Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The question is not complete:

On July 15, 2016, you convert 650,000 U.S. dollars to Japanese yen in the spot foreign exchange market (¥104.91/$) and purchase a six-month forward contract ($0.0095320/¥1) to convert yen into dollars. How much will you receive in U.S. dollars at the end of six months? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

The sum of $650,001.38  would be received in six months

Explanation:

In the first place by buying the yen in the spot market on July 15 ,2016, the amount of yen is computed thus:

$650,000 was at (¥104.91/$) ,which implies that each $ was exchanged for ¥104.91

yen received =$650,000*104.91/1

                       = ¥ 68,191,500.00  

The six month forward contract outcome is as follows:

($0.0095320/¥1)

each Yen was exchanged $0.0095320

dollars received= ¥ 68,191,500.00 *0.0095320/1

                          =$650,001.38

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,000 units at $60 per unit. Variable expenses are 40% of the selling price. If total fixed expe
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3.60

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales units = 1,000

Sales price per unit = $60

Variable expenses = 40% of the selling price

Total Fixed cost = $26,000

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $60 - ($60 × 40%)

= $60 - $24

= $36

Total contribution:

= Contribution margin per unit × Sales units

= $36 × 1,000

= $36,000

Profit = Total contribution - Fixed cost

         = $36,000 - $26,000

         = $10,000

Degree of operating leverage:

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed Expenses)

= (60,000 - 24,000) ÷ (60,000 - 24,000 - 26,000)

= 36,000 ÷ 10,000

= 3.60

Your car averages 28 miles per gallon (MPG). Your trip to work averages 14 miles. Gas costs 2.89 per gallon. What do you spend o
gogolik [260]

Answer:

57.8$

Explanation:

Here we know that:

- One trip to work averages 14 miles

- Therefore, one return trip home-work averages 14*2=28 miles

- You work 20 days per month

So, the average number of miles per month is:

m=28\cdot 20 =560 mi

Then, we also know that the car averages 28 miles per gallon; this means that the number of gallons consumed on average in 1 month is equal to the average number of miles (560) divided by 28:

g=\frac{560 mi}{28 mi/gal}=20 gal

So, 20 gallons per month.

Finally, we know that the cost of the gas is 2.89$/gallon. Therefore, the average total cost per month is equal to the average number of gallons per month (20) times the cost per gallon:

cost = (20 gal)\cdot (\$2.89/gal)=\$57.8
