Answer: 22%
Explanation:
Compound interest at 20% per year for 2 years is;
= (1 + 20%)² - 1
= 1.44 - 1
= 44%
The simple interest in 2 years will also be 44% for it to be equivalent.
For the yearly simple interest rate simply divide by 2 because simple interest does not get compounded.
= 44%/2
= 22%
Unemployment is often called a lagging or trailing indicator because unemployment tends to rise some time after the economy begins to slow down, and unemployment begins to fall again after the economy begins to rebound. Unemployment trails GDP because:
A) laws prevent firms from reducing employment during recessions and during expansions people are still collecting unemployment insurance.
B) firms reduce hours before laying off when the economy is in recession, and increase hours before hiring when the economy expands.
C) when the economy is in a recession, firms do not want to pay unemployment insurance, and during expansions they do not want the added cost of new employees.
D) the labor force increases during recessions and shrinks during expansions.
Answer:
B) firms reduce hours before laying off when the economy is in recession, and increase hours before hiring when the economy expands.
Explanation:
In the case when the output falls so the workers would not be laid off in a direct manner. In the first time the labor would be decreased so that the demand could be analyzed. The same would be happen in that case also where the growth picked up

And the other options are wrong
A company that makes organic fertilizer has supplied the following data:
Bags produced and sold 200,000
Sales revenue $1,560,000
Variable manufacturing expense $660,000
Fixed manufacturing expense $448,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $180,000
Fixed selling and administrative expense $214,000
Net operating income $58,000
The company's unit contribution margin is closest to:______
a. 15,128 units
b. 16,1 units
c. 168,986 units
d. 100,444 units
Answer: $3.60
Explanation:
Contribution Margin is calculated by deducting variable expenses from the sales.
= Sales - Variable manufacturing expense - Variable selling and administrative expense
= 1,560,000 - 660,000 - 180,000
= $720,000
Unit Contribution Margin = 720,000/200,000 bags sold
= $3.60
The options are not for the Unit Contribution Margin.

Mr. Ghani wants to deposit his savings of Rs. 50,000 in a bank which offers 8% interest compounded semi-annually to withdraw Rs. 2,500 at the end of each six months from the date of deposit. How many withdrawals will he or his heir (in case of his death) be able to make before the entire amount is exhausted
Answer:
How many withdrawals will he or his heir (in case of his death) be able to make before the entire amount is exhausted is explained below in detail explanation.
Explanation:
Let the no of withdrawals be n, then
Present value of n withdrawals = 50000
Interest rate per 6 months =8%/2 =4%
Withdraw amt/(Int rate)*(1-1/(1+interest)^n) = 50000
=> 2500/0.04*(1-1/1.04^n) = 50000
1/1.04^n = 0.2
1.04^n = 5
=> n = ln(5) / ln(1.04) = 41.03
Total 41 withdrawals of Rs.2500 can be made (with a smaller 42nd installment of less than Rs.2500)
Your savings account is currently worth $1,200. The account pays 5 percent interest compounded annually. How much will your account be worth 6 years from now?
Answer:
$2,010
Explanation:
The future value of the savings account in 6 years can be computed using the below future value formula:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=unknown future amount
PV=current worth of the savings account=$1,200
r=annual interest rate=5%
n=number of years envisaged=6
FV=$1,500*(1+5%)^6
FV=$1,500*(1.05)^6
FV=$1,500*1.3400956
FV=$2,010
A bond has a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and an 8% annual coupon and sells for $1,110. What is its yield to maturity (YTM)?
Answer:
YTM = 0.070616 or 7.0616% rounded off to 7.06%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity or YTM is the yield or return that an investor can earn on the bond if the bond is purchased today and is held till the bond matures. The formula to calculate the Yield to maturity of a bond is as follows,
YTM = [ ( C + (F - P / n)) / (F + P / 2) ]
Where,
C is the coupon paymentF is the Face value of the bondP is the current value of the bondn is the number of years to maturityCoupon payment = 1000 * 0.08 = 80
YTM = [ (80 + (1000 - 1110 / 20)) / (1000 + 1110 / 2)
YTM = 0.070616 or 7.0616% rounded off to 7.06%

