The general relationship between spot and forward exchange rates is specified by a concept called interest rate parity. It speci

fies that investors should expect to earn same return in all countries after adjusting for risk. The relationship is expressed in the following equation: Both the forward and spot rates are expressed in terms of the amount of home currency received per unit of foreign currency. Your overall return will be higher than the investment's stated return if the currency in which your investment is denominated appreciates relative to your home currency. On the other hand, your overall return will be lower if the foreign currency you receive -Select-decreases in value. If this relationship doesn't hold, currency traders will buy and sell currencies engaging in arbitrage until the relationship does hold.Quantitative Problem: Assume that interest rate parity holds. In the spot market 1 Japanese yen = $0.005, while in the 180-day forward market 1 Japanese yen = $0.0052. 180-day risk-free securities yield 1.35% in Japan. What is the yield on 180-day risk-free securities in the United States? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations. _____________%.

Answer: -2.55%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate Forward Rate is:

Forward Rate = Spot rate X \frac{1 + I_{O} }{1 + I_{D} }

where I_{O} is the Interest rate of the overseas country and

I_{D} is the Interest rate of the domestic country

$0.0052 = 0.005 X  \frac{1 + 0.0135 }{1 + I_{D} }

$0.0052 X {1 + I_{D} } =  0.005 X  1.0135

$0.0052 X {1 + I_{D} } =  0.0050675

{1 + I_{D} } =  \frac{0.0050675}{0.0052}

{1 + I_{D} } =  0.9745 - 1

{I_{D} } =  - 0.02548  

The yield on 180-day risk-free securities in the United States is -2.55%

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

goldfiish [28.3K]

The two optimal two part price that would be suggested to Verizon is Unit per Fee = $1 and Lump Sum fee or fixed fee = $99

Explanation:

Solution

For us fully maximize profit under two part price It should gives  that amount of wireless service at which P = MC and and also charge Lump sum fee or fixed fee equals to the consumers surplus that consumer will have.

Now,

marginal cost= MC  = 1 and P = 100 - 25Q.

Thus,

P = MC => 100 - 25Q = 1 => Q = 2

Then,

The Consumer surplus is the above area Price of  line which is (iP = 1) and below is the curve of demand

Now,

P = 100, When Q = 0 The Consumer surplus = (1/2)*base*height

= (1/2)*(100 - 1)*2 = 99

Therefore, Fixed fee or The Lump Sum fee = 99

However, the  Optimal two part pricing is denoted by:
