Ulleksa [173]

Solution:

Given ,

1 Year interest rates in Europe = 4 %

1 Year interest rates in the U.S. = 2 %

You are translating $200,000 and spending $200,000 in French

Current spot rate of the euro = $1.20

a.   (2%-4%)/(1+4%)=(S - 1.20) / 1.20  

     S= $1.1769 one year Euro rate

b. ( $1 / 1.20 )( 1 + 4% )* 1.12 = $.9707 return of -2.93% (loss)

c. ( $1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%)* 1.31 = $1.1353 return of 13.53% (gain)

d . ($1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%) *S = $1 (1+2%) ;

        S=$1.1769          

A spot rate of over $1.17697 (this is the same in part A) would be effective.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The correct solution is "6.09%".

Explanation:

Given:

Nominal rate,

= 6%

or,

= 0.06

As we know,

⇒ EAR = [(1+\frac{APR}{m} )^m]-1

By substituting the values, we get

             =[(1+\frac{0.06}{2} )^2]-1  

             =[(1+0.03 )^2]-1

             =1.0609-1

             =6.09 (%)

Pettit Company reports net income of $90,000 in 2019. However, ending inven- tory was understated $7,000. What is the correct ne
zimovet [89]

Answer:

<em>a)Corrected net income= $97,000</em>

<em>b) Total assets figure is understated.</em>

Explanation:

<em>To arrive at the net income, cost of goods sold is usually deducted from the sales revenue. An cost of sold is determined by subtracting the value of inventory. So an understated inventory would mean an overstated </em><em>cost of goods sold </em><em>and </em><em>understated net income</em>

<em>Correct net income = 90,000 + 7,000</em>

<em>                                 = $97,000</em>

<em>Inventory is part of current assets s reported in the balance sheet . Therefore, if inventory is understated it implies that the current assets figure is understated and therefore the</em><em> total assets figure is understated.</em>

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

c. $150.

Explanation:

the extra amount of hours Maurice can work taking a flight will be of 5 hours

(8 hours taking a plane against 3 hours if driving)

As the income per hour is 30 dollar it can generate;

5 hours x $30 per hour = $150

Maurice will only travel by plane if it generates the same or more income than the driving thus, a differencial price of less than 150 dollars will provide Maurice with a net gain. Also we should consider that if Maurice drives his car it is taking a depreication hit per mile while driving that is being ignoer to keep the assignment simple. But considering that the amount of differential income could be higher than $150
