Answer:

Given $1 million and the following quotes:

Bank C - $0.7551-61/€

Bank B - $0.7545-75/€

There are two different arbitrage strategies that can be attempted. The first is to buy euros from bank B, and then sell them to bank C:

Buy euros Bank B:

Euros to be bought = $1,000,000 x  Euro / $ 0.7575

Euros to be bought = 1,320,132.01 Euros

Sell euros Bank C:

Euros to be sold = 1,320,132.01 euros x $0.7551 / Euro

Euros to be sold = $996,831.68

The profit/loss can be calculated by subtracting the original starting amount of dollars by the post-arbitrage amount:

Profit/loss = $996,831.68 - $1,000,000

Profit/loss = -$3,168.32

The second strategy involves buy euros from bank C and selling them to bank B: Buy euros Bank C:

Euros to be bought = $1,000,000 x  Euro / $ 0.7561

Euros to be bought = 1,322,576.38 Euros

Sell euros Bank B:

Euros to be sold = 1,322,576.38 euro x 0.7545 / Euro

Euros to be sold = $997,883.88

The profit/loss can be calculated by subtracting the original starting amount of dollars by the post-arbitrage amount:

Profit/loss = $997,883.88 - $1,000,000

Profit/loss = -$2,116.12

In both instances a loss is made by the arbitrage. The arbitrager cannot make a profit using these quotes.

Answer:

stage/case 1 : -$2116.12

stage/case 2 : -$3168.32

Explanation:

Citibank NYC : $0.7551-61 = €1 ------------------ bank A

Barclays London : $0.7545-75 = €1 ------------- bank b

Given : $1000000

There are two ways Corporate treasury can make arbitrage profit i.e either buying Euro from Bank A and selling to Bank B or Buying Euro from Bank B and selling to Bank A

stage 1:

buying euro from bank A

$0.7561 = €1

$1000000 = € ( 100000 / 0.7561 ) = €1322576.38

selling to bank B

$0.7545 = €1

€1322576.38 = $ ( 1322576 / 0.7545 ) = $997883 .88

Profit made = $997883.38 - $1000000 =  -$2116.12

stage 2:

buying euro from bank B

$0.7575 = €1

$1000000 = € ( 1000000 / 0.7575 ) = € 1320131.01

selling to bank A

$0.7551 = €1

€1320131.01 = $ ( 1320131.01 * 0.7551 ) = $996831.68

profit made = $996831.68 - $1000000 = - $3168.32

in both cases/stages the treasury company didn't make any geographic arbitrage profit.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $220,000

Explanation:

Using the Accrual Method of Accounting means that revenue is only to be recorded when it is earned i.e. when services have been delivered.

Any revenue received when the services have not been delivered will be recorded as Unearned Revenue.

With $528,000 in subscription revenue, the monthly subscription is;

= 528,000/12

= $44,000

From June to December would be 7 months so they would have earned;

= 44,000 * 7

= $308,000

The amount that they have not earned but have received would therefore be;

= 528,000 - 308,000

= $220,000

<em>This amount will be recorded after they finish deliveries of magazines in next year May. </em>

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$900,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount excluding cash is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

% completion during the year is

= $3,000,000 ÷ ($3,000,000 + $6,000,000)

= 33.3333%

Now Total revenue to be recognized for the year is

= $12,000,000 × 33.33333%

= $4,000,000

Profit for the year is

= $4,000,000 - $3,000,000

= $1,000,000

Now Accounts receivables at the end of year is

= Billings - Collection

= $3,500,000 - $3,100,000 = $400,000

Now Cost and profits in excess of billings

= ($3,000,000 + $1,000,000) - $3,500,000

= $500,000

And, finally Total amount of current assets to be recognize at year end is

= $400,000 + $500,000

= $900,000

Scorpion4ik [409]

The correct answer is $35750

The amount of depreciation that should be allocated to drilling for the current period is $35750

<h3>How does depreciation work?</h3>

Depreciation is the process of subtracting the entire cost of an expensive item you purchased for your company. However, you write off portions of it over time rather than completing it altogether in one tax year. Depreciating assets gives you more control over your budget because you may schedule how much money is written off annually.

<h3>How much depreciation should be devoted to drilling throughout the current time frame?</h3>

Office costs: Salaries are $30,000, depreciation is $20,000, and advertising is $40,000. The total number of employees for drilling and grinding is 2500.

The overall net sales for drilling are 375 000, for grinding they are 450 000.

Drilling costs are 75,000, grinding costs are 125,000, and overall costs are 200000.

then,

Salaries: $30,000×\frac{1000}{2500}=$12,000

Depreciation: $20,000×\frac{75000}{200000}=$7,500

Advertising: $40,000×\frac{325000}{800000} =$16,250

Total $35,750
