Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

(A) Kleiner Merchandising Company:

Goods available for sale = $24,500

Cost of goods sold = $17,900

Gross profit = $3,600

Net income = $1,550

(B) Krug Service Company:

Net income = $16,300

Explanation:

(A) Kleiner Merchandising Company:

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Net purchases

= $11,000 + $13,500

= $24,500

Cost of goods sold:

= Goods available for sale - Ending inventory

= $24,500 - $6,600

= $17,900

Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

                    = $21,500 - $17,900

                    = $3,600

(b) Kleiner Merchandising Company:

Gross profit = $3,600

Net income = Gross profit - Expenses

                   = $3,600 - 2,050

                   = $1,550

Krug Service Company:

Net income = Revenues - Expenses

                   = $26,000 - $9,700

                   = $16,300

frutty [35]

Answer:

B. $1.12

Explanation:

The computation of arbitrage trading profit is shown below:-

Euro Share price = £0.875

Spot rate R = £0.6366/$1.00

1 ADR Share price in US = $5.75

1 ADR = 5 share of shares

Now, The actual price of 1 ADR P1 = 5 × Euro Share price ÷  Share price in US

= 5 × £0.875 ÷ £0.6366

= $6.87

Therefore, The  Arbitrage profit = Actual price - trading price

= Actual price - Price in US

= $6.87 - $5.75

= $1.12

Therefore for computing the arbitrage trading profit we simply applied the above formula.
