Answer:

$73,070.5

Explanation:

Inflation erodes the value of money. It makes more quantity of money to required to buy the same basket of food and services in the future.

With inflation, to calculate the the quantity of Dollars needed in n years time, we use the formula;

Inflated amount = h × (1 + f)^n

h= amount required today, f - inflation rate, n- number of years

So if Farrell needs $400,000 in 6 years time in real terms, with an inflation of 5% per year, he would need to have a quantity of money equal to

1.05^6 × 400,000 = $536,038.3.

To provide for $536,038.3  in 6 years time, he would need to contribute into a sinking fund on a yearly basis, an equal amount denoted as "A" in the formula below:

FV = A ×  ((1+r)^n  - 1)/r

FV - 536,038.3, r - 8%, n = 6

536,038.3 = A × ((1+0.08 )^(6) - 1)/0.08)

536, 038.3 = A × 7.3359

536,038.3/7.3359 = A

$73,070.5  = A

Farrell should invest at the end of every year

$73,070.5

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. reduces; reduce.

Explanation:

Economic exposure is a type of exposure to exchange rate risk caused by the effect of unexpected currency fluctuations on a company's cash flows, foreign investment, and future earnings.

Economic exposure, also known as operating exposure, can have a substantial impact on a company's market value, as it has far-reaching effects and is long-term in nature. Companies can protect themselves against unexpected currency fluctuations by investing in currency markets (FX).

Unlike transaction exposure and conversion exposure (the other two types of currency exposure), economic exposure is difficult to measure accurately and therefore difficult to hedge. Economic exposure is also relatively difficult to hedge because it faces unexpected changes in exchange rates, unlike expected changes in exchange rates, which form the basis of companies' budget forecasts.

tester [92]

Answer: b. The company will be flooded with applications from individuals who are barely qualified.

Explanation:

By putting job advertisements on popular websites which are full of people looking for jobs, the company will attract people who are underqualified but apply anyway on the off chance that they are called for an interview. The company will incur costs sifting through the applications to find suitable candidates.

This will be a waste of the company's resources as those resources could have been directed at getting prospective employees that would be a better fit with the company and have the relevant qualifications. This could have been done by going to a recruiting agency for instance.
