A U.S.-based importer, Zarb Inc., makes a purchase of crystal glassware from a firm in Switzerland for 39,960 Swiss francs, or $

24,000, at the spot rate of 1.665 francs per dollar. The terms of the purchase are net 90 days, and the U.S. firm wants to cover this trade payable with a forward market hedge to eliminate its exchange rate risk. Suppose the firm completes a forward hedge at the 90-day forward rate of 1.682 francs. If the spot rate in 90 days is actually 1.638 francs, how much will the U.S. firm have saved or lost in U.S. dollars by hedging its exchange rate exposure? Select one: a. -$396 b. -$243 c. $0 d. $243 e. $638

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.

Sale of treasury stock         Increase              NE                        Increase  Declare cash dividend            NE                   Increase                   NE

100% stock dividend              NE                        NE                      NE

2-for-1 stock split                    NE                       NE                         NE

When shares are sold or issued, they increase the stockholders equity as people buy these shares. They also increase assets because cash comes into the company when the shares are sold. This is why the Issuing of preference and common stock as well as the sale of Treasury shares had the same effects.

When cash dividends are declared, they become a liability that is owed to equity holders.

When these dividends are then paid, they remove the liability but reduce assets as cash is used to pay the dividends.

100% stock dividend reduces retained earnings but increases equity so stockholders equity does not change.

elena-s [515]

Answer:Inventory on hand Balance at the end = $4620

Explanation:

The question is unclear with regards to the requirements. however having dealt with questions of this nature in the past, I will assume the question requires us to calculate the cost of inventory on hand.

Opening Inventory balance = 180 x $28 =$5040

Purchased inventory = 290 x $30 = $8700

Cash sale (330 x $44) = $14520

Purchase inventory (230 x 34 ) = $7820

Cash sale (55 x $44) = $2420

Inventory on hand Balance = 5040+ 8700 - 14520 + 7820 - 2420

Inventory on hand Balance at the end = 4620 = $4620

hoa [83]

Answer:

the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is $282,900

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is shown below;

But before that first we have to determine the ending inventory units i.e.

= 280 + 380 + 480 + 290 - 1,200

= 230 units

So, the ending inventory is

= 230 units × $1,230

= $282,900

Hence, the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is $282,900
