Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is given below:

Suppose you start with $100 and buy stock for £50 when the exchange rate is £1 = $2. One year later, the stock rises to £60. You are happy with your 20 percent return on the stock, but when you sell the stock and exchange your £60 for dollars, you only get $45 since the pound has fallen to £1 = $0.75. This loss of value is an example of

A) exchange rate risk.

B) political risk.

C) market imperfections.

D) weakness in the dollar.

Answer:

Exchange rate risk

Explanation:

Exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another. In other words, it is the units of one currency that exchanges for another. Exchange rate between currencies could be volatile as it is affected by a number of factors ranging from inflation, interest rate risk, balance of payments e.t.c

Exchange rate risk :Fluctuations in exchange rate could lead to gains or losses for parties who conduct their transactions in the affected currencies.

For example, lets say Mr G  who resides in the UK imports $2000 worth of goods on January 2nd, 1999 when the exchange rate was $100 = £1 . The arrangement is that he will settle his supplier by January 25th, 1999.

As at the transaction date, his payables = $2000/100 = £20

Let us say by the settlement date, the rate is now $80 = £1

He would need to settle his liability with = $2000/80 = £ 25.

This is £5 more than it was when the transaction was done. Imagin what the loss would be if the transaction was worth $20 million !

Journalize the following transactions for Combs Company.
Anarel [89]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Debit: Raw material $12000

Credit: Account payable $11500

Credit: Material price variance $500

(To record material purchase)

b. Debit: Work in process 11600

Credit: Raw material 11200

Credit: Material price variance 400

(To record material issued)

Note:

Material price variance for (a)= 12000 - 11500 = 500

Work in progress = 5800 × 2 = 11600

Material price variance for (b) = 11600 - 11200 = 400

Jason purchased ABC stock at $40 per share and DEF stock at $35 per share on the same day in 2015. Exactly 6 months later, the A
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing Cost of Stock ABC purchased = $40 per share

Purchasing Cost of Stock DEF purchased = $35 per share

Time = 6 months

Selling price of share of ABC = $42 per share

Selling price of DEF share = $36

Dividend paid to the DEF = $0.5 each quarter i.e $0.5 twice in 6 months

Thus,

Total dividend paid to DEF = $0.5 × 2

= $1

Now,

For ABC

Total return = Selling price - Purchasing Cost

= $42 - $40

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $40 ] × 100%

= 5%

For DEF

Total return = Selling price + Dividend received - Purchasing Cost

= $36 + $1 - $35

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $35 ] × 100%

= 5.7%

Hence,

option C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%.

Answer:

NPV = $1.49  million

Explanation:

<em>The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  </em>

<em>NPV of an investment:  </em>

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:

Step 1: After-tax cost of debt

After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)

                                 = 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%

Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)

WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325 %

Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)

PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49  million

Initial cost = $48 million

NPV = 49.49  million -  $48 million  =$1.49  million

NPV = $1.49  million
