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

Answer:

Cost of Equity = 11.30%

Explanation:

Computation Cost for Equity

Using Gordon Model

Market Price = [Dividend × (1 + Growth Rate )] / (Cost of Equity - Growth Rate)

41.08 = [$3.01 × (1 + 0.037)] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)

41.08 = [$3.01 × (1.037)] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)

Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $3.12 / 41.08

Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $0.076

Cost of Equity = 0.076 + 0.037

Cost of Equity = 0.1130

Cost of Equity = 11.30%

Answer:

total overhead costs for blending department = $342,000

total machine hours blending department = 2,960

overhead rate per machine hour = $342,000 / 2,960 hours = $115.5405405 per machine hour

total overhead costs for packaging department = $324,000

total direct labor hours packaging department = 800

overhead rate per direct labor hour = $324,000 / 800 hours = $405 per machine hour

product             blending department             packaging department

Whole milk       1,210 x $115.54 = $139,804     260 x $405 = $105,300

Skim milk          980 x $115.54 = $113,230       280 x $405 = $113,400

Cream               770 x $115.54 = $88,966       260 x $405 = $105,300

total                       $342,000                                 $324,000

total overhead rate assigned to each product:

product          blending dep.          packaging dep.           total

Whole milk       $139,804                   $105,300               $245,104
