Answer:

Borrow in dollars then at spot rate convert money to british pound. Invest in the pounds for half a year and convert back to dollars.

Explanation:

Access to credit = $20000000

We do a conversion to pounds

= 20000000/2

= £10000000

When this is invested for 6 months

10000000 x 1 +4% x6/12

= 10000000(1+0.04*0.5)

= 10000000x1.02

= 10200000

We then make a conversion back to dollars

10200000 x 2.2

= 22,440,000 dollars

Loan to be repaid

20000000(1+6%x6/12)

= 20000000 x 1 +0.06*0.5

= 20000000 x 1.03

= 20,600,000

Then arbitrage profit = 22440000 - 20600000

= 1840000

A company has revenue of $1000 in 2009. Our current estimate is that revenues will grow 25% per year. Our profit each year will
Dominik [7]

Answer:

85.3%

Explanation:

since profits = 20% of total revenue, so total revenue = $15,000 / 20% = $75,000

That means that total revenue must grow from $1,000 to $75,000 in just 7 years. We can use the future value formula to determine the growth rate:

future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ

$75,000 = $1,000 x (1 + r)⁷

(1 + r)⁷ = $75,000 / $1,000 = 75

⁷√(1 + r)⁷ = ⁷√75

1 + r = 1.853

r = 1.853 - 1 = 0.853 = 85.3%

Can an individual's financial situation change his or her views of what is
lesantik [10]
Yes. Once someone is in a difficult financial situation, they may have to give up some wants and desires in place of things they need. If money is tight, they should rather use what money they have to pay pills and buy food, and not purchase items they want like toys or videogames. When faced with a bad financial situation, an individual is forced to separate what they believe is a want and a need, and choose between the two.

Divide the following by short division:<br> 3) 186
Goryan [66]

Answer:

62

Explanation:

I first divided 3 into 180 which is 60 because 18 divided by 3 is 6 and then you add back on that 0 getting to 60.  Then for the 6, divide that by 3, which is 2 which you add to the 60 getting to 62.

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
