Answer:

Kangaroo Auto offers the better deal

If the I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Explanation:

Here we need to compare the present value of the two options;

Present value is the worth today of an amount or series of amount payable or receivable in the future period.

Where a series of equal amount is receivable or payable in the future it is called an annuity.

One of the payment options includes an annuity. Therefore, we need to work out the present value of the annuity. This is done using the following formula:

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

where A = equal cash flow, r- rate per period, n - no. of periods

A = 300, r- rate per month - 12%/12 = 1% , n= 30

PV = 300 ×(1- (1+0.01)^(-30))/0.01

= 300 × 25.877

=7,742.31

Now we can work out he cost of each option and comapare them in today's Dollar:

Option 1 : Kangaroo Autos

Total cost of option 1 = deposit + PV of annuity

= 1000 + 7,742.31

cost = 8,742.31

Option 2: Turtle Motors:

Price = Car price - Discount

= $10,000 - $1000

cost = $9,000

Kangaroo Auto offers a better deal.

If I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Komok [63]

Amounts withheld from employee's earnings for the employee income tax is considered a liability by the employer until the government is paid

What is liability?

Liability means the obligation that one party owes another, whose settlement requires the indebted party to transfer cash or equivalent value of other benefits commensurate to the liability to the other party.

In this case, the employees owe the government income taxes, whereby the employees have discharged the obligation by having the employers deduct them from their earnings.

The onus is now on the employers to make payments in respect of the income taxes withheld to the tax authority, prior to which the taxes are treated as the employer's liability.

Focus groups should be comprised of how many people? Three to five people Six to eight people Eight to 12 people 10 to 12 people

gregori [183]

Answer:

3-5 people

Explanation:

It's called a focus group for a reason. If there were 8-12, or 10-12 people, the others might not be able to focus. But there are people who need others to focus, so 3-5 would be a perfect number per group.

hope it helps! :3

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure

Explanation:

Alitalia can construct the money market hedge as follows

1. borrow Euro whose present value is equal to the amount to be paid.

2. convert it to foreign currency at the current spot rate.

3. place it in a deposit

4. make the payment when the deposit reaches maturity

PV of payment = 10000000/1.05

= 9523809.525

converting in to Euro at the spot rate we get 6802721.09 Euros

so Alitalia has to borrow the above amount and convert it and invest it at 5%.

now the payable amount from the loan is 6802721.09(1+0.03) = 7006802.72 Euros

Hence Alitalia has effective managed to locl in a forward rate of 1.427$/euros (10000000/7006802.72)$/euros

Therefore, alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure
