You are a U.S.-based treasurer with $1,000,000 to invest. The dollar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.60 = €1.00 and the dolla

kotykmax [81]

Answer: An astute trader can make $ 41,666.66.

Explanation: You must first change

$ 1,000,000 per pounds, which would leave a total of £ 500,000. ($ 1,000,000 / 2.00 = £ 500,000;).

Secondly spend £ 500,000 to euros, obtaining € 600,000 (£ 500,000 x 1.20 = € 600,000;).

Thirdly, with euros, buying dollars again, obtaining $ 960,000 (€ 600,000 x 1.60 = $ 960,000), that is, an arbitrage loss of -40,000 in relation to the initial investment.

Finally you must return in the opposite direction:

$ 1,000,000 / 1.6 (€) / 1.2 (£) * 2 - $ 1,000,000 = $ 41,666.66 that is, an arbitrage profit.

A process that produces computer chips has a mean of .04 defective chip and a standard deviation of .003 chip. The allowable var

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) 0.667

b) Yes

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mean = 0.04

Standard Deviation = 0.003

Upper Specification Limit, USL = 0.046

Lower Specification Limit, LSL = 0.034

Now,

a) Capability Index is given as:

Cp = $\frac{(USL-LSL)}{(6\sigma)}$

or

Cp = $\frac{(0.046-0.034)}{(6\times0.003)}$

or

Cp = 0.667

Also,

Cpk = min( $\frac{(USL-Mean)}{(3\sigma)},\frac{(Mean-LSL)}{(3\sigma)}$

or

Cpk = min( $\frac{(0.046-0.04)}{(3\times0.003)},\frac{(0.04-0.034)}{(3\times0.003)}$

or

Cpk = min( 0.667 , 0.667 )= 0.667

Since,

Cp and Cpk are same in this case

therefore, it is ideal condition and process is capable

b) yes

According to the Mundell–Fleming model, in an economy with flexible exchange rates, expansionary fiscal policy causes net export

maxonik [38]

Answer: Decrease and Increase

Explanation:

According to the Mundell–Fleming model, in an economy with flexible exchange rates, expansionary fiscal policy will cause the net exports to decrease. Expansionary fiscal policy shifts the IS curve rightwards, as a result BOP surplus created in the economy. So, exchange rate decreases to shift the BOP back to its initial position. As a result of lower exchange rate, exports falls. Hence, net exports decreases.

Expansionary Monetary policy will cause the net exports to increases. Expansionary Monetary policy shifts the LM curve rightwards, as a result BOP deficit created in the economy. So, exchange rate increases to shift the BOP back to its initial position. As a result of higher exchange rate, exports increases. Hence, net exports increases.
