Answer:

Floating exchange rate

Here the market decides the value of the currency as it trade freely in the market based on supply and demand.

Argument For;

Market Based - It is market based therefore it reflects the true value of the currency.

Argument Against;

Uncertainty - As it trades according to the whims of supply and demand, telling which direction it will go in terms of value is a difficult undertaking therefore financial decisions based on such are riskier.

Fixed exchange rate

Here the value of the currency is fixed either to the value of another currency or to the price of gold.

Argument For;

No Uncertainty - As the currency is tied to another currency which is usually more stable or gold, the rate of the currency is more predictable.

Argument Against;

Unknown Elements

Managed float

In this exchange rate regime, the Central bank of a country intervenes in the Foreign exchange market to push or pull the currency in the direction that it prefers.

Argument For;

Government intervention - The Government Intervention ensures that the currency's value remains stable as well as allowing the Central bank to maintain a good balance of payments.

Argument Against;

Difficult - Maintaining the currency within the band preferred in a difficult undertaking that requires constant intervention in the Forex market.

Pegged exchange rate

The Central bank in this instance pegs the currency to a basket of currencies after setting an exchange rate it would prefer and then intervenes in forex market to keep it that way.

Argument For;

Reduces uncertainty - The movement of the currency is more predictable due to it being pegged to a basket of currencies.

Argument Against;

Continual government intervention - As this requires the currency to remain at a certain value, the government will keep intervening to ensure that it stays at that exact level.

Target zone

Here the Central Bank allows the currency to fluctuate on the market albeit with limits placed on how much it can do so.

Argument For;

Fluctuation with limits - By combining fixed regimes with floating regimes, the currency can maintain a semblance of true value whilst still be less uncertain.

Argument Against;

Limited options.

Sheffield Corp. uses dollar-value LIFO method of computing its inventory cost. Data for the past three years is as follows: Year

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

2021 inventory balance using dollar-value LIFO = $1,384,025

Explanation:

Note: Before answering the question, the data in it are sorted first as follows:

Year ended December 31 Inventory at End-of-year Prices Price Index

2019 $ 654000 1.00

2020 1261000 1.05

2021 1345250 1.10

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Change in inventory in 2020 = Inventory at End-of-year Prices in 2020 - Inventory at End-of-year Prices in 2019 = $1,261,000 - $654,000 = $607,000

Change in inventory in 2021 = Inventory at End-of-year Prices in 2021 - Inventory at End-of-year Prices in 2020 = $1,345,250 - $1,261,000 = $84,250

2021 inventory balance using dollar-value LIFO = (Inventory at End-of-year Prices in 2019 * Price Index in 2019) + (Change in inventory in 2020 * Price Index in 2020) + (Change in inventory in 2021 * Price Index in 2021) = ($654000 * 1.00) + ($607,000 * 1.05) + ($84,250 * 1.10) = $1,384,025

Which is the most likely scenario in which someone would take out a short-term loan with a bank?

emmasim [6.3K]

The most likely scenario in which someone would take out a short-term loan with a bank is to pay for credit card debt. The short-term loan has less than one year period to be repaid and this loan is usually taken by someone if there is a temporary problem with their cash flow. This loan can also be taken by a company to fulfill their working capital for increasing its sales.
