On January 1, 2009, a U.S. firm made an investment in Germany that will generate $5 million annually in depreciation, converted

at the current spot rate. Projected annual rates of inflation in Germany and in the United States are 5 percent and 2 percent, respectively. The real exchange rate is expected to remain constant, and the German tax rate is 50 percent. Required: Calculate the expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013. Assume that the tax write-off is taken at the end of the year.

Answer:

The expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013 will be $1,958,815.416.

Explanation:

It is expected that the value of the dollar in the German market will fall at the same rate as that of the real market value of the dollar when we envisage the exchange rate will remain the same. Thus the depreciation of the tax write-off in terms of its real value in dollars will fall at 5% every year from 2009 to 2013.

Therefore, at a tax rate of 50% in Germany, a $2.5 million charge on depreciation on the investment of $5 million will result in 2013.

To calculate the real value of the dollar at an inflation of 5% yearly in 2013

When the tax rate in German is 50%, then charges of depreciation of $5 million will equal4$2.5 million in 2013 dollars. When the dollar's real value of this write-off is declining due to the inflation at 5% annually, the real value in 2013 will be calculated as:

Given: $2,500,000 (P/F , 5%, 5years) ;  0.78356 (factor for calculating the amount to be recieved after  5years)

= $2,500,000 * 0.78356

= $1,958,815.416

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$67860

Explanation:

sell price of each toaster= $24.45

variable cost per unit= $16.65

total fixed cost= $25,700

number of unit sold x= 8700

the formula for contribution margin is

= sales price- variable cost

= (s-v)x

putting values we get

= (24.45-16.65)\times8700

= $67860

Hence the contribution margin the above case will be $67860

Suppose the economy of the large country of Hendrix is currently experiencing economic growth and has a trade deficit. Consider
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit.

1. Domestic private investment increases

2. Imports increase

When there is a period of economic growth, people generally have more income in the economy. Their consumption will increase and they will demand more foreign goods as well as domestic. This will lead to imports rising.

Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit.

1. Private saving increase.

2. Government borrowing decrease

With people earning more income, they will be able to save more of that income and because they are not buying with those savings, trade deficit drops.

The government would also not have to borrow as much to prop up the economy as the economy is also doing well. This means less need for foreign funds so a lower trade deficit ensues.

Not likely to occur during economic growth.

1. Imports decrease.

2. Government borrowing increases.

When there is economic growth, it is unusual to see that imports are decreasing.

Government would also not have to borrow as much as the economy is doing well on its own and does not need the government to pump money into it.
