Answer: Enter into a futures contract

Explanation:

Wheldon Wheels inc. operates in the United states, The company exports car Parts to Taiwan which means they do business with companies in Taiwan. The amount that Wheldon Wheels inc receives when they export car parts depends on the Exchange rate between a US dollar and Taiwan Dollar.

Exchange rates between currencies fluctuates every day in the market which presents a problem of uncertainty because when exchange rate changes the value of the transaction changes and that will increase or decrease a company's profits in each transaction.

Wheldon Wheels Expects to receive 20 000 000 Taiwan dollars in 90 days, since the company is in The united states the amount of 20 000 000 of Taiwan Dollars Receivable will need to be converted into US dollars. The Problem is, The exchange rate may decrease or increase in the next 90 days which will affect how much Wheldon Wheels receives in dollars.

Wheldon Wheels inc may Protect them selves against Exchange rate Fluctuations by entering into A Future Contracts with a Bank or exchange dealer. Futures Contract will provide Wheldon Wheels inc with an opportunity to sell 20 000 000 Taiwan Dollars in 90 days at a fixed predetermined exchange rate. The Dealer Promises to Buy 20 000 000 Taiwan Dollars in 90 days at a Predetermined Fixed exchange rate.

example

suppose the (WW) enters into a Futures contract to sell 20 000 000 Taiwan Dollar in 90 days at an Fixed exchange rate of $1 = 1.5 Taiwan dollar, if the market exchange rate in 90 days is $1 =  1.3 Taiwan dollar Wheldon Wheels inc would be protected. The Exchange rate for the 20 000 000 Taiwan Dollar transaction would remain at $1 = 1.5 Taiwan dollar

Trish receives $450 on the first of each month. Josh receives $450 on the last day of each month. Both Trish and Josh will recei
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The last option is the answer -$141.80

Explanation:

we will use the present value formula for Trish she gets paid every first day of the month therefore she will receive an immediate payment of cash flow which will be added to the present value of future periodic value. Therefore we will find the difference between present values for Trish and Josh which have the same amounts which they'll receive per month.

Given: Trish and josh both receive $450 per month therefore that will be C the monthly future payment that will be received.

They will receive these amounts in a course period of Four years so that will be n = 4 x12=48  because we know that they will receive these payments every month or on a monthly basis for four years. which n represent periodic payments.

i which is the discount rate of 9.5%/12 as we know they will recieve these amounts monthly.

Therefore using the following formulas for present value annuity:

Pv = C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i] and Pv= C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i](1+i) then get the difference between these two present values for Trish and Josh.

therefore we will substitute the above values on the above mentioned formula to get the difference:

Pv= 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)]  - 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)](1+9.5%/12)    then we compute and get

Pv= $17911.77614 - $18053.5777

Pv = -$141.80 is the difference between the two sets of present values as one has an immediate payment and one doesn't have it.

What is the primary difference between: (i) accounting for a business combination when the subsidiary is dissolved; and (ii) acc
dangina [55]

Answer:

It is not formally recorded in the accounting record of the parent company if the subsidiary retains its incorporation.

Explanation:

IFRS 3 explains  business acquisition as the taking over the control  of an existing business by another with the acquired assets measured at the fair value at the date of transaction.

The combining of interest method has ceased to be considered by GAAP since 2001.

That means a subsidiary has to lose its incorporation for full acquisition or rather treated as an investment by the acquiring company.
