Blenman Corporation, based in the United States, arranged a 2-year , $1,000,000 loan to fund a project in Mexico. The loan is de

The exchange rate at the time of the loan was 5.75 pesos per dollar, but it dropped to 5.10 pesos per dollar before the first payment came due. The loan was not hedged in the foreign exchange market.

Answer:

17.67%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Loan amount in USD = $1,000,000

The Loan is denominated in Mexican pesos.

The rate of exchange at the time of loan = 5.75 pesos per USD

Thus,

The Loan amount in Mexican pesos = 1000000 * 5.75 = 5,750,000 Mexican pesos

The Loan carries interest rate = 6.5%

Now,

The Loan duration = 2 years = 4 semiannual periods

The Loan to be repaid in Mexican pesos in 4 equal semiannual installments

So,

To get semiannual installments we will apply PMT function of excel:

Which is,

PMT (rate, nper, pv, fv, type)  = PMT(6.5%/2, 4, -5750000, 0, 0)

= 1556164.09 Mexican pesos

Thus,

The exchange rate dropped to 5.10 pesos per USD before  the first semiannual payment is due and  stays so till the end of loan period.

Then,

The Semiannual installment in USD = 1556164.09 / 5.10 = $305,130.2137

To get nominal semiannual rate (for USD amounts) we will use RATE function of excel:

The RATE(nper, pmt, pv, fv, type)

= RATE (4, 305130.2137, -1000000, 0,0)

= 8.477%

Effective annual rate = (1 + 8.477%) 2 - 1 = 17.67%

Therefore, the effective annual interest rate will Blenman end up paying on the loan is  17.67%

Units produced and sold: 3000 meals

Revenue:                      $18000

Cost of goods sold:     ($13500)

Gross profit:                  $4500

Administrative Costs:   ($2400)

Operating Profit:           $2400

Sales Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Administration cost = Operating Profit

Units Produced and sold: 3000+300 meals

Revenue:                      $18000+ $3.5*300 = 19050

Cost of goods sold:     ($13500) + (4500) = ($18000)

Gross profit:                  $1050

Administrative Costs:   ($2400)+($600) = ($3000)

Operating Profit:           ($1950)

New operating profit - old operating profit = Change in Operating İncome

-1950-2400 = -$4350

The Operating profit reduced by $4350

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $541,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $601,880

Budgeted direct labor hours= 367,000

The actual direct labor hours for the period are 334,000

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 601,880/367,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.64 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.64*334,000

Allocated MOH= $541,200
