Answer:

The Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%)

Explanation:

As we know that,

Self Supporting Growth Rate = Return on Equity * (1 - Payout Ratio) ...Eq1

Here

Payout ratio given is 50%

and

Return on Equity =  35% <u>(Step 1)</u>

By putting values in Eq1, we have:

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 35% * (1 - 50%)

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 17.5%

Which means that Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%) which is 17.5%.

<u>Step 1: Find Return on Equity</u>

We know that:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity ..............Eq2

As we are not given value of Net Income we can not calculate the value of return on equity. But there is another way that we can calculate by simply multiplying and dividing by sales on Left hand side of the Eq2 equation.

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity          * Sales / Sales

By rearranging, we have:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Sales  *   Sales / Equity

Now here,

Net Income / Sales  = Profit Margin

By putting this in the above equation, we have:

Return on Equity = Profit Margin  * Sales / Equity

Here

Profit Margin is 7% given in the question.

Sales were $2,000,000

And  

Equity is $400,000 <u>(Step 2)</u>

By putting values, we have:

Return on Equity = 7%  * $2,000,000 / $400,000

Return on Equity = <u>35%</u>

<u>Step 2. Find Equity</u>

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Here,

Assets are worth $1,400,000

Liabilities are standing at $1,000,000 which includes only current liabilities because company doesn't have any long term borrowings

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = $1,400,000 - $1,000,000 = <u>$400,000</u>

<u>Brother, don't forget to rate the answer.</u>

Jasper makes a $44,000, 90-day, 9% cash loan to Clayborn Company. Jasper's entry to record the collection of the note and intere
vovikov84 [41]

Jasper's entry to record the collection of the note and interest at maturity should be:

Debit     Cash Account 44,990

Credit    Interest Income $990

Credit    Notes Receivable $43,000

The amount collected is:

Cash collected

= $44,000 Amount lend + Interest Income

And

Interest Income

= Amount lend * Interest Percent * For the days / 360

= $44,000 * 9% * 90 / 360

= $990

Now putting the interest income value in the above equation, we have:

Cash collected

= $44,000 Amount lend + $990

= $44,990

So the cash is increase by $44,990 interest income increased is by $990 and the Note receivable is at amount issued which has been decreased by $44,000.

Bank A quotes a bid rate of $0.300 and an ask rate of $0.305 for the Malaysian ringgit (MYR). Bank B quotes a bid rate of $0.306
Artemon [7]

Answer: $1639.3

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Bank A quotes a bid rate of $0.300 and an ask rate of $0.305 for the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and that bank B quotes a bid rate of $0.306 and an ask rate of $0.310 for the ringgit.

The profit for an investor that has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage goes thus:

Purchasing Malaysian ringgit (MYR) from bank A at the ask rate will be:

= $500,000/$0.305

= 1,639,344.3

Selling the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) at bank B based on the ask rate will be:

= 1,639,344.3 × 0.306

= $501,639.3

The profit for an investor that has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage will be:

= $501,639.3 - $500,000

= $1639.3

Cachita Haynes works as a currency speculator for Vatic Capital of Los Angeles. Her latest speculative position is to profit fro
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Cachita should buy put on yen

Explanation:

Given:

The current spot rate = ¥120.00​/$

in US $/¥ = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{120.00}}

or

in US $/¥ = 0.0083

Maturity time = 90 days

                                     Put on Yen                  Call on Yen

Strike Price                     125/$                           125/$

Strike Price in $/¥        0.008                            0.008

Premium                      0.00003/$                0.00046/$

Therefore,

Here the strike price for put on Yen and call on Yen are same

but the premium for Put on Yen is less than the premium for the call on Yen

Therefore, Cachita should buy a put on yen to get the profit from the rise of the dollar
