Answer:
The interest rate is higher in the US.
Explanation:
The forward price is calculated using the following formula,
F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t
where,
- F = Forward rate
- S = Spot rate
- Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
- Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
- t = time in years
We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD
The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.
We can see this by the following example,
Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)
F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1 => $1.362 PER 1EUR
Answer:
Deposited amount will decrease by 1% and $2,000
Explanation:
Inflation rate will effect the value of money due to decrease in purchasing power of the currency holder.
We will use following formula to calculate the impact
Nominal rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate
5% = Real interest rate + 6%
Real interest rate = 5% - 6% = -1%
The deposited amount will be decreased by 1%.
Deposit value = $200,000 x ( 1 - 1% ) = $198,000
Decrease in value = $200,000 - $198,000 = $2,000
Answer: 2 kanban card sets will be needed.
Explanation: 20% of 10 gauges gives the safety inventory stock.
This will be 20/100 ×10=2
But 10 gauges are produced per hour out of which 2 will be kept as safety inventory stock, making it to be 10-2=8gauges per hour.
Number of kanban cards used for transporting gauges 8/5=1.6
1.6= 2to the nearest whole number.
