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.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Monthly deposit= $2,625.16

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028

Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192

<u>First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:</u>

PV= FV / (1 + i)^n

FV= 8,028

i= 0.00192

n= 9 months

PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)

PV= $7,890.6

<u>Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:</u>

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

A= monthly deposit

Isolating A:

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

A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]

A= $2,625.16

Anheuser-Busch InBev Companies, Inc., reported the following operating information for a recent year (in millions of dollars): N
qwelly [4]

Answer:

a) Break even = 480.5 units ≈ 481 Million units

b) Breakeven = 8,014,162,500 units

Explanation:

calculations are in millions

Breakeven = fixed costs / contribution per unit

selling price per unit = $47063/400 = $117.66

Variable cost = ($18756*75%) + ($31755*50%) = $14067 +15877.50 =$29944.5/400 units =$74.86

contribution = $117.66-$74.86 = $42.80

fixed costs = ( $18756*25%) +( $31755*50%) =  $4689 + 15877.50 = $20566.50

Breakeven = $20566.50/$42.80 = 480.5 units

b) calculations

fixed costs = 20,566,500 + 300,000,000

                 = 320,566,500

break even = $320,566,500 /0.04

                  = 8,014,162,500 units

On January 1, 2018, Byner Company purchased a used tractor Byner paid $3,000 down and signed a noninterest-bearing note requirin
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

tractor   35,127,42 debit

      note payable         32,172.42  credit

     cash                           3,000     credit

--to record issuance--

Note payale end of 2018

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Note payable at the end of 2019

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Explanation:

As the note has zero.interest we discount the note to get the present value:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $44,000.0000  

time   3.00  

rate  0.11

\frac{44000}{(1 + 0.11)^{3} } = PV  

PV   32,172.42  

The difference will be a discount that will acrrue interest overtime.

the truck will enter the accounting net of interest charges thus:

3,000 downpayment + 32,127.42 = 35,127.42‬

interest will be: 32,127.42 x 1.11 = 32,127.41

<u><em>Then, do the same for 2019</em></u>

(32,127.41 + 3,532.0162) x 1.11 = 39,584.19
