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

How much interest is earned in just the third year on a $1,000 deposit that earns 7% interest compounded annually?
Sav [38]

Answer:

Interest earn= $80.14

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

PV= $1,000

i= 7%

n= 3

<u>First, we will calculate the future value at the second year:</u>

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 1,000*(1.07^2)

FV= 1,144.9

<u>Now, for the third year:</u>

FV= 1,144.9*1.07= 1,225.04

Interest earn= 1,225.04 - 1,144.9= $80.14

Assume that ExxonMobil uses a standard cost system for each of its refineries. For the Houston refinery, the monthly fixed overh
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000

= $750,000 Unfavorable

b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000

= $1.60 per barrel

Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60

= $8,160,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000

= $160,000 Favorable

c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead

A goal programming problem had two goals (with no priorities assigned). Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal
topjm [15]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

Goal programming is an optimization technique that allows for multiple, normally conflicting objectives and then attempts to solve each goal sequentially to a satisfactory level. In goal programming, differential variables are being used.

Since the goal programming problem had two goals. Goal number 1 was to achieve a profit of $2,400 and goal number 2 was to have no idle time for workers in the factory. The optimal solution to this problem resulted in a profit of $2,300 and no idle time

This means that goal number 2 was achieved since the optimal solution resulted in no idle time. But goal number 1 was not achieved because a profit of $2300 was achieved in the solution instead of $2400.

Therefore, the value for the objective function for this goal programming problem = 2400 - 2300 = 100

A $1,000 face value bond is currently quoted at 101.2. the bond pays semiannual payments of $28.50 each and matures in six years
goblinko [34]
Coupon rate is the yearly interest earned by a loan and it can be calculated with

C = \frac{i}{p}

where i is the annual interest and p is the par value of the bond or the initial loan amount.

For this particular case, since the semiannual payment is $28.50, then the annual payment is 2 x 28.50 = $57.00.

Thus, we have 

C = \frac{57}{1000} = 0.057

From this, the coupon rate is 0.057 x 100% = 5.7%.
Answer: 5.7%
