Answer:
B. The hedge is asymmetric.
Explanation:
Hedging refers to a technique or a mechanism whereby firms and individuals aim for risk reduction, arising out of uncertain and volatile business situations, which may result into a heavy loss.
For example, an exporter entering into a forward contract to eliminate or reduce the risk of arising out of a future situation wherein, future receipts denominated in a foreign currency, receivable at a future date, may be less than same receipts receivable at current spot exchange rate as on today.
Currency hedge ratio depicts the proportion of total exposure which is covered by hedge w.r.t the total exposure itself.
Asymmetrical hedge refers to covering an exposure by an opposite position wherein the chances of earning profits are higher than the losses current position can lead to. Such an hedge would be similar to covering a call option with a put option. Asymmetrical refers to being of dissimilar or non equal size. Here, it refers to the dissimilarity between prospective profits and losses.
Under a perfect hedge, the loss position in a scenario is completely covered i.e 100% by a prospective gain in other situation, with there being negative correlation between the two scenarios such as if scenario 1 yields a profit, scenario 2 would yield a loss and vice versa.
Overhead rate is calculated by dividing the overhead cost by the direct cost over a similar period of measurement. In our case, the basis is per hour. The overhead cost is the rough estimate of the cost made through the proper reference to the historical data for old establishments and projections for the new ones. This can be expressed as,
overhead rate = (overhead cost / direct cost) x 100%
Substituting the known values,
overhead rate = ($75 / $50) x 100%
overhead rate = 150%
<em>ANSWER: overhead rate = 150% </em>
Answer: $23,888
Explanation:
The cost today for a freshman at a public university is $19,500.
Inflation is at 7% a year and the period is 3 years from now. It is best to use a future value formula:
= Fees * ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 19,500 * ( 1 + 7%)³
= 19,500 * 1.225043
= $23,888
Answer:
FV= $46,031.45
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit= $450
Number of months= 59
Interest rate= 0.21/12= 0.0175
To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {450*[(1.0175^59) - 1]} / 0.0175 + 450
FV= $46,031.45