1. How important is elasticity in the analysis of the market?
2. What are tge relying factors of demand elasticity?
Answer:
(1)Elasticity is an important economic measure, particularly for the sellers of goods or services, because it indicates how much of a good or service buyers consume when the price changes. ... If the market price goes up, firms are likely to increase the number of goods they are willing to sell.
(2) Many factors determine the demand elasticity for a product, including price levels, the type of product or service, income levels, and the availability of any potential substitutes. High-priced products often are highly elastic because, if prices fall, consumers are likely to buy at a lower price

The next dividend payment by ASAP, Inc., will be $2.00 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 4.00% growth rate, forever. If ASAP stock currently sells for $14.75 per share, what is the required return?
Answer:
r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return
Plugging in the values for D1, P0 and g, we can calculate the value of r to be,
14.75 = 2 / (r - 0.04)
14.75 * (r - 0.04) = 2
14.75r - 0.59 = 2
14.75r = 2 + 0.59
r = 2.59 / 14.75
r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%

Assume there are two countries (France and the United States) and two goods (Wine and Cheese). In France, labor productivity in Wine is 40 bottles per hour and 30 kilos per hour in Cheese. In the US, labor productivity in Wine is 12 bottles per hour and 12 kilos per hour in Cheese. Given this information, which country has the comparative advantage in Cheese
Answer:
United States
Explanation:
A comparative advantage results when a country's opportunity cost of producing good X is lower than the opportunity cost of producing good X in another country.
France
Opportunity cost of producing wine = 30/40 = 0.75 kilos of cheese
Opportunity cost of producing cheese = 40/30 = 1.33 bottles of wine
United States
Opportunity cost of producing wine = 12/12 = 1 kilo of cheese
Opportunity cost of producing cheese = 12/12 = 1 bottle of wine
France has a comparative advantage in the production of wine, and the US has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese.

Sheridan Corp is looking to invest in a three-year bond that makes semi-annual coupon payments at a rate of 5.825 percent. If these bonds have a market price of $985.63, what yield to maturity can she expect to earn?
Answer:
The annual YTM will be = 0.063496 or 6.3496% rounded off to 6.35%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity or YTM is the yield or return that an investor can earn on the bond if the bond is purchased today and is held till the bond matures. The formula to calculate the Yield to maturity of a bond is as follows,
YTM = [ ( C + (F - P / n)) / (F + P / 2) ]
Where,
C is the semi annual coupon payment in case of semi annual bondF is the Face value of the bond P is the current value of the bond n is the number of semi annual periods to maturity in case of the semi annual coupon bond
Assuming that the face value of the bond is $1000.
Coupon payment - semi annual= 1000 * 0.05825 * 6/12 = 29.125
Number of semi annual periods = 3 * 2 = 6
YTM - semi annual= [ (29.125 + (1000 - 985.63 / 6)) / (1000 + 985.63 / 2)
YTM - semi annual= 0.031748 or 3.1748% rounded off to 3.17%
The annual YTM will be = 0.031748 * 2 = 0.063496 or 6.3496% rounded off to 6.35%
Advertising is an expenditure that ultimately must be justified in terms of its effect on sales and profits, yet most evaluations of advertising are in terms of the effects on consumer attitudes. How do you account for this apparent mismatch
Answer: Emphasis must be made on sales and profits, with the central position being how the customer perceive this goods
Explanation:
Advertisement should be aimed at improving sales and expanding the market for goods. Advertisement is not just to bring customers but also inform them on updates about products. Although customers attitude are needed, this helps the manufacturer or producer to know feedback on what the market is saying, as this cannot be ignored. Emphasis must be made on sales and profits, with the central position being how the customer perceive this goods.
The apparent mismatch is producers looking solely to what the customers are saying rather than considering profit, market expansion, sales, all surrounded by the customer as the focus
Now that you know about the different types of bank accounts, relate this information to your chosen career path. Write a paragraph explaining the type(s) of bank accounts that you would need in order to save enough money for college or training for your career. Your answer should address the following questions:
Do you already have a bank account? If so, which type(s), and how do you use them? If not, then how could you go about opening a bank account of your own?
After learning about the different types of bank accounts, which one do you think offers the best options for saving money for college, daily living expenses, and an emergency fund?
Define a bounced check, or a check returned for insufficient funds. Explain a circumstance in which someone might bounce a check (give an example), and create and discuss a plan so that this does not happen to you.
Answer:
I pay for my expenses using either my debit card or cash that I withdraw from the ATM. It is very rare that I write a check to pay for my purchases. If there is an emergency situation, I withdraw money from one of my certificates of deposit.
I want to be a physicist, and I plan to earn a graduate degree in physics from Harvard University. I don’t have enough money saved up to pay for my tuition, even though I have two certificates of deposit accounts and one savings account. This means that I will probably have to take a student loan from my bank. However, I do have sufficient money in my checking account to pay for my daily expenses.
A bounced check is a check that a person has written but cannot pay for due to insufficient funds. For example, a person might send a check for a credit card bill but the person’s bank account may not have sufficient balance to pay this amount. To avoid check bouncing, I’ll always try and remember a rough figure of the money in my account. Additionally, wherever possible, I will pay my bill either in cash or by debit card.

