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.

Answer:

I can borrow $24,000

Explanation:

A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity.

The amount of loan can be calculated as follow

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

Amount of Loan = $632 x [ ( 1- ( 1 + 1% )^-48 ) / 1% ]

Amount of Loan = $632 x [ ( 1- ( 1.01 )^-48 ) / 0.01 ]

Amount of Loan = $24,000

r = 7.17%

Interest rate is 7.17%

Hope this helps, either way best of luck to him!

In terms of the tax formula applicable to individual taxpayers, which of the following statements, if any, is correct?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. In arriving at taxable income, a taxpayer must choose between the standard deduction and itemized deductions.  

Explanation:

In tax law, the tax base is the magnitude that results from the measurement of the taxable event. It is defined as the dimension or magnitude of an element of the objective budget of the taxable event that is judged as determining the relative contributory capacity.

In tax legal relations, the taxable event shows the existence of an economic capacity in the subjects, but for the tax to be applied, this fact must be assessed in some way, usually in monetary units.

The tax base is ultimately the magnitude that is used in each tax to measure the economic capacity of the subject, such that it is reflected in ceilings.
