The percentage increase in the total sales for 2006 is 15% while the increase in sales of the trench coats is 23.3%; therefore the percentage increase in total sales of trench coats is 8.3% faster.
Computation:
1. The total amount of sales for 2006 and 2007:


2. Now, the percentage increase will be determined for the total number of coats and trench coats:
For the total number of coats, the values used will be the total sales of 2006, and total sales of 2007.

For the trench coats the values used will be the sale of trench coats in 2006 and 2007.

3. Now, the net percentage increase in sales due to the trench coats is computed as follows:

Therefore, the correct option is option B. Sales of trench coats increased 8. 3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

B, because it is a new business so it's going to have to work harder then any other business in order to gets it's name out there.
Explanation:
Ethics can be defined as the study of the behaviors that guide human behavior, that is, society is developed through a set of moral behaviors that define its values and its conception of which human behaviors and attitudes are positive or negative. Ethics then emerges as the standardization of these behaviors and moral values, it is a code of conduct for positive actions by man in society in all areas of life.
In discretionary decisions, in which there is a possibility of interpretation by the legislators, ethics appears as a normative instrument for the conduct of decisions, being a guide for the legislator to decide for what will have greater ethical value and benefits for society.
Answer:
e. $638
Explanation:
payment to be made as per forward contract (IN $)
= 39960/ 1.682
= $23757.43
now the actual rate after 90 days is 1.638
payment at 1.638 rate = 39960/ 1.638
= $24395.6
loss by hedging = $24395.6 - $23757.43
= $638.17
Therefore, The U.S. firm have saved or lost $638 in U.S. dollars by hedging its exchange rate exposure.
Answer:
6.11%
Explanation:
For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%) + (2% × 10%)
= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%
= 9.30%
Now the variance would equal to the
= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.3645
For normal economy:
= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.4165
For recession:
= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2
= 5.329
So, the total variance would be
= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329
= 6.11%
