Answer:

Final Value= $51,312.68

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly deposit= $150

Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005

Number of months= 9*12= 108

First, we need to calculate the future value of the first investment. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

FV= {150*[(1.005^108)-1]} / 0.005

FV= $21,410.99

The second part of the investment:

Number of years= 15

Annual interest rate= 6%

<u>I will assume that the interest rate is annually compounded now. </u>If this is not the case, just change the interest rate (0.005) and "n" (15*12=180)

We need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV=21,410.99* (1.06^15)

FV= $51,312.68

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.

Applewood, Inc. has a contract with Marco's Electronics to sell Marco's 500 car audio systems at a price of $100 each. Applewood
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Applewood can stop the shipment and have the goods returned (the right of stoppage of goods).

Explanation:

When the buyer becomes insolvent while the goods are in transit, and the goods have not been paid yet, then the seller has the right to stop the delivery and resume possession of the goods.

Applewood could also try to sue Marco for specific performance but considering their current position it might be useless and actually result in more money invested and larger losses.

Product Differentiation has to do with making a product unique from that of its rivals so that it'll be attractive to the customers and the target market.
