Answer:

b. Buy £1,000,000 forward for $1.50/£.

Explanation:

Let's say for instance, we agree to make purchase of €1,000,000 and then forward for $1.50/€ and we assume that the price turns out to become $1.62/€ in three months time, the expected profit will be $12,000 = €1,000,000 ($1.62 - $1.50)As we can see, answer d looks convincing from an accounting standpoint, but it is wrong because the question asks us to make money with a forward contract, not by holding a particular spot. The correct option should be option b.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

One company pays 100%, the other re-reimburses 50%  

Explanation:

If an environmental assessment found that the two companies share joint and several liability for a hazardous materials cleanup.

What could happen if the two of them don't agree to cooperate in the cleanup is that one of the companies will eventually settle the costs fully while the other party will have to reimburse the party that pays, 50%.

The paying company could make claims because the environmental impact assessment has already found both companies jointly liable. hence each company ought to jointly share the costs
