Baylor Bank believes the New Zealand dollar will appreciate over the next five days from $.48 to $.50. The following annual inte

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Its dollar profit from speculation over the five-day period will be <u>$208,035.93</u>.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Assuming Baylor Bank borrow $5,000,000

The borrowing will be converted to New Zealand dollar at the current exchange rate and we will have:

Conversion = $5,000,000 / 0.48 = NZ$10,416,667

The NZ$10,416,667 shall be invested at an annualized based on New Zealand lending rate of 6.75% over five days. This will produce future value (FV) as follows:

FV of investment = Amount invested * (1 + NZ lending rate)^(5 years / 360 days) = NZ$10,416,667 * (1 + 6.75%)^(5 / 360) = NZ$10,426,121.44

Converting the NZ$10,426,121.44 to dollar at the new rate of $.50 as follows:

New conversion = NZ$10,426,121.44 * $.05 = $5,213,060.72

Amount to repay based on the US borrowing rate = Amount borrowed in USD * (1 + US borrowing rate)^(5 years / 360 days) = $5,000,000 * (1 + 7.5%)^(5 / 360) = $5,000,000 * 1.00100495826555 = $5,005,024.79

Profit = New conversion - Amount to repay = $5,213,060.72 - $5,005,024.79 = $208,035.93

Therefore, its dollar profit from speculation over the five-day period will be <u>$208,035.93</u>.

When Tesla first launched their electric vehicles in the United States, they deviated from the norm in the automobile industry a

Damm [24]

Answer:

The choice of Tesla is known as Forward Integration.

According to the principles of Transaction Cost Economics, this is a good decision.

Explanation:

Companies sometimes take over the operations/businesses that deal with the distribution and supply of their products and or services. This move is known as forward integration.

Traditionally, companies focus on production then bring in middle-men such as Franchise owners, wholesales, dealers, and retailers to distribute their merhandise to the end user. Whilst there are associated benefits with this model, it's been found that the interests of the middle men also generate considerable costs.

In order to competitive advantage, companies are modifying their business models such that end users can deal directly with them thus reducing the final price of their goods and or services making them more accessible and easier to purchase for the consumers.

Transaction Cost Economics refers to the various ways in which an organisation can be set up in order to manage or control the costs associated with its transactions. The goal of transaction cost economics is to reduce overall costs in order to optimize profits, stay competitive and maintain growth by managing and modifying organisational structures and business models.

The most optimized organisational structure/business model is that which is able to attain the highest efficiency possible by operating at the lowest cost possible.

Good or Bad Decision

The market for motor vehicles is an oligopoly.

Therefore, price is an important factor to consider. As a more recent entrant into that space, this is very crucial for Tesla.

Tesla is not only entering into a market dominated by giants, but is also tryin to modify the way people know to drive cars (at least in most parts of the world). Therefore, it is a great move that it is going with a Price Penetration Strategy. Thus by cutting off the Franchise-Oriented dealerships and selling directly, Tesla is able to retain control over the price of it's vehicles.

The whole essence of reducing it's costs is so that it is able to make its products available to the consumers as an alternative to fossile fuel powered vehicles at the lowest cost possible. Despite it's best efforts, there are still petrol powered cars that are at least $10,000 cheaper that what Tesla is offering.

Besides price, one major factor that influences the choice to go with hybrid or 100% of electric cars is that they are clean and very environmental friendly.

Cheers!

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$172.25

Explanation:

initial outlay for the project = -$350

cash flow years 1-5 = [($300 - $135 - $70) x (1 - 36%)] + $70 (depreciation expense) = $60.80 + $70 = $130.80

using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function, we can calculate the project's NPV with an 8% discount rate:

=NPV(8%,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80) - $350 = $522.25 - $350 = $172.25

we can also do it manually:

NPV = -$350 + $130.80/1.08 + $130.80/1.08² + $130.80/1.08³ + $130.80/1.08⁴ + $130.80/1.08⁵ = $172.25
