Answer:

The interest rate is higher in the US.

Explanation:

The forward price is calculated using the following formula,

F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t

where,

  • F = Forward rate
  • S = Spot rate
  • Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
  • Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
  • t = time in years

We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD

The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.

We can see this by the following example,

Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)

F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1   => $1.362 PER 1EUR

A company pays each of its two office employees each Friday at the rate of $210 per day for a five-day week that begins on Monda
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Correct answer is:

Debit Salaries Expense $840

Credit Salaries Payable $840

Explanation:

2 employees each paid at $ 210 per day so daily salary expense is $210*2 = $420.

The accounting period ends on Tuesday and both employees work for Monday and Tuesday so the 2 days salaries expense is $420*2= $840.

As the salaries are paid on every Friday so there is a liability on a company for the 2 days salary payable to be recorded on accounting period close date i.e Tuesday.

New corporate bond issues in excess of $50,000,000 are:________.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: C. II and III

Explanation:

Under the Security Act of 1933, new corporate bond issues of such high amounts are not exempt from the Act and so need to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Also, as the amount exceeds $50,000,000, the issue is subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 which states that the issuer should include certain protective provisions that are recommended by the SEC in order to protect bondholders. The adherence to these covenants will then be monitored by an independent trustee that is to be appointed by the Issuer.

Suppose that the pound is pegged to gold at £20 per ounce and the dollar is pegged to gold at $35 per ounce. This implies an exc
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The exchange rate implies in exchange rate of $1.75 but current market exchange rate is $1.80 which means that the dollar is undervalued and pound is over valued in the market.

We will buy Dollar in the market and use these dollars to buy gold and then sell this gold in Euros

E.G Buy a $1000 from the market for £555(10,000*1/1.8)

After that we can by 28.5(1000/35) ounces of gold from that and sell the gold for £571(20*28.5). This way we make a profit of £16 (571-555) without taking any risk.

Admission prices to Dollywood are $50 for a one-day ticket, $80 for a two-day ticket, and $100 for an annual pass. Based on thes
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: b. $30; $20; $0

Explanation:

<em>Admission prices to Dollywood are $50 for a one-day ticket, $80 for a two-day ticket, and $100 for an annual pass. Based on these prices, the marginal cost of visiting Dollywood the second day is </em><em><u>$30</u></em><em>, the third day is </em><em><u>$20</u></em><em>, and the fourth day is </em><em><u>$0.</u></em>

The marginal cost is the extra cost per day of going to Dollywood.

Second day

Marginal cost = Second day price - First day

= 80 - 50

= $30

Third day

Marginal cost = Third day price - Second day

= 100 - 80

= $20

Fourth Day

Marginal cost = Fourth day price - third day

= 100 - 100

= $0
