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

The result of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions was to:____
postnew [5]

Answer: d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.

Explanation:

In December 1997, signatories accounting for around 70% of World Trade adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions which stated that countries must install Legislative laws that would prohibit the bribing of foreign officials as well as strict penalties for parties who engage in such. This was done to ensure that the playing field was level so to speak instead of one company getting special treatment because they paid for it.

One concern however was that the Convention did not consider Facilitating Payments a criminal offence which means that it could be used as a bypass for the bribery of foreign officials to still happen.
