3. The USD depreciates 2% versus the JPY. The USD appreciates 1% versus the MXN. What is the approximate appreciation or depreci

Doss [256]

Answer:

The approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate is 3%.

Explanation:

The approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate can be stated using the folowing 3 steps.

Step 1. State the initial exchange rates of the currency pairs.

Let first assume the initial exchange rates are as follows:

USD1 = JPY1

USD1 = MXN1

Therefore, we have the initial cross rate as follows:

MXN1 = USD1 = JPY1

MXN1 = JPY1

Step 2. Determine the new exchange rates

The new exchange rates can be determined as follows:

When the USD depreciates 2% versus the JPY, this implies that USD1 * (100% + 2%) = USD1.02 has to be exchanged for JPY1. Therefore, we now have:

USD1.02 = JPY1, or

USD1 = JPY1/1.02

USD1 = JPY0.98

Also, when The USD appreciates 1% versus the MXN, this implies that USD1 * (100% - 1%) = USD0.99 has to be exchanged for MXN1. Therefore, we now have:

USD0.99 = MXN1, or

USD1 = MXN1/0.99

USD1 = MXN1.01

Therefore, we have the new cross rate as follows:

MXN1.01 = USD1 = JPY0.98

MXN1.01 = JPY0.98

MXN1.01 / 1.01 = JPY0.98/1.01

MXN1 = JPY0.97, or

MXN1/0.97 = JPY0.97/0.97

MXN1.03 = JPY1

Therefore, the new exchange rates are as follows:

USD1.02 = JPY1

USD0.99 = MXN1

MXN1.03 = JPY1

c. Determination of appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY

Percentage of depreciation of MXN against JPY = ((Initial MXN/JPY - New MXN/JPY) / Initial MXN/YPY) * 100 = ((1.03 - 1) / 1) * 100 = 3%

Since the percentage of depreciation of MXN against JPY is 3%, this also implies that the percentage of appreciation of JPY against MXN is 3%.

Therefore, the approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate is 3%.

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

This statement is TRUE, because:

C) Green Caterpillar’s retained earnings account increased between the end of Years 1 and 2.

Explanation:

The only way to determine if a company was profitable is through the Net Profit in the Income Statement , if it was profitable it means that the result were allocated in Retained Earnings in the Balance Sheets because this account only growth with the results of the income statement, in this case the increase in the account was for $394.

Option A) is not true because the increase in total assets not only means a company´s positive results it could be because of the company increment the Accounts Receivable term and the Inventories which no means a positive result.

Option (B) in the case of cash increases it could be due to an increase in the total debt of the company as it's indicated in the Long Term Debt and because of new stock issues.

Both of this option are complementary to the option selected but this options alone doesn't indicate a profitabilty year.

Answer: Education.

Explanation: Economic downturn, politics and technology change are factors that affect income that is not within a workers control. The workers can’t single handedly control economic downturn , politics of the nation is another factor that is not within the jurisdiction of the workers which can affect the income, lastly technological change is completely out of the workers control, they have no power over it.

Arlecino [84]

invoice price = $1,410