My term deposit, on the other hand, has enough cash to cover our everyday needs.The bounced check has been written but cannot be paid because of a lack of money. The person may, for example, submit an account to cover a credit card debt, yet his or her bank account may not have adequate funds to cover the payment.

Suppose that the demand curve for chairs in Euroland is given by QD = 800,000 − 6,000P, and that the supply curve is given by QS = 14,500P - 225,000. The equilibrium price is €50.
The government is thinking about imposing a tax of €2.46 on chairs.
The price paid by buyers after the tax is
Answer:
The price paid by buyers after the tax is €51.74.
Explanation:
QD = 800,000 − 6,000P .................. (1)
QS = 14,500P - 225,000 ................... (2)
P* = equilibrium price = €50
Substituting P* into equation (1) to obtain equilibrium quantity, Q*, we have
Q* = 800,000 − 6,000(50)
Q* = 800,000 - 300,000
Q* = 500,0000
Rewrite equation (1), we have:
6,000P = 800,000 - QD
P = (800,000 / 6,000) - (1 / 6,000)QD
P = 133.333333333333 - 0.000166666666666667QD ............ (3)
Rewrite equation (2), we have:
14,500P = QS + 225,000
P = (1 / 14,500)QS + (225,000 / 14.500)
P = 0.0000689655172413793QS + 15.5172413793103 .......... (4)
With tax of €2.46, equation (4) becomes:
P = 0.0000689655172413793QS + 15.5172413793103 + 2.46
P = 0.0000689655172413793QS + 17.9772413793103
Equating equations (3) and (4), and solve for new equilibrium quantity after tax, QT, we have:
133.333333333333 - 0.000166666666666667QT = 0.0000689655172413793QT + 17.9772413793103
133.333333333333 - 17.9772413793103 = 0.000166666666666667QT + 0.0000689655172413793QT
115.356091954023 = 0.000235632183908046QT
QT = 115.356091954023 / 0.000235632183908046
QT = 489,560
To obtain the price paid by buyers after the tax, PT, we substitute QT = 489,560 for QD is equation (3) as follows
PT = 133.333333333333 - 0.000166666666666667(489,560)
PT = 133.333333333333 - 81.5933333333335
PT = 51.74
Therefore, the price paid by buyers after the tax is €51.74.
Company acquired land and buildings for $1,000,000. The land is appraised at $450,000 and the buildings are appraised at $800,000. The debits to the Land and Buildings accounts will be:
Answer:
Debit Land for $360,000
Debit Buildings for $640,000
Explanation:
The total acquisition cost has to be allocated based on the appraisal value of each of the Land and Buildings.
Therefore, the amount to be debited to the Land and Buildings accounts can be calculated as follows:
Total acquisition cost = $1,000,000
Land appraisal value = $450,000
Buildings appraisal value = $800,000
Total appraisal value = Land appraisal value + Buildings appraisal value = $450,000 + $800,000 = $1,250,000
Amount allocated to Land = (Land appraisal value / Total appraisal value) * Total acquisition cost = ($450,000 / $1,250,000) * $1,000,000 = $360,000
Amount allocated to Buildings = (Buildings appraisal value / Total appraisal value) * Total acquisition cost = ($800,000 / $1,250,000) * $1,000,000 = $640,000
Therefore, the debits to the Land and Buildings accounts will be the allocated amounts to each as follows:
Debit Land for $360,000
Debit Buildings for $640,000
a. Distinguish between physical asset markets and financial asset markets. What’s the difference between spot markets and futures markets?
b. Distinguish between money markets and capital markets. What’s the difference between primary markets and secondary markets?
