Answer: C. Buy pounds forward.

Explanation:

The investor borrowed in pounds which means that they would have to pay back in pounds. They would therefore need pounds at the end of the investment period but need to be sure of the rate they are converting back to so as to reduce currency risk.

The way to cater for this risk would be to buy pounds in the forward market at a guaranteed rate so that when they are to pay back the pounds, they buy it at the rate they agreed to in the forward market, regardless of what the rate is in the spot market when they want to pay back the pounds.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

(A) $144,000.

Explanation:

For computing the indirect costs allocated to the Commercial Department first we have to compute the per unit cost which is shown below:

Per unit cost = (Allocated department overhead indirect cost) ÷ (total number of direct labor hours)

=  $396,000 ÷ 22,000

= $18

The total number of direct labor hours = Consumer + commercial

                                                                = 14,000 + 8,000

                                                                = 22,000

Now the indirect cost equal to

= Per unit cost × Commercial direct labor hours

= $18 × 8,000

= $144,000

Answer:

The correct answer is comparable worth.

Explanation:

Comparable worth is a legal concept that applies to workplaces. In essence, this concept argues that all jobs or positions that are considered by the employer of similar value must be compensated in the same way, regardless of the gender of the employee. In some places, this concept of equal pay for work of equal value is also about inequality in remuneration based on race or sexual orientation. At its heart, comparable value focuses on ensuring that people who are contributing to acceptable levels for a business or other organization are compensated equally and without any prejudice or discrimination.
