Answer:
(a) Yes. It is an opportunity cost of new job because the additional time he spent commuting is a cost, as he can utilize that time in doing something else.
(b) Yes. It is also an opportunity cost because if a person wants to join a new job then he have to give up his current job. So, the earning of $45,000 from his current job is the opportunity cost of accepting the new job.
(c) No. It is not an opportunity cost but it is an additional benefit from the new job because he is not sacrificing anything to obtain this benefit.
Answer:
The interest rate is higher in the US.
Explanation:
The forward price is calculated using the following formula,
F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t
where,
- F = Forward rate
- S = Spot rate
- Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
- Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
- t = time in years
We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD
The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.
We can see this by the following example,
Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)
F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1 => $1.362 PER 1EUR
Answer:
0.37
Explanation:
The formula to compute the debt ratio is shown below:
= Total liabilities ÷ Total assets
where,
Total liabilities would be
= Current liabilities + Long term liabilities
= $75,000 + $35,000
= $110,000
And, the total assets would be
= $300,00
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the ratio would equal to
= $110,000 ÷ $300,000
= 0.37
Answer:
The maximum price that should be paid for one share of this stock today is $46.86
Explanation:
Using the dividend discount model, we can calculate the price/fair value of the stock today. The DDM bases the price of the stock on the present value of the expected future inflows from the stock in the form of dividends and terminal value. The discount rate used to discount the cash flows is the cost of equity or required rate of return on stock.
The price of this stock at time zero (t=0) will be,
Prcie = 2 / (1+0.08) + 2.5 / (1+0.08)^2 + 50 / (1+0.08)^2
Price = $46.86
