Answer: The yen is selling at a per annum "DISCOUNT of -6.30%"

Explanation: This is a per annum discount, because the amount of dollar used in buying the yen has reduced, which made the $1 to be able to buy 127yen instead of 125yen.

To find the forward discount;

[(1 ÷ forward rate) - (1 ÷ spot rate) / (1 ÷ spot rate)] × (360 ÷ 90)

Spot rate = 125

Forward rate = 127

Therefore forward discount is

[(1÷127) - (1÷125) / (1÷125)] × (360÷90)

(-0.000126 / 0.008) × 4 = -0.063

Therefore forward discount = -6.30%

The negative sign means that it is a percentage discount

Answer:

1. Discount

2. 6.30%

Explanation:

1. Forward discount means that more units of a currency is needed to a unit of another currency in the future. In the question, 2 (127 - 125  = 2) more units of yen will be needed in the future to buy the same one unit of the US dollar.

2. To calculate the percentage of the forward discount, we use the forward discount formula as follows:

Forward discount = {[(1 ÷ Forward rate) - (1 ÷ Spot rate)] ÷ [1 ÷ Spot rate]} x {360 ÷ 90)}

Forward discount = {[(1 ÷ 127) - (1 ÷ 125)] ÷ [1 ÷ 125]} × {360 ÷ 90}

                              = {[0.007874016  - 0.008 ] ÷ [0.008]} × 4

                              = {-0.000125984  ÷ 0.008} × 4

                              = -0.015748 × 4

                              = -0.062992  = - 6.30% approximately.

Therefore, the negative sign shows that the yen is selling at a per annum​ discount of​ 6.30%. This indicates yen worth less in the future against the US dollar.

-to record the accrued utilities of July--

wages expense 5,475 debit

    wages payables     5,475 credit

--to record payment to employees--

Explanation:

We will follow the debit = credit rule.

The expenses will be always posted on the debit side Therefore, the other account are forced to go into credit to balance the entry.

Also, when cash is used to pay something, our cash available decrease thus, we have a decrase in an asset that is recorded under credit

for the other entries we are asumingthe acrual of an expense, whch generates the later obligaion to pay it. Hence, we recongize a liablity which is credited.
