The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
Shen is working in a country where the inflation rate is high.
He gets a salary every two weeks.
After receiving his salary he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he is going to need over the next two weeks.
He converts the remaining salary in a more stable currency.
He does this in order to prevent his salary from losing purchasing power.
This effort that he is making to prevent his real income from losing value is called the shoe-leather cost of inflation.
The shoe-leather cost can be defined as the cost of time and effort made to prevent the cash holdings from losing their value.
Answer:
A. 3.8 YEARS
B YES
C $325.91
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
payback period = amount invested / cash flows
$1,900 / $500 = 3.8 years
the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable year
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-1900
cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $500
I = 4%
NPV = $325.91
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
1 pound = $1.60
1 pound = $1.50
So, there is a depreciation in the value of pound relative to the dollar and appreciation in the value of dollar relative to the pound.
Now, suppose a resident of united states purchase some quantity of goods(say, 20 shirts) from the seller in United kingdom.
Price of each shirt = 2 pounds
Hence,
Before the change in exchange rate, then the buyer have to pay in dollars:
= 20 × (2 × $1.60)
= 20 × 3.2
= $64
After the change in exchange rate, then the buyer have to pay in dollars:
= 20 × (2 × $1.50)
= 20 × 3
= $60
Hence, the amount paid by the resident of united states reduced because of the fall in exchange rate. Now, they have to pay less for the same amount of commodities. This shows that there is an appreciation in the currency of US relative to UK.
the answer is d. discretionary changes in government spending and taxes
