Today the current EUR to USD exchange rate is 1 EURO = 1.19 USD. According to the Bloomberg consensus estimate, the EUR to USD e

xchange rate in four years is forecasted to be 1 EUR = 1.31 USD. You begin with 100 USD today and will invest in a European security that provides 10% annual returns (in EUR). Using this information, answer the following six (6) questions.
a. Is the USD forecasted to appreciate or depreciate relative to EUR?

i. Appreciate
ii. Depreciate
iii. Neither appreciate nor depreciate
iv. Both appreciate and depreciate

b. To invest in the European security you must first convert USD to EUR. How many EUR will you have when exchange your 100 USD today for EUR?
c. Given that you will invest in a European security that earns 10% annually, how many euros will you have in 4 years? Assume that you reinvest all earnings (i.e., your investment simply compounds for 4 years).
d. You live in the US so you wish to exchange EUR for USD after 4 years. How many USD will you have in 4 years after exchanging your euros from the previous problem for USD?
e. What is your total return in USD? Use decimal notation, e.g., enter 0.2345 for 23.45%
f. What is your average annual return in USD? Use decimal notation, e.g., enter 0.2345 for 23.45%. [Hint: You can use your calculators built-in financial function ("fab five") to obtain this answer.]

Answer:

A)

USD will depreciate in future by :

Value of $ today =  1∈/1.19$= 0.84033

Value After 4 years =  1∈/1.31$ = 0.76335

B)

Value Of $100 in ∈ Today =   0.84033*100 = 84.033

C)

Value Of Investment after 4 years = P=123.032

Compounding Formula = P=S(1+i)^4  

P= 84.033(1+10%)^4

P=123.032

D)

Value of ∈123.032 in USD =   123.032*1.31 = $161.171

E)

Total Return =      (161.171-100) = 61.171

Return In %  =             61.171/100*100 = 61%

F)

Average Annual Return =         Total Return / No of Years

Average Annual Return =         61%/4 =   15.25%

Answer:

(a) ii Depreciate

(b) 84.03 Euro

(c) 123.03 Euro

(d) 161.17 USD

(e) 61.17%

(f) 15.29%

Explanation:

(a) The value of USD is depreciating as you can exchange 1.19 USD for 1 Euro but in after four years, you will need 1.31 USD to exchange for 1 Euro. Thus, you will need more dollars for 1 Euro.

(b) To convert USD to Euro, we just divide the USD with the exchange rate,

Euro = 100 / 1.19 ⇒ 84.0336 Euro

(c) We simply use the compound interest rate formula to calculate the value of our investment after four years with compounding interest,

The formula for compound interest rate is,

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where,

A = Final amount  of investment

P = Initial principal Invested

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest is compounded per time period

t = number of time periods

  • A = 84.03 ( 1 + 0.1/1)^4  ⇒ 123.028323 Euro

(d) We convert the euros back to USD using the after 4 year exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.31 USD,

  • 123.03 * 1.31 ⇒ 161.17 USD

(e) Total Return in USD = (161.17 - 100) / 100 ⇒ 0.6117 or 61.17 %

(f) The annual average return can be calculated by dividing the total return by the number of years = 61.17% / 4 = 15.2925 %

An economy is employing 2 units of capital, 5 units of raw materials, and 8 units of labor to produce its total output of 640 un
beks73 [17]

Answer:

$0.1  

Explanation:

The per unit cost of a production is the sum of variable cost and fixed cost divided by the total number of units produced. The per unit cost is given by the formula:

Per unit cost = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) / Number of units produced

Variable cost = Cost of raw material = Units of raw material × Cost of each unit of raw material = 5 units × $4/unit = $20

Fixed cost = Cost of labor + Capital =(Units of capital × Cost of each unit of capital) + (Units of labor × Cost of each unit of labor)  = (8 units × $3/unit) + (2 units × $10/unit) = $24 + $20 = $44

Variable cost + Fixed cost = $20 + $44 = $64

Per-unit cost of production = (Variable cost + Fixed cost) / Total output = $64 / 640 = $0.1

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$309

Explanation:

The computation of the gross earning for the week is as follows:

Given that

Payment of $7.15 × 8 = $57.2  or payment of  each unit produced whichever is greater

On monday

= 90 units × $0.60

=  $54

But the greater is $57.2

On tuesday

= 114 units × $0.60

=  $68.4

On Wednesday

= 82 units × $0.60

= $49.20

But the greater is $57.2

On thursday

= 112 units × $0.60

= $67.20

On friday

= 98 units × $0.60

= $58.80

Now the earnings for the last week is

= $57.20 + $68.4 + $57.20 + $67.20 + $58.80

= $308.80

= $309

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Product margin= $9,607.5

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:</u>

Assembly= 1,533,840 / 77,000= $19.92 per machine-hour

Processing orders= 91,065 / 1,950= $46.7 per order

Inspection= 139,788 / 1,980= $70.6 per inspection-hour

<u>Now, we need to allocate overhead:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Assembly= 19.92*660= 13,147.2

Processing orders= 46.7*50= 2,335

Inspection= 70.6*10= 706

Total= $16,188.2

<u>Finally, the product margin for product S78N:</u>

Product margin= 430* (124.3 - 51.25 - 13.06) - 16,188.2

Product margin= $9,607.5

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds is shown below:

Cash Dr  ($8,000,000 × 1.03) $8,240,000

        To Bond payable $8,000,000

        To Premium on bond payable $240,000

(Being issuance of the bond is recorded)

Here cash is debited as it increased the asset and credited the bond payable and the premium on bond payable as it increased the liabilities

Hence, the same is to be considered

In "thinking like an economist," the section "the role of economic theory" states that many economists believe that useful insights into our behavior can be gained by assuming that we act as if governed by the rules of rational decision-making.

It is possible to define rational decision-making as a decision-making process that incorporates reasoning at every stage. It is founded on the use of impartial knowledge. The first step in making a reasonable decision is to identify the issue that needs to be resolved, followed by the collection of all relevant data.

The next step is to examine every outcome that might result from each potential solution. The decision-making process that follows comprises weighing all viable options and selecting the best one based on reasoning.

Rational decision-making examples include:

● A student chooses what to study in his post-secondary education.

● A commercial choice regarding what to buy for the company.

To know more about decision-making refer to:
