Answer:
The euro has gained strength against the dollar.
Explanation:
Exchange rate is a measure of the value of one countrie's currency compared with another. For example how many dollars can be exchanged for a euro.
Most exchange rates are free floating, meaning their value is determined by market forces (demand and supply).
Some countries however peg their currency value.
So in this scenario Thomas is giving more dollars for fewer euros because the euro has more value.
Answer:
(a)
TC(q) [before expansion] = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
= 750,000 + 1.25q
TC(q) [after expansion] = (750,000 + 350,000) + 0.75q
= 1,100,000 + 0.75q
(b) (i) q = 600,000
TC(q) [before expansion] = 750,000 + (1.25 × 600,000)
= 750,000 + 750,000
= 1,500,000
TC(q) [after expansion] = 1,100,000 + (0.75 × 600,000)
= 1,100,000 + 450,000
= 1,550,000
Since expansion will increase total cost, profit will fall ceteris paribus. So firm should not expand.
(ii) q = 800,000
TC(q) [before expansion] = 750,000 + 1.25 × 800,000
= 750,000 + 1,000,000
= 1,750,000
TC(q) [after expansion] = 1,100,000 + (0.75 × 800,000)
= 1,100,000 + 600,000
= 1,700,000
Since expansion will decrease total cost, profit will rise ceteris paribus. So firm should expand.
Risk premium.
The risk premium is the difference between the required discount rate and the risk-free rate, as measured by T-bills. This risk premium is important for computing the CAPM and other portfolio management equations.
The company under IFRS will have lower cash flow in the financing section and higher cash flow in the operating section than the company under US GAAP.
Explanation:
Interest payments are a capital outflow and are viewed as a part of the Cash Flow Statement under US GAAP. The Cash Flow from transactions under IFRS is higher than that under the US GAAP if it is presented in the finance segment of IFRS.
As, on the other hand, the cash outflow for the company is smaller under IFRS than the US GAAP, if interest payments is included in the funding segment of IFRS.
The company under US GAAP would be required to include interest paid in the operating section, which lowers cash flows for that section
Answer:
e. None of the above
Explanation:
Annual demand, D = 600 units
Ordering cost, S = $400
Holding cost, H = $50
Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*D*S/H)
Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*600*400/50)
Economic order quantity without stock-out = 98
Total annual ordering cost = (D/Q)*S + (Q/2)*H
Total annual ordering cost = (600/98)*$400 + (98/2)*$50
Total annual ordering cost = $2,448.97 + $2,450
Total annual ordering cost = $4,898.97
