International Finance Problem Set on Working Capital Management1. Rossignol Co. manufactures and sells skis and snowboards in Fr

ance, Switzerland and Italy, and also maintains a corporate account in Frankfurt, Germany. Rossignol has been setting separate operating cash balances in each country at a level equal to expected cash needs plus two standard deviations above those needs, based on a statistical analysis of cash flow volatility. Expected operating cash needs and one standard deviation of those needs are below.Rossignol’s Frankfurt bank suggests that the same level of safety could be maintained if all precautionary balances were combined in a central account at the Frankfurt headquarters.a. How much lower would Rossignol’s total cash balances be if all precautionary balances were combined? Assume cash needs in each country are normally distributed and are independent of each other.b. How much would the company save annually, if financing costs are 6% p.a., from centralizing its cash holdings?

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

Please note that if cash requirements are combined, mean requirement of combined entity can be simply summed up, but same is not true for standard deviation as it is not additive.

So first we need to calculate the variance by taking square of SD, then we sum it for all the location to get variance of combined entity and then we take square root again to get the SD of combined entity.

Keep in mind that we can take a simple summation of variance due to the fact that requirement in different locations are independent of each other and their correlation coefficient is = 0.

Jose goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet at a Chinese restaurant and consumes three plates of food. He does not go back for a four
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The marginal utility of the fourth plate is zero or below zero

Explanation:

The reason is that the law of diminishing marginal utility says that the marginal utility of a product declines upon continuous consumption of that item. This means that the utility before the consumption of first buffet was high and when the second buffet was consumed by the same person the utility was further reduced and so on. This means that the utility must be positive which if is higher enough then the customer is will to pay and eat the buffet again. If it is zero or below zero the customer is not willing to pay for the buffet. This is the reason the person doesn't ordered the item again.

You can not eat the same buffet for all the 365 days. This means the taste of a tasty food fades away after some time or I would say that the utility is gone. Same is the case when you will keep using cellphone for a period and then sell it or dispose it because the item doesn't entertains you or in other words the utility has significantly fallen and is almost zero or below zero.

Determinants of market interest rates
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1. Real risk-free rate.

2. Nominal risk free-rate.

3. Inflation premium.

4. Liquidity risk premium.

5. Liquidity risk premium.

6. Maturity risk premium.

Explanation:

Market interest rates can be defined as the amount of interests (money) paid by an individual on deposits and other financial securities or investments. The factors that typically affect the market interest rate known as the determinant of market interest rates are;

1. This is the rate on short-term U.S. Treasury securities, assuming there is no inflation: Real risk-free rate r*

2. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*: Nominal risk free rate.

3. This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time: Inflation premium.

4. This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full: Liquidity risk premium.

5. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability, because it cannot be bought and sold quickly without losing value: Liquidity risk premium.

6. This is the premium that reflects the risk associated with changes in interest rates for a long-term security: Maturity risk premium.
