WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Given $1 million and the following quotes:

Bank C - $0.7551-61/€

Bank B - $0.7545-75/€

There are two different arbitrage strategies that can be attempted. The first is to buy euros from bank B, and then sell them to bank C:

Buy euros Bank B:

Euros to be bought = $1,000,000 x Euro / $ 0.7575

Euros to be bought = 1,320,132.01 Euros

Sell euros Bank C:

Euros to be sold = 1,320,132.01 euros x $0.7551 / Euro

Euros to be sold = $996,831.68

The profit/loss can be calculated by subtracting the original starting amount of dollars by the post-arbitrage amount:

Profit/loss = $996,831.68 - $1,000,000

Profit/loss = -$3,168.32

The second strategy involves buy euros from bank C and selling them to bank B: Buy euros Bank C:

Euros to be bought = $1,000,000 x Euro / $ 0.7561

Euros to be bought = 1,322,576.38 Euros

Sell euros Bank B:

Euros to be sold = 1,322,576.38 euro x 0.7545 / Euro

Euros to be sold = $997,883.88

The profit/loss can be calculated by subtracting the original starting amount of dollars by the post-arbitrage amount:

Profit/loss = $997,883.88 - $1,000,000

Profit/loss = -$2,116.12

In both instances a loss is made by the arbitrage. The arbitrager cannot make a profit using these quotes.

erastova [34]

Answer:

The largest revenue the supplier can make under this deal is $24,151.2

Explanation:

Working file has been attached to help understand how the answer was derived. Some points to note in the sheet are:

The sheet represents the following columns which are S. No., Chairs, Price, Total Revenue and difference in each revenue.
As the no. of chairs rises the price is dropping by $0.2 in the entire order.
However, at first this increase in order of chairs is beneficial even with the drop in the price of entire order.
At the point, where chairs ordered are 348 and price is $69.4 the revenue is at its largest which is $24,151.2.
After this point the increase in the no. of chairs is only decreasing the overall total revenue of the supplier.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1- Walmart wanted global expansion and it availed the opportunity to expand its business by entering Indian market, however the Indian market is far different than the US market that is why a joint-venture was required to enter the different market as Bharti Enterprises was already operating in Indian market.

2- To enter a new market Joint-venture will be suitable because:

In acquisition the investor acquires all the shares of an existing organisation in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost. In a Joint venture the investor and a local investor invests together to form a different organisation, in this method the organisations jointly own a newly formed organisation in which they both jointly decide the name and the local investor have knowledge about the local market which can be helpful if the customer taste is different than the investors market. In a Greenfield investment the investor purchases shares and bonds of an organisation already operating in the targeted market, in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost.
