Answer:

Fiduciary call.

Explanation:

Foreign exchange market can be defined as type of market in which the currency of one country is converted into that of another country.

For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.

A covered interest arbitrage can be defined as trading strategy in which an investor minimizes his or her currency risk by using a forward contract to hedge against the interest rate difference between two countries i.e the exchange rate risk. Thus, it's considered to be the most common interest rate arbitrage around the world.

Generally, when a protective put is combined with a forward contract it would generate equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a fiduciary call.

This ultimately implies that, a fiduciary call combines both a call option and a bond that's risk free and matures on the expiry date of an option.

Duffert Industries has total assets of $940,000 and total current liabilities (consisting only of accounts payable and accruals)

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

ROE = 13.04%

ROIC = 7.83%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total assets = $940,000

Total current liabilities = $130,000

Interest rate on its debt = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

The firm's basic earning power ratio = 14%

Debt-to capital rate = 40% = 0.40

Now,

Basis earning power = EBIT ÷ Total Assets

EBIT = Basis earning power × Total assets

= 14% × $940,000

= $131,600

Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity + Total Current Liabilities

$940,000 = Total Debt + Total equity + $130,000

Debt + Equity = $940,000 - $130,000

= $810,000

Debt to capital ratio = Debt ÷ [ Debt + Equity ]

0.40 = Debt ÷ $810,000

Total Debt = $324,000

Thus,

Debt + Equity = $810,000

$324,000 + Equity = $810,000

Equity = $810,000 - $324,000

= $486,000

Interest = 8% of Debt

= 0.08 × $324,000

= $25,920

Taxes = 40% of [ EBIT - Interest ]

= 0.40 × ($131,600 - $25,920 )

= $42,272

Therefore,

ROE = [ EBIT - interest - Taxes ] ÷ Equity

= [$131,600 - $25,920 - $42,272 ] ÷ $486,000

= 0.1304

= 13.04%

ROIC = [ EBIT - interest - Taxes ] ÷ Total capital

= [$131,600 - $25,920 - $42,272 ] ÷ [Debt + Equity]

= [$131,600 - $25,920 - $42,272 ] ÷ $810,000

= 0.0783 = 7.83%

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

c. $33.33 per housekeeping hour

Explanation:

The housekeeping department's activity rate is how much each housekeeping hour costs.

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

27000 hours cost $900000. How much does 1 hour cost?

27,000 hours - $900,000.

1 hour - $x.

$27000x = 900000$

$x = \frac{900000}{27000}$

$x = 33.33$

So the correct answer is:

c. $33.33 per housekeeping hour
