Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

June Futures Contract = 500000 Pesos (MXN)

And Number of Contracts Sold = 8

And, Initial Exchange Rate = 0.10773 $ / MXN

Now

Initial Position Value is

= 8 × 500000 × 0.10773

= $430920

Now

(a) The value of her position is

Final Exchange Rate = $0.12002 / MXN

Final Position Value is

= 8 × 500000 × 0.12002

= $480080

So,  

Net Position Value is

= 430920 - 480080

= - $49160

And,

(b) The value of her position is

Final Exchange Rate = $0.09802 / MXN

Final Position Value is

= 8 × 500000 × 0.09802

= $392080

So,

Net Position Value is

= 430920 - 392080

= $38840

Job A offers you the following financial package: base salary of $35,000, 2 weeks paid vacation, full coverage health insurance
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The first one offers the best financial advantage

Explanation:

After reading carefully both offers, the first one does not imply any charges on the employee because both, health insurance and vacations, are full covered. On the other hand, when we analyze the second offer, despite the base salary is $5000 higher, the health insurance is deducted from the employee's pay check. Comparing both offers with numbers we have:

Net Salary=Base salary-insurance-vacations\\First Offer= 35000-0-0 = 35000\\SecondOffer= 40000-110*52-0=34280\\

Finally, we can conclude that the first offer has a $720 advantage over the second one. Therefore, it is better to choose it.
