Answer:
59% - a)increase - b)decrease
Explanation:
First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.
Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).
Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).
With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.
Answer:
The net benefit is -$26,000
Explanation:
Given the above information,
The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Total purchase price
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Fixed overhead cost applied
= 12,000 × $6
= $72,000
The rental income = $46,000
Outsourcing cost
= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income
= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000
= $434,000
Therefore, Net benefit
= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost
=$408,000 - $434,000
= -$26,000
Answer: -$100
Explanation:
Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond
Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond
Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum
= 8% / 2 = 4%
3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.
= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)
= $1,020.342
= $1,020
Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020
= -$100
Answer:
Correct option is 6.59
Explanation:
Selling price of stock at the end of the year is $6.99. Annual return rate is 6%. Price of stock at the beginning will be present value of stock valued at the end discounted at 6%. Computation is as shown below:
= $6.59
Therefore, Stock's price in the beginning of the year is $6.59.
