Sally’s parents deposited $15,000 into a college savings account on her third birthday. The account had an interest rate of 9.6%

compounded annually. They were hoping that the money would double twice by the time she was 18 years old. Using the rule of 72, will their hopes come true? Yes, the $15,000 will double each 7.5 years. In 15 years, it will double twice. Yes, the $15,000 will double in 7.5 years and be four times as much in 15 years. No, the $15,000 will only double once in 15 years, not double twice. No, it will take 30 years for the $15,000 to double twice.

Answer:

The correct option is yes,the $15,000 will double each 7.5 years.In 15 years ,it will double twice.

Explanation:

The 72 rule stipulates that the number of years it would take an investment to achieve accumulate a certain amount- future value, can be computed by dividing 72 by the interest rate earns by the investment

N, the number of years=72/9.6

                                      =7.5 years

Invariably,in 7.5 years' when Sally would have been 10.5 years(3 years now+7.5 years) the investment would have doubled.

By another 7.5 years when Sally would have been 18 years(10.5 years +7.5 years), the investment would have doubled twice.

The 72 rule is fast-track approach to calculating the duration of an investment.

What criteria do accountants use to decide whether to use present or future values in accounting statements?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Present value is nothing but how much future sum of money worth today. It is one of the important concepts in finance and it is a basis for stock pricing, bond pricing, financial modeling, banking, and insurance, etc. Present value provides us with an estimated amount to be spent today to have an investment worth a certain amount of money at a specific point in the future. Present value is also called a discounted value. It is an indicator for investors that whatever money he will receive today can earn a return in the future. With the help of present value, method investors calculate the present value of a firm’s expected cash flow to decide if a stock is worth to invest today or not.

The formula for calculating PV is shown below

PV = CF/ (1+r)n

Here ‘CF’ is future cash flow, ‘r’ is a discounted rate of return and ‘n’ is the number of periods or year.

Example

Let’s say that you have been promised by someone that he will give you 10,000.00 Rs 5 year from today and interest rate is 8% so no we want to know what the present value of 10,000.00 Rs which you will receive in future so,

PV = 10,000/ (1+0.08)5

PV = 6805.83 (To the nearest Decimal)

So present-day value of Rs 10,000.00 is Rs 6805.83

xenn [34]

Answer:

-3.41%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below;

We use the formula:

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years  

$10,710,500 = $12,738,500 × (1 + rate of interest)^5

($10,710,500 ÷ $12,738,500)^(1 ÷ 5) = (1 + rate of interest)

(1 + rate of interest) = 0.965913622

r = (0.965913622 - 1) × 100

= -3.41%

Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer.  The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exact
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer

a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:

A$ 1 = ¥90

Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90

b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:

= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90

= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90

= ¥351.26214 =A$1

c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.

d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:

(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:

Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =

A$ 1,333,333.33333

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667

(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:

Forward  Exchange outcome =  in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =

A$4 million

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million

Explanation:

a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive  ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the  ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.

b) If A$ 1 = ¥90

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.
