Group of answer choices.

A. German tourists traveling abroad.

B. American tourists traveling in France.

C. Canadian firms selling in Germany.

D. Canadian investors with money investments in Germany.

Answer:

B. American tourists traveling in France.

Explanation:

A foreign exchange market can be defined as a type of market where the currency of a country is converted to that of another country.

For example, the conversion of the United States of America dollars into naira, rands, yen, pounds, euros, etc., at the foreign exchange market.

In this context, a stronger euro is less favorable for American tourists traveling in France because the currency of the Americans, which is the U.S dollars would exchange at a far lesser rate to the euros.

However, a stronger euro would be more favorable for German tourists that are traveling abroad, Canadian firms that trade or sells its products in Germany, and Canadian investors who are having money investments in Germany.

Note: Euro is the official currency (legal tender or money) of Germany.

a. Cash basis - Service revenue is $900

b. Accrual basis - Service revenue is $2,100 (which is $1200 + $900)

Explanation:

In accounting, there are 2 basis for recognizing transactions; these are cash basis and accrual basis.

In cash basis, sales and expenses are not recorded unless cash has been collected and paid respectively. In the accrual basis of accounting, expenses and sales are recorded when incurred and earned respectively.

Revenue earned under the accrual basis would therefore include the revenue for which cash has been collected and those for which cash is yet to be collected.

Explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement.

butalik [34]

Answer: AGREE

Explanation:

A Monopoly faces no competition and are the only sellers of the product they sell. If firms in an industry successfully engage in collusion, the resultant effect will definitely be not unlike a Monopoly because they will set prices as a single firm, control output as a single firm and essentially run the market as a single firm.

They will sell at a rate where the Marginal Revenue curve will be below the demand curve. This will mean a higher price than a competitive market which was probably the main incentive for collusion.

A recent example would be the collusion between BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen, to hinder technological progress in improving the quality of vehicle emissions in order to reduce the cost of production and maximize profits. Thankfully this was busted by the European Commission in 2019.

Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer. The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exact

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer

a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:

A$ 1 = ¥90

Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90

b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:

= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90

= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90

= ¥351.26214 =A$1

c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.

d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:

(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:

Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =

A$ 1,333,333.33333

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667

(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:

Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =

A$4 million

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million

Explanation:

a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.

b) If A$ 1 = ¥90

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.
