1.08^(-3) = 8.27
Total Present Value = 0.495 + 0.491 + 0.486 + 8.27 = 9.738
Price of share today = $9.74

If your formulas are correct, you should get the correct answers to the following questions.
a. What is the ROI?
b. What is the residual income? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Why is the residual income positive?
Answer:
ROI 15%
Residual Income $1,350,000
Explanation:
Residual Income is the difference between net income of the company and the required rate of return. It determines the excess of income generate than the minimum return. The formula to calculate the residual income is,
RI = Net operating Income - (Required rate of return * Cost of operating assets)
RI = $4,500,000 - (21% * $15,000,000 )
RI = $1,350,000
ROI = [tex]\frac{Net Operating Income}{Capital Employed}[/tex]
Capital Employed = Sales - Average operating assets
ROI = 15%
Residual income is positive when the department has meet the minimum return requirement. Minimum return is the return that is required by the company stakeholders. The particular projects and activities are selected on the basis of residual income.

8 6
a.) No, the process is not in control.
b.) Not enough information to determine this.
c.) Yes, the process is in control.
Answer: c.) Yes, the process is in control.
Explanation:
For the process to be in control, the number of defects have to be between the Upper Control Limit and the Lower Control limits of the c-chart which can be used to measure defects of irregularities per unit.;
UCL = C-bar + z*√(c-bar)
LCL = C-bar - z*√(c-bar)
C - Bar = [tex]\frac{Number of Dfects}{Number of shirts}[/tex]
C - Bar = [tex]\frac{4+6+3+1+5+6+4+6}{8}[/tex]
C - Bar = 4.375
z = 3 when using the 3 sigma control
UCL = C-bar + z*√(c-bar)
UCL = 4.375 + 3 * √(4.375)
UCL = 10.65
LCL = C-bar - z*√(c-bar)
LCL = 4.375 - 3 * √(4.375)
LCL = -1.9
LCL = 0 (Lower limit minimum should be 0 at least)
Defects are within the control limits. The process is in control.
The Process is in Control when the Upper Control Limit is above Zero atleast and Lower Control Limit should be Zero. Hence option is C is correct.
Upper Control Limit and Lower Control LimitTo Answer the given question, we need to find the value of UCL and LCL. The Formula for the UCL and LCL are as follows:
UCL = C-bar + z*√(c-bar)LCL = C-bar - z*√(c-bar)Where C- Bar is average of total numbers of defect shirts, hence value = 4.375, and z is sigma value control thus value will be 3.
Solving these equation will give result UCL as 10.65, and LCL as -1.9. Therefore, correct option is C. Yes, the process is in control.

Research online and find two software tools for bank account reconciliation. Write a 500-word report comparing their features and benefits.
Answer:
1. CashBook
2. BlackLine
Explanation:
1. Cashbook can provide bank reconciliations quick, easily and this software also claims to be affordable. The Cashbook Bank reconciliation module allows reconciliation between the organizations system and the bank accounts statement. CashBook software enables an organizations finance department to set rules which will be followed when the software is performing Bank reconciliation.
2. BlackLine is unified cloud for finance and accounting. The software is updated continuously to provide up to date financial calculations. This software provide accurate bank reconciliation to ease the process of preparing financial statements. The tasks BlackLine can perform includes, balance sheet integrity, close process management and compliance. This software is closely designed with SAP.
When a software is used to perform bank reconciliation the results are accurate and quick as compared to an employee carrying out the task. Bank Reconciliation requires the organizations general ledger to be compared with the bank accounts statement to find out any transactions that are not recorded in the system or are not performed by the bank at the given time. The transactions identified as not recorded in the ledger are recorded in the system by the authorized personnel mostly these transactions are bank charges of which the organization and finance departments employees are unaware of, the rest of the transactions are initiated at the request of the finance department employees (authorized personnel). If a person performs this task it can take hours and hours for that employee to reconcile a single account, as the process will be carried out manually but on the other hand if the same task which is bank reconciliation is performed over the software can provide the results in minutes. The employee performing bank reconciliation can also be utilized to perform other tasks of the department as required this may include preparing invoices, booking receivables, preparing receivable aging and so on, but a software cannot perform these tasks or if the software can then further modules of the software might required to be purchased in order to benefit from other financial services, while on the other hand an employee can have multiple responsibilities. The amount for which an employee for the relevant role can be hired and the amount for which the software is available can be relevant as both are giving benefits, if the software is cheaper but reliable than hiring an employee then the software should be purchased and if hiring an employee for bank reconciliation is cheaper as compared to buying the licence of the software then the employee must be hired as it will save up the organizations cost which can be utilized elsewhere.

