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?

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.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The owner's equity amounts to $1,040,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the owner's equity is as:

Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities

Where

Assets = Land + Machinery + Cash

= $1,500,000 + $30,000 + $10,000

= $1,500,000 + $40,000

= $1,540,000

Liabilities = Loan

= $500,000

Putting the values above in the formula:

= $1,540,000 - $500,000

= $1,040,000

How did speculative investing weaken the stability of the stock market?
tiny-mole [99]
<span>Heavy speculation is a bad idea in any market since it has a tendency to inflate prices to unrealistic levels. That is basically what many investors prior to the Great Depression did when they thought the market would keep going higher and higher. They borrowed money, sold their houses, etc.. to buy into the stock market thanks to that kind of speculation without even considering the underlying reasons for why the market is there in the first place.</span>
