Answer:

d. transaction loss; $3,695

Explanation:

Calculations:

Today  ¥110.58 can be exchanged by $1

<h3>US firm to pay today = 100,000,000/110.58 = 904322.66</h3>

US firm had to pay $904322.66 today.

US firm chooses to pay three months after the transaction and do not uses any hedging technique.

Three months later on settlement date  ¥110.13 can be exchanged by $1, so less  ¥ can be exchanged now than three months ago ( ¥110.58). Now US firm would incur transaction loss. Translation loss/gain occurs when balance sheet of a firm is converted from one currency to another.

<h3>US firm to pay 3 months later = 100000000/110.13 = 908017.79</h3>

US firm to pay $904322.66 three months later

<h3>Transaction gain/loss = $904322.66 - $908017.79 = -$3695.13 </h3>

So US firm incurs loss of $3695.13, rounded off to $3695

What would happen if a supplier charged more than the market price
Yuri [45]
Equilibrium is the intersect of the two curves. The curves show you how much the producers supply and how much the consumers demand at each possible price. 

The demand curves shows that the higher the price is, the less the consumers demand. That's obvious—the consumer wants something, but not at any price. He's only willing to pay so much. If the price goes higher and higher, less and less people want to buy the good. 

The higher the price is, the more the producers can supply. This is because some producers are able to produce at lower costs; they're better and more efficient than other producers. Other producers, who produce at higher costs, would go bankrupt if they tried to produce at lower prices. But when the price goes up, even the worse producers, who have higher costs, are able to make profit. So, more producers supply to the market. 

What happens now, when the price gets lower than the equlibrium? As you can see from the chart, producers would supply less than consumers would be willing to consume at that particular price. There would be SHORTAGE. This happens when the goverment sets price ceilings (like on gas in the 30's). An opposite situation happens when there is price floor—for example minimum wage (because wages are prices too; prices of labor). In that case, there is surplus—in case of minimum wage that means surplus of labor (unemployment). 

But when the markets are free to set the price, they will quickly establish equlibrium again. The producers will see that there is a shortage. They'll realize they can set higher prices and make bigger profits. They can't set higher price than the equilibrium though, because there would be surplus and they would have their warehouses stuffed with goods noone wants to buy at that price. 

This is the Answer Am 100% sure.

In a sales contract, the only exception to a buyer claiming title warranty occurs if the
Nutka1998 [239]
I would say that if the buyer had wilfully damaged the item purchased or been negligent in handling it, then the title warranty would be annuled so this means that the warranty is only good for defects for parts and labour usually only for one year unless extended.

Corporate bonds issued by Johnson Healthcare currently yield 8 percent. Municipal bonds of equal risk currently yield 6 percent.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a tax-rate for 25% will make the investor be indifferent between there two bonds

Explanation:

The Municipal bonds are tax free. Therefore, do not pay the income tax for their interest.

We need to set and equation for the net yield of the bonds after tax, which equal the municipal bond:

debt after tax:

cost of debt ( 1 - t) = after-tax

we want to equalize 8% pre-tax with 6% after-tax

0.08 ( 1 - t ) = 0.06

t = 1 - 0.06/0.08 = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%

a tax-rate for 25% will make the investor be indifferent between there two bonds
