How does the ranking of spending by larger nations compare depending on which method is used to convert into a common currency?

Business
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

There are two basic ways of comparing spending between different countries:

  1. By using the official exchange rate and their nominal value. Since the US dollar is the most "powerful" currency in the world, local currencies are exchanged to US dollars, then spending is measured in nominal US dollar values.
  2. Purchasing power party uses the US dollar as the base currency for the world and then compensates for changes in the exchange rates. This is usually more accurate since it compensates the fact that less developed nations are cheaper than rich developed countries. For example, a house in Switzerland is worth much more than a similar house in Mexico, therefore, the PPP compensates for this differences.

Can you think of some other capital budgeting situations in which negative cash flows during or at the end of the project's life
guapka [62]

Answer:

Multiple IRRs:

Said another way, Multiple IRRs occur when a project has more than one <em>internal rate of return.</em> The problem arises where a project has non-normal cash flow (non-conventional cash flow pattern).

Internal rate of return (IRR) is one of the most commonly used capital budgeting tools. Investors make decisions by comparing the IRR of the project under consideration with the <em>hurdle rate</em>. If the IRR is greater than the hurdle rate, the project is accepted, otherwise it is rejected. When there are more than two IRRs, it is not exactly clear which IRR to compare with the hurdle rate.

Hurdle rate is the minimum required rate of return which businesses use as a benchmark to decide whether to invest in a project or not.

<em>So a typical situation which can generate negative cashflows which can in turn lead to multiple IRRs towards the end of the project is where the conditions of investment become adverse towards the end of the project.</em>

Imagine that toward the end of the lifecycle of a project, a forecasted increase external costs such as Interest Rate, influenced by government policies translates to an erosion of the bottom line generated by the business in that year.

Period                                             0          1       3  3 4 5

Unconventional cash flows ($)-19,000 16,000 16,000 6,000 6,000 -52,000

The series is non-conventional cash-flow pattern, which has two sign changes. This is the range in which the net present value of the non-conventional cash flow series is positive. The multiple IRR problem poses a series problem to analysts because the decision is not obvious.  

Cheers!

Journalizing purchase and sales transactions
Firdavs [7]

Based on the given purchase and sale transactions, the journal entries are:

Date             Account Title                                   Debit                    Credit

Feb 3      Merchandise inventory                   3,300

                            Account payable                                       3,300

Feb 7            Account payable                               900

                    Merchandise inventory                                               900

Feb 9            Merchandise inventory                    400

                      Cash                                                                               400

Feb 10           Account receivable                        4,700

                      Sales revenue                                                             4,700

Feb 10            Cost of goods                                  2,350

                       Freight out                                          370

                      Merchandise inventory                                            2,350

                      Cash                                                                             370

Feb 12             Account payable                             2,400

                       Cash                                                                          2,328

                       Merchandise inventory                                                 72

Feb 28             Cash                                                 4,606

                         Sales discount                                      94

                         Account receivable                                               4,700

<h3 /><h3>What are the journal entries?</h3>

When goods are purchased, they will be debited to the Merchandise inventory account. If they were paid for with cash, they will be credited to the cash account. On account is credited to Accounts Payable.

When goods are sold, the cost of goods sold will have to be debited to account for the cost of the purchase that is now being sold.

Because the goods were paid for in the discount period, a 3% discount would apply:

= 2,400 x (1 - 3%)
= $2,328

A 2% discount would apply to the Feb 10. sales for the same reason:
= 4,700 x (1 - 2%)

= $4,606