Answers may vary.)
Cashbook
Cashbook is an online software tool that offers bookkeeping and accounting solutions. It offers bank reconciliation solutions to help consumers reconcile bank accounts. It offers consumers an online general ledger to keep track of account transactions. Consumers can link their bank accounts directly to Cashbook so the software can automatically download and update the general ledger. Importing bank statements off the Internet means consumers don’t have to waste time typing everything out. Cashbook can make consumers confident that their deductions and additions to the account balance are done correctly. Once an account is balanced, the software allows consumers to search and sort through their data and print off reports. Cashbook also provides customer support so the consumer can have help learning how to use the software. It also offers how-to videos on different aspects of the application. The best aspect of Cashbook is that it is free.
Once consumers set up their records, they are ready to enter the bank opening balances. Without accurate opening balances, the reports created by Cashbook will be incorrect. Go to Cashbook Settings, then to Financial Settings to input the information.
QuickBooks
QuickBooks is an accounting program that keeps track of all your financial transactions. Check writing, money withdrawals, deposits, incurred bank charges, and fees are recorded in QuickBooks and reconciled with the bank’s records. To begin the reconciliation process, consumers first need to compare the beginning balance on their bank statements to the beginning balance on QuickBooks. This establishes that the information in QuickBooks is correct. In order to have correct information, you have to clear transactions directly in the account register within the software. To do this, consumers have to go into their bank account, choose Begin Reconciliation, select the appropriate account, and in the Statement Data field, enter the date of the bank statement to be reconciled. Compare that amount to the amount on the bank statement. Next, find the ending balance on the bank statement and enter it in the Ending Balance field. Also enter any service charges or interest earned. In the field for service charges, consumers enter the name of the expense account to track service charges. For interest, enter the name of the income account to track interest income. QuickBooks will then reconcile the account.
If the beginning balance and the statement don’t match, QuickBooks has a system for checking and correcting the issue. QuickBooks not only offers reconciliation and reports, but also offers graphs, bill tracking, overdue notices, and other services.
Both Cashbook and QuickBooks are accounting software programs to help consumers reconcile their accounts. Cashbook offers a more basic interface for reconciling accounts. It also requires less data entry than QuickBooks. However, it relies only on the information from the bank’s site. This means if there is an error on the bank side, Cashbook will not catch it. QuickBooks requires more data entry, but does more comparison as well. There are more entry fields for line items, such as service charges and interest earned. It also offers additional services that Cashbook doesn’t. When comparing the two, QuickBooks appears to offer consumers more options, reminders, and services.

The offering price of an open-end fund is $12.30 per share and the fund is sold with a front-end load of 5%. What is its net asset value?
Answer:
$11.685
Explanation:
Calculation for the net asset value
Since the front-end load is 5% this means that we are going to deduct 5% from 100% which will give us 95%, therefore 95% will be our front-end load percentage.
Now let find the Net asset value
Using this formula

The annual growth rate in North Metropolania is 2.33%, while in East Vice City it is 7%. How many years will it take for East Vice City to catch up to the real per capita GDP of North Metropolania
Answer:
31 years
Explanation:
we have to prepare two future value equations:
FV = $8,000 x (1 + 0.0233)ⁿFV = $2,000 x (1 + 0.07)ⁿnext we must equal them:
$8,000 x (1 + 0.0233)ⁿ = $2,000 x (1 + 0.07)ⁿ
4 x (1 + 0.0233)ⁿ = (1 + 0.07)ⁿ
4 = 1.07ⁿ / 1.0233ⁿ = (1.07 / 1.0233)ⁿ
4 = 1.0456367ⁿ
log4 = n x log1.0456367
0.602 = n x 0.01938
n = 0.602 / 0.01938 = 31.06 ≈ 31 years
