Answer:

A. 3403.75 dollars

B. 3150

C. 0.579

D. Is an attachment

Explanation:

A. We first find the premium cost

= 0.05x5000 x 1+0.06/4

= 250x1.015

= 253.75

From here we find expected dollar cost

= Exchange rate x units + premium

= 0.63x5000+253.75

= 3,403.75 dollars

B. Forward rate = 0.63

Total cost of dollar

= 0.63x5000

= 3150

C. The investor would be indifferent at 0.579

Forward rate = unit * future + premium

3150 = 5000 * future + 253.75

3150-253.75 = 5000*future

We solve and divide through by 5000

Future = 0.579

D is in the attachment

Pets Inc. makes 2 products, dog collars and cat collars. Each passes through the cutting machine, which is the binding constrain
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Dog Collar 10,000 units

Cat Collar 15,000 units

Explanation:

We have only constraint of 2,000 hours on the cutting machine.

First we will calculate the Contribution margin per hour

Contribution margin per hour = Contribution margin per unit / Numbers of hours required per unit

Dog Collar = $10 / (6/60)hours = 10 / 0.1 = $100 per hour

Cat Collar = $8 / (4/60) hours = $120 per hour

Pets Inc. will make Cat collar more than dog

Hours required for 15,000 unit of Cat Collar = 15000 x 4 / 60 = 1,000 hours

Hours for Dog Collars = 2,000 - 1000 = 1000 hour

Unit of Dog Collar = 1000 hours / (6/60) = 10,000 units
