Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Equity = 140 Millions

Debt = 155 Millions

Debt Equity Ratio = Debt ÷ Equity

                             = 155 Millions ÷ 140 Million

                              = 1.11

KCE is financing its new project with 25 Millions

Let the New debt issued by x   and the New equity financed be (25-x) .

Debt Equity Ratio = Debt ÷ Equity

1.11 = (155 + x) ÷ (140 + 25 - x)

1.11 = (155 + x) ÷ (165 - x)  

183.15 - 1.11x = 155 + x

28.15 = 2.11 x

x = 13.34

Option (a) is the most nearest to this answer.

New Debt = 155 + 13.34

                 = 168.34 Millions

New Equity = 140 + 11.66

                    = 151.66 Millions

Should Japanese companies such as Nintendo and Toyota with business in Mexico have hedged against adverse changes in the peso/ye
svetoff [14.1K]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

These companies with the businesses in Mexico are not affected due to the adverse exchange rates and have nullified it, because they have their operations in the neighboring nations such as Canada and USA. Here, These companies do not use Yen as a currency for the exchange and since Mexico has NAFTA agreement with the USA and Canada, then these companies take the benefits of the duty free trade. Hence, a superior quality, scale of production and savings in duty and tariff, will make them get better off and nullify the impact of the exchange rate.

So, these companies have done it with the help of use of local currency and the US dollar as exchange currencies, and benefit of free trade with the member nations of NAFTA. These companies can also export the goods to those nations such as Brazil, Argentina to cater the demand in these nations. Here also, Yen will not be used.

choli [55]

Answer:

Consumers are basis for any economy to work out.It is the consumers for which the country works and makes sure to fulfil the demand of the market. New businesses come into existence because they create needs in the consumers and fulfil those needs. These businesses become a part of the economy and therefore give an input.

If there are no consumers, there will be o demands and the produces will have no needs or demands to fulfil which would lead to less production and therefore leading towards the fall of the economy.
