Answer:

A) $10124.83

B) 1.0125%

Explanation:

1) We are told that the present charge for a luxury suite is RM 1,045/day.

This means that the charge after one year will also include inflation charge.

Thus;

Charge after 1 year = 1045 × (1 + 2.75%)

= 1045 × 1.0275 = RM 1,073.7375 per day

For 30 days, charge is;

1073.7375 × 30 = RM 32212.125

Spot exchange rate in 1 year = spot rate × (1 + RM inflation rate)/(1 + US inflation rate)

Spot exchange rate in 1 year = 3.135 × (1 + 2.75%)/(1 + 1.25%) = 3.135 × 1.0275/1.0125 = 3.1815

Cost needed one year to pay for 30 day vacation = 32212.125/3.1815 = $10124.83

B) percent by which the dollar cost will have gone​ up = (10124.83/10000) × 100% = 1.0125%

swat32

Answer: 3.39

Explanation: Current ratio can be defined as a liquidity ratio which is used by the accountants the evaluate the ability of the company to pay its short term obligations. It can be computed as follows :-

current\ ratio=\frac{curret\ assets}{current\ liabilities}

where,

current assets = $38,500 + $100,000 + $90,500 + $126,000 + $13,100 = $368,100

current liabilities = $108,400

now putting the values into equation we get :-

current\ ratio=\frac{368,100}{108,400}

                             = 3.39
