Answer:

Gain will be $350000

So option (d) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given fair market value of the property = $500000

Basis in the property = $150000

Property is subjected to a liability of $200000

We have to fond the gain

Gain will be equal to

Gain = market value of the property - basis in the property

So gain = $500000-$150000 = $350000

So option (D) will be correct option

Princess Cruise Company (PCC) purchased a ship from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry. PCC owes Mitsubishi Heavy Industry 500 million ye
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

In  the case of forwarding hedge:

The future dollar cost will be = FX receiveable ÷ Foward exchange rate

= 500 million yen ÷ 110 yen/dollar

= $4.55 million

For money market hedge:

Present value of yen payable = 500 \ yen \div (1+ \dfrac{5}{100})

= \dfrac{500 \ yen }{1.06}

= 476.20 million yen

PCC would convert dollars to yens at the spot market rate and borrow yen such that it would get 500 million yen at maturity(i.e after one year)  for Mitsubishi to receive it.

Dollars needed to get these yen = 476.30 yen  ÷ 124 yen/dollar

= $3.84 million

Future Value of these dollars (for comparison with the foward market hedge) = $3.84 × (1 + 0.08)

= $4.15 million

Hence, the money market hedge is better as the dollar cost is lower than the forward market hedge to meet the obligation.

b)

On the maturity date, the spot rate is 110 yen/dollar  

Ad the strike price = 0.0081 /dollar

It is better for the company to go for the strike price due to the fact that it has a lower rate than the spot rate.

Now;

The premium amount = 500000000 yen × 0.014 dollar / yen

= 70000 dollars

However; the Future dollar-cost payable = 500000000 yen × 0.0081 dollar /yen

= 4050000 dollars

By applying option hedge, the total dollar cost required to meet the obligation = (4050000 + 70000) dollars

= 4120000 dollars

c)

The dollar cost needed from the option hedge required to matching the forward hedge is determined by subtracting it from the premium amount:

Thus;

for option hedge, dollar cost needed = (4550000 - 70000) dollars

= 4480000 dollars

The required future spot rate = 500000000/4480000

= 111.61 yen/dollar

As a result, at the future spot rate of 111.61 yen/dollar, PCC will be unconcerned about and indifferent about the option or forward hedge because the future dollar cost of meeting the obligation will be the same.

Your bank card has an APR of 18% and there is a 2% fee for cash advances. The bank starts charging interest on cash advances imm
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$42

Explanation:

APR = 18% , month rate = 18%/12 = 1.5%

Fee for cash advance = 2%

Cash advance of the first day of month = $1,200

Finance charge = Cash advance * (Monthly rate + Advance cash fee)

Finance charge = $1,200*1.5% + $1,200*2%

Finance charge = $18 + $24

Finance charge = $42

So, the approximate total finance charge i will pay on this cash advance for the month is $42

What role do values play in making ethical decisions?

Values play a central role in ethical decision making.It is because core values are so subjective, they will be relative to the individual who holds them. Not all individuals have the same core values and conflicts about them will often arise.
