Answer:

Keeping its interest rates low

Explanation:

Interest rates correlate with the exchange rate of a country. Low-interest rates are unattractive to foreign investors. Investors associate low-interest rates with reduced returns. In the foreign exchange market, the demand for such a country's currency will below, resulting in a lower exchange rate against other currencies.

If a country has low-interest rates, its currency will be in low demand, meaning its strength will be relatively weaker against the US dollar. One dollar will be able to buy a large quantity of goods and services from such a country. In other words, that country's exports will be cheaper in the USA.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Cost of inventory =$73,280

Explanation:

The term 3/10 implies that the company would get a discount of 3% off the gross purchase price if its settles its account within 10 days of purchase. Since the payment was made 9 days after then the discount is secured.

Net purchase price = Gross amount - discounts

Net purchase price = 74,000 - (3%× 74,000)=$71780

The cost of inventory = 71,780 + 1500= 73280

Cost of inventory =$73,280

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$10 profit

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the profit or loss to a short position.

Firstly, we identify that the spot price of market index is $900.

Now, a three months forward contract equals a value of $930.

Raising the index to $920 at the expiry date is obviously a profit to the short position.

To calculate the profit here, we simply subtract the index at expiry date from the three months forward contract.

Mathematically, this is equal to $930-$920 = $10 profit

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Joel is behaving in a totally unprofessional & unethical manner

Explanation:

As assistant controller, Joel Kimmel's job specification & responsibility includes financial statement preparation & combination, putting of internal controls in place, detailed analysis & reporting of cost variance, acts as the go-between with external auditors amongst other such responsibilities.

As such, when Joel discovered the cost discrepancy during the reconciliation, it was actually his responsibility to call the bank's attention to the variance. This is something that clearly falls under his job specification & can be considered as neglect of duty. Joel's decision defeats the very purpose of bank reconciliation, which is to correct any such discrepancy & to the ensure the rectification of transactions. Most importantly, the decision Joel plans to take is very unethical & is against standard accounting practices

We can therefore, say that Joel's decision is thoroughly unethical & unprofessional

Giving the following information:

Conversion costs for Department B were 50% complete concerning the 6,000 units in the beginning work in process and 75% complete for the 8,000 units in the ending work in process. A total of 12,000 units were completed and transferred out of Department B during February.

With the information provided, we can calculate the number of equivalent units of the period.

Beginning work in process = 6,000*0.5= 3,000

Units started and completed = 12,000 - 3,000= 9,000

Ending work in process completed= 8,000*0.75= 6,000

Number of equivalent units= 18,000
