Answer:

From the countries point of view with the weaker currency, their goods are relatively cheaper to other countries, and other countries goods are relatively more expensive to this country (Say Country A) as they have a weaker currency.

From the point of view of Country B, with a stable currency, Country A's goods are relatively cheaper because they have a weaker currency.

Due to this scenarios, Country B will export less to Country A than import because Country B will be buying more of Country A's product as it is relatively cheaper. It will export less to Country A because Country B's products are relatively more expensive to Country A due to their weak currency.

Answer:

a. What is the present value of the free cash flows projected during the next 4 years?

the NPV of the firm's cash flows = $3/1.09 + $6/1.09² + $8/1.09³ + $16/1.09⁴ = $2,752,294 + $5,050,080 + $6,177,468 + $11,334,803 = $25,314,645

b. What is the firm’s horizon, or continuing, value?

to calculate terminal or horizon value at year 4, we must use the Gordon growth model formula:

terminal value = [$16,000,000 (1 + 3%)] / (9% - 3%) = $16,480,000 / 6% = $274,666,667

c. What is the firm’s total value today?

firm's total present value = $25,314,645 + ($274,666,667/1.09⁴) = $219,895,463

d. What is an estimate of Brandtly’s price per share?

Brandtly's share price = (firm's present value - total debt) / outstanding stocks = ($219,895,463 - $75,000,000) / 7,500,000 million stocks = $19.32 per stock

LO 8.5Identify several causes of a favorable material quantity variance.

yan [13]

Answer:

Possible causes of material quantity variance:

1. The use of sub-standard material

2. The use of unskilled labour

3. Wastage of material

Explanation:

Material quantity variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. The use of sub-standard material reduces the quality of output thereby resulting to unfavorable material quantity variance. The use of unskilled labour also leads to unfavorable material quantity variance. Wastage of material due to low quality of inputs also results to unfavorable material quantity variance.
