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.

Williamson Industries has $7 billion in sales and $2 billion in fixed assets. Currently, the company's fixed assets are operatin
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: Williamson industries would have obtained $7.78 billion in sales

Explanation: According to the question, the company is having a total of $2 billion in fixed assets. The fixed assets are currently operating at 90% (0.9) of its total capacity. At his level, the company is able to achieve a sales figure of $7 billion. The implication is as follows;

Fixed assets (at 100%) = 2 billion

Fixed assets (at 90%) = 2 * 0.9

Fixed assets (at 90%) = 1.8

If the company utilizes $1.8 billion to achieve a $7 billion sales figure, then operating at full capacity (100%) would yield the following;

7/x = 90/100

(Where x equals sales level at 100% capacity)

7/x = 0.9

Cross multiply

x = 7/0.9

x = 7.7777...

x ≈ 7.78

Therefore, if Williamson Industries had been operating at full capacity, it would have obtained a sales level of $7.78 billion
