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

Choose one of the scenarios below and write a three-paragraph essay describing its effect on prices for food, housing, and oil.
Ray Of Light [21]
<span>The issue isn't black and white, a true answer is closer to the middle ground but to play devil's advocate I personally believe investors have a net positive effect on companies they keyword: invest in. Investments naturally leads to expansion and growth, that's always at least a main goal of anyone profitable company. It produces more jobs, but it can have the negative effect of curbing jobs in the name of cutting costs. A lasting problem is an overreliance in investment when companies don't have enough liquidity to continue running and is forced to sell assets valuable to the business in times of panics and reduced investment. Overall investors are in large part a reason for the success of modern corporations.</span>

An investor contributes $10,000 to a limited partnership and signs a $40,000 recourse note. In the first year, the investor's di
kondaur [170]

Answer: The loss carried to the next year is $10,000

Explanation:

the initial investment = $10,000 contribution + $40,000 recourse note= $50,000 initial basis.

The income in the first year = $15,000

Therefore total sum basis = $50,000 initial investment + $15,000 income = $65,000

The cash distributed = $5,000

we deduct the cash distributed from the total sum basis

hence,

remaining basis = $65,000 - $5,000 = $60,000

since the loss = $70,000

therefore,

the remaining loss after the first year = $70,000 - $60,000 = $10,000

so $10,000 will be the unused loss carried to the next year.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The contribution margin will decrease by 2.50

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

IF sales decreases, then the contribution margin decreases.

That's because, there is less money to pay for the variable cost.

The company will also have to sale more units to break even, as now each units contribution is fewer.

Cone's should evaluate how much their sales are expected to increase for the lower price and be cautious

ipn [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) Be able to use his or her skills.
