Answer: Carrier A.

Explanation:

It assumed the phone is replaced at the end of contract for both carrier.

For carrier A

Cost of phone is USD200

Monthly subscription for 24months @ USD60/month: USD60×24=USD 1440

INTERPRETATION

The buyer of carrier A would spend $1440 plus $200 for the phone for 2yrs. Total of $1640 for two yrs.

For carrier B

Cost of phone is USD 100

Monthly subscription of USD 70 per month for 12months yield USD 70 × 12 = USD 840

USD 100 plus USD 840 yield $940.

Since the contract is renewable, the buyer of carrier B will spend $1880 for 24months which sum exceed the buyer of carrier A.

Answer:

I would chose carrier B

Explanation:

The reason i will choose carrier B is because if we consider the cost of capital which is 4% of $70, it is lesser than carrier A.

Calculation

If A = $200  

Assuming Maintenance = $60 for 24 month

4% of $60 = 2.4

Now considering we keep replacing the phone after the contract expires and cost of capital is 4%

Therefor: 4% of $60 × 24 =57.6

If we run the same calculation for carrier B,

we have, 4% of %70 = 2.8

therefor: 2.8 × 12 = 33.6

Carrier B is therefore cheaper so ill go for it.

Answer:

Foreign exchange loss

Explanation:

A foreign exchange gain/loss is normal for companies that operate in foreign countries. E.g. you prepared your financial statements by converting the foreign currency into your local currency, in this case you converted Canadian dollars to US dollars. But then the exchange rate between the currencies changes. If the value of the Canadian dollar's value increased after conversion, then you gained, and an adjustment must be made to show that gain. But if the Canadian dollar's value decreased after the conversion, then you lost (what happened here) and an adjusting entry must be made to report the loss.

In order to correct his, you must:

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": may sell some of your securities to repay the margin loan.

Explanation:

A Margin Call is issued when the equity in a margin account falls below a certain level. In the U.S. this level is set by the Federal Reserve (Fed) Board "Regulation T". Many brokers have their margin requirements known as "house requirements" usually with maintenance levels of 30 to 40%.

When a margin account falls below the margin limit and the trader ignores this, the broker can sell some of the securities of the trader to cover the margin losses.
