The decision to build the park or not would be based solely
on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other
factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of
constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to
construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000
($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can
say that the benefit has exceeded its cost. As a conclusion, the neighborhood
park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more
than its cost.
Answer:
C) Sell £2,278.13 forward at the 1-year forward rate, F1($/£), that prevails at time zero.
Explanation:
given data
State 1 State 2 State 3
Probability 25% 50% 25%
Spot rate $ 2.50 /£ $ 2.00 /£ $ 1.60 /£
P* £ 1,800 £ 2,250 £ 2,812.50
P $4,500 $4,500 $4,500
solution
company holds portfolio in pound. so to get hedge, they will sell that of the same amount.
we get here average value of the portfolio that is
The average value of the portfolio = £ (0.25*1800 + 0.5*2250 + 0.25*2812.5)
The average value of the portfolio = 2278.13
so correct option is C) Sell £2,278.13 forward at the 1-year forward rate, F1($/£), that prevails at time zero.
Answer:
57.5%
Explanation:
Data Provided:
Total Sales = $ 200,000
The net income = $ 100,000
Depreciation = $ 20,000
Interest = $ 10,000
Taxes = $ 5,000
Now,
the operating profit is the from the income before the taxes and interest. Thus,
the interest and taxes will be included in the net income for the operating profit
therefore,
The operating profit = income + Interest + Taxes
or
The operating profit = $ 100,000 + $ 10,000 + $ 5,000 = $ 115,000
Now,
the operating profit margin = ( Operating profit / Sales ) × 100
or
= ( $ 115,000 / $200,000 ) × 100 = 57.5%
