Blababa [14]

Answer:

B. The hedge is asymmetric.

Explanation:

Hedging refers to a technique or a mechanism whereby firms and individuals aim for risk reduction, arising out of uncertain and volatile business situations, which may result into a heavy loss.

For example, an exporter entering into a forward contract to eliminate or reduce the risk of arising out of a future situation wherein, future receipts denominated in a foreign currency, receivable at a future date, may be less than same receipts receivable at current spot exchange rate as on today.

Currency hedge ratio depicts the proportion of total exposure which is covered by hedge w.r.t the total exposure itself.

Asymmetrical hedge refers to covering an exposure by an opposite position wherein the chances of earning profits are higher than the losses current position can lead to. Such an hedge would be similar to covering a call option with a put option. Asymmetrical refers to being of dissimilar or non equal size. Here, it refers to the dissimilarity between prospective profits and losses.

Under a perfect hedge, the loss position in a scenario is completely covered i.e 100% by a prospective gain in other situation, with there being negative correlation between the two scenarios such as if scenario 1 yields a profit, scenario 2 would yield a loss and vice versa.

Supplies, $650;

Equipment, $12,000

The teenage market is a market that is categorized in what way?
grin007 [14]
The closest answer that i can think of is categorized by consumer. By consumer, we are saying that you have to categorize them based on what they like meaning based on what they like at their age. For example, if you are going to market a pizza store to them, one of the best ways to do that is to position your pizza store as a place for friends to hang out because teenagers, at that age, love to hang out with friends and to be cool. So you have to categorize a teenage market by their interests when they are at that certain adolescent age

A produce distributor uses 774 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $12 each. The manager has assigned an ann
ki77a [65]

Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42
