Answer:

(a) gain $1,000.

(b) lose $2,000.

Explanation:

If the investor's contract states that he should sell British pounds for US dollars at an exchange rate of 1.5000 US dollars per pound, he will gain money if the exchange rate falls below that value and lose if it rises above it.

(a) 1.4900

G = 100,000*(1.500 - 1.4900) = \$1,000

The investor would gain $1,000.

(b) 1.5200

L = 100,000*(1.5200 - 1.5000) = \$2,000

The investor would lose $2,000.

Brushy Mountain Mining Company’s coal reserves are being depleted, so its sales are falling. Also, environmental costs increase
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

$32

Explanation:

Use dividend discount model (DDM) to calculate the price of the stock;

Price(P0) = D1/(rs - g)

whereby,

P0= Current price or current value of stock

D1 = Next year's expected dividend

rs = required rate of return

g = expected dividend growth rate (which is declining, so -0.04)

D1 = D0(1+g)

D1 = $6(1+-0.04) = $6 * 0.96 = $5.76

P0 = 5.76/(0.14 +0.04)

P0 = 32

Therefore, the value of Brushy Mountain’s stock is $32

Travka [436]

Answer:

b. Suggestion 2

Explanation:

Suggestion 2 will increase the demand for public transportation because private transportation is a substitute. If it is expensier to use private transportation, some people that before used private transportation will start using the public one. Suggestion 1 and 3 will not increase demand (shift the demand curve in the demand and supply graph), they will result in changes in the quantity demanded (movements along the demand curve).

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer a.

Maximum Operating Loss will occur when sale is $0.

If Sale is $0, then Variable Cost will also be $0 and Fixed Cost will be $600,000

Operating Profit = Sales – Variable Expenses – Fixed Cost

Operating Profit = - 600,000

Operating Profit = $ - 600,000

Answer b.

Maximum Operating Loss will occur when sale is $2,500,000.

Units Sold = 20,000 ($2,500,000 / 125)

If Sale is $2,500,000, then Variable Cost will also be $1,500,000 ($75×20,000) and Fixed Cost will be $600,000

Operating Profit = Sales – Variable Expenses – Fixed Cost

Operating Profit = 2,500,000 – 1,500,000 - 600,000

Operating Profit = $ 400,000

Answer c.

4,800 Units :

Operating profit = $125×4,800 - $75×4,800 – 600,000

Operating profit = $ - 360,000

8,000 units :

Operating profit = $125×8,000 - $75×8,000 – 600,000

Operating profit = $ - 200,000

12,000 Units :

Operating profit = $125×12,000 - $75×12,000 – 600,000

Operating profit = $ 0

16,000 Units :

Operating profit = $125×16,000 - $75×16,000 – 600,000

Operating profit = $ 200,000

20,000 Units :

Operating profit = $125×20,000 - $75×20,000 – 600,000

Operating profit = $ 400,000

4,800 Units                   Operating Loss Area

8,000 Units                   Operating Loss Area

12,000 Units                   Break-even Point

16,000 Units                   Operating Profit Area

20,000 Units                   Operating Profit Area

Answer d.

Break-even Sales = 12,000 Units as there is neither operating profit nor loss.