c. Differentiate between private and public markets. Why are financial markets essential for a healthy economy and economic growth?
Answer:
a. Physical assets are tangible, they can be touched, seen, used. They generally lose value over time because they depreciate. On the other hand, financial assets are intangible, they only exist because documents say so. Their price can change if interest rates change of if market conditions change.
Spot markets are markets where securities, currencies or commodities are traded immediately. While futures markets represent the trading of securities, currencies or commodities at a future date.
b. Money markets are where investors trades short term securities, while capital markets are where stocks, bonds and other long term securities are traded.
Primary markets exist only when securities are issued for the first time, e.g. an IPO. The vast majority of trading occurs in secondary markets since a security can literally be traded hundreds of times and all of these operations, except for the initial issuance, take place in secondary markets.
c. Public markets are all the trading markets where publicly traded corporations exchange or trade securities, and anyone can buy them, e.g. NYSE, NASDAQ, etc. Private markets only involve trading of privately held securities, e.g. stocks of closely held corporations. Only certain investors can trade with private securities, they are not available to the general public.
Financial markets basically receive savings from private households and businesses, and they transfer them (as investments) to other companies that need these resources to operate and grow. There is a direct relationship between healthy financial markets and economic development.

Answer:
140 luncheons, 160 dinners
Explanation:
The number of luncheons and dinners that are sold will be 140 and 160, respectively.
What is the solution to the equation?The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.
Your catering business sells luncheons and dinners. Luncheons are $1,000 each, and dinners are $2,000 each. You sold 300 meals in total for a revenue of $460,000.
Let 'x' be the number of Luncheons and 'y' be the number of dinners. Then the equations are given as,
x + y = 300 ...1
1,000x + 2,000y = 460,000 ...2
From equations 1 and 2, then we have
1,000(300 - y) + 2,000y = 460,000
300,000 - 1,000y + 2,000y = 460,000
1,000y = 160,000
y = 160
Then the value of 'x' is given as,
x + 160 = 300
x = 300 - 160
x = 140
The number of luncheons and dinners that are sold will be 140 and 160, respectively.

A. gross profits
B. revenues
C. marginal contribution
D. profits
E. value
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Revenues.
Explanation:
To begin with, there is a significant difference between the words revenue and profit due to the fact that the first one indicates the amount of money that the person is receiving after making all of the sales that he can meanwhile the word profit refers to the amount of money that the person is taking home due to the fact that it reduces all the costs to the income gained and when that is done the person obtains the profit, the money that he receives from all the job done. Therefore that when all sales are completed the person will receive 5.99 million dollars in income and after that he will have to reduce the costs from that number and the final result will be the profits.
