the main determinant of the prices and the exchange rates of the each currency is the market supply and demand. more demand will set the rates higher while more supply will decrease the rates.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But before that we need to find out the current asset which is

The Net working capital = Current assets - current liabilities

$246,000 = Current assets -$790,000

So, the current assets is $1,036,000

Now the book value of Klingon’s total assets is

Total assets = Current assets + net fixed assets

= $1,036,000 + $6,000,000

= $7,036,000

The sum of market value of NWC and fixed assets is

= Market value of net working capital + market value of fixed assets

= $1,130,000 + $7,400,000

= $8,530,000

Answer:

The firm shouldn't purchase the machine because the IRR is less than the required minimum

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a financial calcuator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-1.25 million.

Cash flow in year 1 = $210,000

Cash flow in year 2 to 5 = $350,000

IRR = 8.51%

The firm shouldn't purchase the machine because the IRR is less than the required minimum

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button

An employee has enrolled in his company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The benefit paid at the time of the employee'

OLga [1]

Answer:

A) taxable as ordinary income to the employee and can be taken as a deduction by the employer.

Explanation:

When an employee defers to receive the compensation plan he gets the benefit of lower tax bracket each year, ultimately decreasing his tax liability.

Further when he receives the complete amount his income stands taxable. Accordingly at that time ordinary tax rates as per FICA are applicable.

On the employers part it is only deductible when the employee includes it in the income of the year, and pays tax on such compensation received.

Thus, when he receives it as compensation on retirement it is normally taxable at ordinary rates to the employee and deduction can be claimed by the employer.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

*Nominal Interest Rate

*Can

*EAR

*Annual

*Higher

Explanation:

Here is the complete question;

Different compounding periods, are used for different types of investments. In order to properly compare investments or loans with different compounding periods, we need to put them on a common basis. In order to do this, you need to understand the difference between the nominal interest rate (INOM) and the effective annual rate (EAR). The__________ interest rate is quoted by borrowers and lenders, and it is also called the annual percentage rate (APR). If the compounding periods for different securities is the same, then you____________ use the APR for comparison. If the securities have different compounding periods, then the____________ must be used for comparison. Here, M is the number of compounding periods per year and INOM/M is equal to the periodic rate (IPER). If a loan or investment uses___________ compounding, then the nominal interest rate is also its effective annual rate. However, if compounding occurs more than once a year, EAR is___________ INOM. Quantitative Problem: Bank 1 lends funds at a nominal rate of 6% with payments to be made semiannually. Bank 2 requires payments to be made quarterly. If Bank 2 would like to charge the same effective annual rate as Bank 1, what nominal interest rate will they charge their customers? Round your answer to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.__________ %

CALCULATION PART

what nominal interest rate will they charge their customers?

Effective annual rate= (1+nominal rate/n)^n -1)

n= compounding period

Effective annual rate=[(1+0.06/2)^2 -1]

[(1+0.06/2)^2 -1]

= (1+0.03)^2 -1

=1.0609-1

=0.0609

= 6.09%

They will charge it 6.09%

There are four quarter in a year which means n=4

Let the nominal rate = x

Using the effective annual rate formula

0.0609=[ (1+x/4)^4 -1]

0.0609+1= (1+x/4)^4

(1.0609)^1/4 = 1+x/4

1.01489= 1+x/4

1.01489-1= x/4

x= 0.01489×4

x= 0.05956×100

x= 5.956%

Hence, effective annual rate for the both banks is 6.09%

While nominal annual rate for bank2 is 5.956%
