The rewards require special performance, and are thus rarely obtained. If a goal isn't realistic people are less likely to try.
Answer:
The answer is B. -97.7.
Explanation:
As the question gives us the spot rate, the interest rates of two countries, We can apply the covered interest parity to calculate the 90-day forward exchange rate JPY/AUD from which 90-day forward points can be derived.
F = S x ( 1+ Rjpy) / ( 1+ Raud); in which Rjpy denoted as JPY interest rate ( 0.15% per annum) while Raud is AUD interest rate ( 4.95% per annum).
F = 82.42 x (1+ 0.15% x 90/360) / ( 1 + 4.95% x 90/360) = 81.443
=> The 90-day forward points is : 100 x ( F-S) = 100 x ( 81.443 - 82.42) = -97.7
A check list should be base on past problems.
D. training in each part of production
Answer:
During the 3rd year:
It will be in the 5th month of the Third year
Explanation:
We have to discount each year cash flow at present day using the firm's cost of capital of 11%
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\\$Year&$Cash Flow&$Discounted Cash Flow \\\\1&525&472.97 \\2&485&393.63\\3&445&325.38\\4&405&266.78\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%5C%5C%24Year%26%24Cash%20Flow%26%24Discounted%20Cash%20Flow%20%5C%5C%5C%5C1%26525%26472.97%20%5C%5C2%26485%26393.63%5C%5C3%26445%26325.38%5C%5C4%26405%26266.78%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
Adding the discounted cash flow we got that the firm will achieve the payback during the third year.
Now <u>in the attempt of being more precise:</u>
At the end of the 2nd year, we are 133.40 away from payback
By the end of the third year, the company receive 325.38
So in 12 months, we generate 325.38
In how many months do we manage to generate 133.40 and payback the investment?
133.40*12/325.38 = 4.91
So in the 5th month of the Third year, the firm will achieve the payback.
