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.
The answer is greater than cash inflows. The explanation behind this is cash flow gaps happen when cash outflows are greater than cash inflows. Cash flow budgets assist financial managers determine whether the business needs to seek outside sources of funds beyond sales to manage projected cash shortages.

Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra account to accounts receivable, and therefore has debit balance.

Answer:
A. NPV for A= $61,658.06
NPV for B = $25,006.15
B. 1.36
1.17
Project A
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator
for project A :
Cash flow in
Year 0 = $(172,325)
Year 1 41,000
Year 2 47,000
Year 3 85,295
Year 4 86,400
Year 5 56,000
I = 10%
NPV = $61,658.06
for project B
year 0 = $ (145,960)
Cash flow in
Year 1 27,000
Year 2 52,000
Year 3 50,000
Year 4 71,000
Year 5 28,000
I = 10%
NPV = $25,006.15
profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment
for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36
For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17
The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
