Answer:

B)  ¥6092.53

Explanation:

We can hedge the risk by buying dollars forward contract at a price of ¥106.02/$ which is 90 days forward rate because the payment is due in 90 days. The total contract would amount to ¥106.02/$ * $377,287 = ¥39,999,967.74

The second alternative is to buy dollar at todays date. The present value of the dollars will be ;

$377,287 / 1.008125 = $374,246.25  

If we buy dollars at spot rate then,

¥106.35/$ × $374,246.25 = ¥39,801,088.69

The future value of yen will be :

¥39,801,088.69 × (1.00484375) = ¥39,993,875.2

The difference between the two alternatives will be :

¥39,999,967.74 -  ¥39,993,875.2 =  ¥6092.53

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

c used goods were included in the GDP calculation

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export

If used goods are included in the calculation of GDP, it would be double counting because the good would have been included in the calculation of GDP when it was newly produced.
