Answer:

The Hi-Stakes Company

a. If the direct exchange rate increases, the dollar strengthens relative to the other currency.

b. If the indirect exchange rate increases, the dollar also strengthens relative to the other currency.

Explanation:

When the exchange rate increases, it means that more of the other currency is required in order to embark on importing and exporting transactions.  However, the increases will weaken the ability of the importing currency to afford the dollar-based goods, which have then being made more expensive.

A company’s perpetual preferred stock has a par value of $65 per share and it pays a dividend rate of 6.25% per year. The prefer
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %

Explanation:

<em>A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future. </em>

<em>A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:  </em>

Cost of preferred stock = D/P(1-f) × 100

D- Preference dividend

P- stock price

F- flotation cost

Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value

DATA

Nominal value = $65

Stock price = $58.63  

Dividend rate=6.25%

Flotation cost = 6.5%

Preference dividend = 6.25%× 65 = 4.063

Cost of preferred stock =(4.063 /58.63×(1-0.065) × 100 = 7.41  %

Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1) Japanese buyers of pharmaceuticals.

Instead of focusing on U. S pharmaceuticals, we can look for Japanese buyers of pharmaceuticals. The fact should be acknowledged that if both the policies result in the same quantity which is being imported, then the price paid by the Japanese buyers will be identical as well.

2) Japanese producers of pharmaceuticals.

If both policies are resulting in the same quantity of the import, then the Japanese producers should be indifferent to which trade restriction is selected.
