Suppose the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can$1.12 and the six-month forward rate is Can$1.14.
A. Which is worth more, a U.S. dollar or a Canadian dollar?
B. Assuming absolute PPP holds, what is the cost in the United States of an Elkhead beer if the price in Canada is Can$2.85?
C. Is the U.S. dollar selling at a premium or a discount relative to the Canadian dollar?D. Which currency is expected to appreciate in value?E. Which country do you think has higher interest rates - the United States or Canada?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

a)

1$ = Can $1.12

It takes a value of 1 U.S dollar to have 1.12 Canadian dollars.  This signifies that the U.S dollar is worth more than Canadian dollars.

b)

Assuming that the absolute Purchasing Power Parity PPP holds,

Since 1$ = Can $1.12, the cost  in the United States of an Elkhead beer, if the price in Canada is Can$2.85 can be determined to be:

= [tex]\dfrac{2.85}{1.12}[/tex]

= $2.545

c)

Yes, the U.S. dollar is selling at a premium relative to the Canadian dollar.

This is because we are being told that the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can $1.12 & in six (6) months time the forward rate will be Can $1.14.

d)

The U.S dollar is expected to appreciate in value because it is trading at a premium in the forward market.

e)

Canada has higher interest rates. This determined by using the formula:

= [tex]\dfrac{(\dfrac{Fwd}{Spot }-1)}{n}[/tex]

where; n= numbers of years = 6 month/12 month = 0.5 year

Then;

[tex]=\dfrac{(\dfrac{1.14}{1.12 }-1)}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{(1.0178-1)}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{(0.0178)}{0.5}[/tex]

= 0.0356

= 3.56%

What is the percentage change in the PV of $100 due in 1 year when the interest rate changes from 5% to 10%?
a. Decreases by 60.6%
b. Decreases by 4.33%
c. Decreases by 4.5%
d. Does not change
e. Increases by 4.5%
f. Increases by 60.6%

Answers

Answer:

c. Decreases by 4.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the percentage change in the PV

First step is to calculate the present value when r is 5%

PV = 100 / (1 + 5%)^1

PV = $95.24

Second step is to calculate present value when r is 10%

PV = 100 / (1 + 10%)^1

PV = $ 90.91

Last step is to calculate the percentage change in the PV

Percentage change in the PV = (90.91 - 95.24) * 100 / 95.24

Percentage change in the PV = - 4.55% (Decrease)

Therefore the Percentage change in the PV Decreases by 4.5%

Good faith in collective bargaining between a union and an employer does not include:_____.
a. being willing to compromise.
b. negotiating with the belief that an agreement is possible.
c. bargaining with the authority to enter into an agreement.
d. rejecting a proposal without offering a counterproposal.

Answers

Answer:

Good faith in collective bargaining between a union and an employer does not include:_____.

d. rejecting a proposal without offering a counterproposal.

Explanation:

Good faith bargaining involves a negotiation in which the employer and the union work amicably to achieve a reasonable agreement because they both have positive attitudes for positive outcomes.  Therefore, for employers and workers’ unions to bargain in good faith always, they need to meet at reasonable intervals to reach agreements with respect to wages, hours, and others employment terms and conditions.  Whenever a stalemate occurs, because unions and employers cannot agree without rancor, the unions may file unfair labor practice charges, wherein they allege that employers are not bargaining in good faith.

If the government sets a quota of 300 pounds of fish caught per day, then fish will sell for ________ more per pound than the cost of catching the fish.

Metlock Company has identified that the cost of a new computer will be $44000, but with the use of the new computer, net income will increase by $5000 a year. If depreciation expense is $3000 a year, the cash payback period is:_______
a. 22.0 years.
b. 5.5 years.
c. 8.8 years.
d. 14.7 years.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Cash payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Cash payback period = amount invested / cash flows

Cash flows = net income + depreciation = $5000 + $3000 = $8000

$44,000 / $8,000 = 5.5 years

Zhang Industries budgets production of 220 units in June and 230 units in July. Each unit requires 1.5 hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $12.40 per hour. The indirect labor rate is $19.40 per hour. Compute the budgeted direct labor cost for July.

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

Explanation:

Given:

Production in July = 230 units

Hours of direct labor  = 1.5 hours per unit

Direct Labor rate = $12.40 per hour

Indirect labor rate = $19.40 per hour.

Find:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July

Computation:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (Production in July)( Hours of direct labor)( Direct Labor rate)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (230)(1.5)(12.4)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

For the period from 2019 to​ 2020, a company reports the​ following: Percentage change in sales 30​% increase Percentage change in cost of goods sold 20​% increase Percentage change in gross profit 25​% increase If sales are $5,000,000 in​ 2019, what are sales in​ 2020?

Answers

Answer:

If sales are $5,000,000 in​ 2019, the sales in 2020 will be

$6,500,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                 2019     2020      Change

Percentage change in sales    100%     130%     30​% increase

Percentage change in cost of

  goods sold                             100%    120%     20​% increase

Percentage change in

 gross profit                             100%    125%     25​% increase

Sales are in​ 2019 =       $5,000,000   $6,500,000 ($5 million * 130/100)

Alternatively, the 30% increase can be computed, to get $1,500,000 ($5,000,000 * 30%).  This change in sales is then added to the 2019 sales figure to get $6,500,000, which is the sales in 2020.

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%

Answers

Answer:

Arithmetic average return = 6.25%

Geometric average return = 5.89%

Explanation:

Annual returns of 4%,  9%,  -6% and  18%

Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n

= 25%/4

= 6.25%

Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n  - 1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1

Geometric average return  = 1.25789^1/4-1

Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1

Geometric average return = 0.0589

Geometric average return = 5.89%

During the year, the company produced and sold 40,000 units of product at a selling price of $14.43 per unit. There was no beginning inventory of product at the beginning of the year. What is the contribution margin for the year

Answers

Answer:

$392,200

Explanation:

Calculation for the contribution margin for the year

Using this formula

Contribution Margin= Sales-Variable costs

Let plug in the formula

Contribution Margin=(14.43 per unitsx 40,000 units) - $185,000

Contribution Margin=$577,200-$185,000

Contribution Margin=$392,200

Calculation for variable costs

Manufacturing $114,000

Marketing: 31,000

Administrative: 40,000

Total variable costs=$185,000

Therefore the contribution margin for the year will be $392,200

Answers

Answer: $11220

= $33,000 × 34%

= $33000 × 0.34

= $11220

Chang Industries has 2,800 defective units of product that have already cost $14.80 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $5.80 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $5.20 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $22.60. The Incremental Income or loss on reworking the units is:_______.A. $32,480 loss.B. $32,480 income.C. $14,560 loss.D. $47,040 income.E. $48,720 income.

Answers

Answer:

A. $32,480

Explanation:

Calculation for The Incremental Income or loss on reworking the units

First step is to calculate the incremental revenue from reworking

Incremental revenue from reworking= ($22.60- $5.80)

Incremental revenue from reworking (= $16.80

Second step is to calculate net benefit per unit to rework

Net benefit per unit to rework= 16.80- 5.20

Net benefit per unit to rework = $11.60

Last step is to calculate the incremental income from reworking

Incremental income from reworking= ($11.60* 2,800 units)

Incremental income from reworking = $32,480

Therefore The Incremental Income or loss on reworking the units is:$32,480
