Answer:

Explanation:

Old Price         27363

Exchange Rate 2.01

USD Value         55000

the company has committed to sale at $55000 existing price for next six months.

No currency hedge contract has been made by jaguar, in such case due to appreciation of pound the value of dollar will decrease but due to commitment by jaguar not to fluctuate the cost the total amount receivable in pounds will decrease as compared to 6 months before

USD Value         55000

Exchange Rate  2.15

Price in Pounds      25581

Decrease in pounds = 27363-25581 = 1782 loss

Answer:

25581.40 Pounds

Explanation:

in this problem we firstly evaluate if the $55000 does include the margin of 20% for the old exchange rate which is $2.01/ pound which we will say ($55000)/($2.01/ pound) = 27363 Pounds therefore it is already adjusted to margin percentage then when we now calculate the new amount the company will receive with the new exchange rate taking place we will calculate also by dividing the dollar price of the jaguar by the new exchange rate of the dollar to the pound in order to find out the new pound price of the jaguar model. As we are told in this statement that for the next six months the jaguar will remain $55000 so we know that its dollar price will not change as jaguar has not hedged against currency changes therefore the UK price will be $55000/($2.15/pound) = 25581.40 Pounds as we see in this problem that the pound has really appreciated to the dollar because the UK price of the jaguar has dropped from 27363 Pounds to 25581.40 pounds.

he credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies imp
natulia [17]

Here is the full question.

The employee credit union at State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year. The credit union makes four types of loans to its members. In addition, the credit union invests in risk-free securities to stabilize income. The various revenue producing investments together with annual rates of return are as follows:

Type of Loan/Investment               Annual Rate of Return (%)

Automobile loans                                8

Furniture loans                                   10

Other secured loans                          11

Signature loans                                 12

Risk-free securities                            9

The credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies impose the following restrictions on the composition of the loans and investments.

Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of the total funds available for investment.

Signature loans may not exceed 10% of the funds invested in all loans (automobile, furniture, other secured, and signature loans).

Furniture loans plus other secured loans may not exceed the automobile loans.

Other secured loans plus signature loans may not exceed the funds invested in risk-free securities.

How should the $1.6 million be allocated to each of the loan/investment alternatives to maximize total annual return? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Automobile Loans $  

Furniture Loans $  

Other Secured Loans $  

Signature Loans $  

Risk Free Loans $  

What is the projected total annual return? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$  

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amount invested in:

Automobile loans be Xa,

Furniture Loans be Xf,

Other Secured Loans be Xo,

Signature loans be Xs,    &;

Risk-free loans be Xr

In reference  on the Annual returns rate given;

Total annual returns = 8%×Xa + 10%×Xf + 11%×Xo + 12%×Xs + 9%×Xr

The various constraints given can be written as follows:

Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs + Xr = 1,600,000-----Constraint for amount available for investment

Xr = 30%*1,600,000 ----- Constraint for maximum risk free investment

Xs = 10%*(Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs) -----  Constraint for maximum amount in signature loans

Xf + Xo = Xa ------- Constraint for Furniture and other secured loans

Xo + Xs = Xr  ------ Constraint for other secured loans and signature loans

Using the Excel Formula for solving this;

we have the following result.

Automobile Loans                     $ 504,000

Furniture Loans                         $ 136,000

Other Secured Loans               $ 368,000

Signature Loans                        $ 112,000

Risk-Free Loans                        $ 480,000

The projected total annual return = $ 151,040

The computation of the excel formula on how we arrived at those valid figures above is shown in the attached files below.

Thanks!

LO 2.2Explain the differences among fixed costs, variable costs, and mixed costs.
hjlf

Answer:

Explanation:

There are primarily two types of costs, i.e. variable costs and fixed costs. The variable cost is the cost that varies when the level of production changes, whereas the fixed cost is the cost that remains constant, whether the level of production changes or not.

Therefore, indirect material indirect labor, and factory supplies are included in the variable costs, and the fixed costs include supervision taxes and depreciation expenses.

The mixed cost is a mix combination of both the variable cost and the fixed cost which includes some components of fixed cost and some components of variable cost. It is also known as semi-variable cost

Example - transportation cost, tel communication cost, etc

An increase in nominal GDP Group of answer choices is both per capita and absolute real economic growth. is per capita real econ
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

does not necessarily mean either absolute or per capita real economic growth.

Explanation:

Nominal GDP can increase due to high inflation, and that is not real growth since the purchasing power of individuals, businesses and the government doesn't grow. Real GDP growth would mean absolute economic growth.

The GDP per capita measures the GDP divided by the total population of a country, so the nominal GDP or real GDP could grow, but if that growth is less than the population's growth, then the nominal and real GDP per capita will still decrease.
