Answer:

Would not exercise its currency option

Explanation:

Currency options are one of the most common ways for corporations , individuals or financial institutions to hedge against adverse movements in exchange rates.

A currency option is a contract that gives the buyer the right , but not the obligation, to buy or sell a certain currency at a specified exchange rate on or before a specified date.

Answer:

will not exercise the purchase option.

Explanation:

ABC Software will not exercise its purchase option because the Swiss franc depreciated against the US dollar. Why would it exercise the option and pay a higher price? Currently with $1 they purchase 1.70 francs, which is 0.03 francs more than the call (purchase) option.

The January 28, 2017 (fiscal year 2016) financial statements of Caleres, Inc. reported the following information (in thousands):
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A. 136.2 days

Explanation:

To compute the average days inventory outstanding, first, we have to find out the inventory turnover ratio

Inventory turnover ratio =  Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory

where,  

Average inventory = (Opening balance of inventory + ending balance of inventory) ÷ 2

= ($546,745 + $585,764) ÷ 2

= $566,254

And, the cost of good sold is $1,517,397

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $1,517,397 ÷  $566,254.50

= 2.67 times

Now, Days in inventory  = Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio

= 365 days ÷ 2.67 times

= 136.70 days approx

An economy has $10 trillion in consumption, $2.5 trillion in investment, $3 trillion in government purchases, $1 trillion in exp
barxatty [35]

Answer:

$15 trillions

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP is shown below:

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports

where,  

Consumption = $10 trillions

Investment = $2.5 trillions

Government purchase = $3 trillions

Net exports = Exports - imports

= $1 trillion - $1.5 trillion

= -$0.5 trillion

So, the GDP would be

= $10 trillions + $2.5 trillions + $3 trillions - $0.5 trillions

= $15 trillions

= 13.5 trillions
