In January 2012, one US dollar was worth 50 Indian rupees. Suppose that over the next year the value of the Indian rupee decreas

es to 60 Indian rupees to one US dollar. Suppose also that the price level of all goods and services in India, as measured in rupees, falls 20%, so that the Indian price index falls from a value of 100 to 80. At the same time, suppose that the US price level increases by 6%, to 106.

Answer:

59% - a)increase - b)decrease

Explanation:

First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.

Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).

Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).

With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

Iteru [2.4K]

Inventories held for sale in the normal course of business are classified in the balance sheet as Current liabilities.

<h3>What is meant by current liability?</h3>

This is the term that is used to refer to all of the financial obligations that the customer would have to have due to themselves in the long run. These are the liabilities that are known to be dropped in the current assets and would then be settled in the course of a year.

Hence we can say that Inventories held for sale in the normal course of business are classified in the balance sheet as Current liabilities.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Product margin= $9,607.5

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:</u>

Assembly= 1,533,840 / 77,000= $19.92 per machine-hour

Processing orders= 91,065 / 1,950= $46.7 per order

Inspection= 139,788 / 1,980= $70.6 per inspection-hour

<u>Now, we need to allocate overhead:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Assembly= 19.92*660= 13,147.2

Processing orders= 46.7*50= 2,335

Inspection= 70.6*10= 706

Total= $16,188.2

<u>Finally, the product margin for product S78N:</u>

Product margin= 430* (124.3 - 51.25 - 13.06) - 16,188.2

Product margin= $9,607.5
