Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
1 pound = $1.60
1 pound = $1.50
So, there is a depreciation in the value of pound relative to the dollar and appreciation in the value of dollar relative to the pound.
Now, suppose a resident of united states purchase some quantity of goods(say, 20 shirts) from the seller in United kingdom.
Price of each shirt = 2 pounds
Hence,
Before the change in exchange rate, then the buyer have to pay in dollars:
= 20 × (2 × $1.60)
= 20 × 3.2
= $64
After the change in exchange rate, then the buyer have to pay in dollars:
= 20 × (2 × $1.50)
= 20 × 3
= $60
Hence, the amount paid by the resident of united states reduced because of the fall in exchange rate. Now, they have to pay less for the same amount of commodities. This shows that there is an appreciation in the currency of US relative to UK.
Answer:
$2722.82
Explanation:
Present value of loan = $1,000 * [(1+5%)^3 - 1]/ 5%
= $1,000 * (1.157625 - 1) / 0.05
= $1,000 * 0.157625/ 0.05
= $1,000 * 3.1525
= $3152.50
The present value of loan before bank restructuring is $3152.
Future value = Cash flow / (1+r)^n
= $3152 / (1+0.05)^3
= $3152 / (1.05)^3
= $3152 / 1.157625
= $2722.82
Therefore, the final payment required to pay to make indifferent for both payment is $2722.82
Answer: Not necessarily: The debt ratios are not directly comparable, since each company is in a different industry.
Explanation:
We cannot authoritatively state that even though Boeing has such a high debt rate, that it is a riskier company than either Microsoft or PG&E. This is due to the drawback in ratio analysis of bias if compared across different industries.
Ratio analysis best works when comparing companies in the same industry because their situations will be similar. Comparing across industries can be misleading because different industries operate in different ways. In the Airplane manufacturing business for instance, having a high amount of debt due to having the tangible assets to back it up might be a normal thing.
The debt ratios are therefore not directly comparable because each company is in a different industry.
