Answer:
d. $96,914
Explanation:
Parker Co. can execute money market hedge in following steps:
(1) Parker Co. pledges Receivable of SF200,000 to borrow SF190,476 with rate 5% in Switzerland; SF190,476 = SF200,000/ (1+5%)
so it has to pay interest expense of SF9,524 in 360 days. The receivable of SF200,000 is enough for both principal and interest in 360 days.
(2) Then it sells SF190,476 at spot rate $0.48 to get $91,428
(3) Then it deposits $91,428 in US with rate 6% to get back $96,914 in 360 days
; $96,914 = $91,428 * (1+6%)
Answer:
What is the Value of Bank Deposits?
bank deposits = bank reserves / required reserve ratio = $200 / 20% = $1,000
What is the Money Supply?
money supply = bank deposits + currency held by the public = $1,000 + $1,00 = $2,000
Suppose that the Fed sells $50 worth of bonds in an "open market sale." Assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds, what is the new money supply after this open market purchase?
if the FED sells $50 worth of bonds, money supply will decrease by $50 x (1 / 20%) = $50 x 5 = $250
total money supply = $2,000 - $250 = $1,750
Answer: Winona has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the opportunity cost will be calculated as:
= Earnings per hour × Hours taken to complete the task
Therefore, for Winona, the opportunity cost will be:
= 1 × $200.
= $200.
For Hubert, the opportunity cost will be:
= 9 × $25
= $225
Therefore, based on the calculation above, Winona has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task.
