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

AveGali [126]

Answer:

b) increase; fall; rises

Explanation:

Federal budget comes from tax revenues and was drained by transfer payments.

In a recession, firms go out of businesses and people don't spend much. There will be less tax on goods and firms' profits. On the other hand, more people become unemployed  and become entitled to receiving transfer payments.

All of the following questions are open-ended problems. You must compute an answer for every problem. For percentage answers, ca
DerKrebs [107]

Solution :

13. Net income = total assets x ROA

                   = $ 1,000,000 x 12%

                  = $ 120,000

Net Income for company is $120,000.

Net Profit margin = 4.25%

Total sales = net income / net profit margin

                  = $ 120,000 / 4.25%

                  = $ 2,823,529

Total sales for company is $ 2,823,529

14. Debt ratio = 72%

   So weight of debt = 72%

   Weight of equity = 1 - 72%

                                = 28%

   Debt equity ratio  $=\frac{72 \%}{28 \%}$  

                                 =  2.57

   Debt equity ratio is 2.57

15. Debt ratio = 42.50%

So, weight of debt = 42.50%

Weight of equity = 1 - 42.50%

                             = 57.50%

Weight of equity is 57.50%.

Return on equity = 15%.

Return on assets = 57.50% × 15%

                            = 8.625%

Return on assets is 8.625%.

16.

Debt Equity ratio = 1.45

Weight of debt = 59.18%

Weight of equity = 40.82%

Return on assets = 16%

Return on equity = 16% / 40.82%

                              = 39.20%

Return on equity is 39.20%.

17.

Total Assets turnover = Sales / Total Assets

                                     = (Net Income / Total Assets) / (Net Income / Sales)

                                    = ROA / Net Profit margin

                                      = 7.50% / 15%

                                      = 0.50

Total Assets turnover is 0.50.
