Answer:

B. Buy Euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£  sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

By calculating the cross rate between  € and £ we see that Euros are undervalued by the bank as they are quoted as 1.25 ,

S(€/£)=S($/£)/S($/€)

           2/1.5

            1.33

so in this case we by Euros convert to pounds and the convert to dollars

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00

the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00

To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) =  S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).

Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)

S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)

= (2 / 1.5)

= €1.33.

Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.

Income statement for the most current​ year:

                                               Cookbook  Travel Book    Classics   Total

Sales                                        $68,000  $126,000  $53,000  $247,000

Cost of goods sold                    40,000     66,000     21,000     127,000

Contribution margin                  28,000     60,000    32,000     120,000

Order and delivery processing 21,000     24,000      11,000       56,000

Rent​ (per sq. foot​ used)              2,000       5,000      4,000         11,000

Corporate profit =                     $29,000

less allocated cookbook costs   10,000

Adjusted corporate profit =      $19,000

b) Discontinuing the Cookbook product line would have eliminated the contribution the product line makes to defraying Rent and Allocated Corporate costs totalling $10,000 unless the Rental space was a variable cost.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.

Explanation:

The computation of the inventory balance is given below:

2021 Base year cost is

=  $131,040 ÷ 1.05

= $124,800

Additional layer is

= $124,800 - $101,600

= $23,200

2022 Base year cost is

= $150,040 ÷ 1.10

= $136,400

Additional layer is

= ($136,400 - $124,800 ) × 1.10
