Answer:
e. $638
Explanation:
payment to be made as per forward contract (IN $)
= 39960/ 1.682
= $23757.43
now the actual rate after 90 days is 1.638
payment at 1.638 rate = 39960/ 1.638
= $24395.6
loss by hedging = $24395.6 - $23757.43
= $638.17
Therefore, The U.S. firm have saved or lost $638 in U.S. dollars by hedging its exchange rate exposure.
Answer:
d. 5.08%
Explanation:
We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.
To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.
IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)
then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:
IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt
0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08
The public debt is the amount of money that a government owes to outside debtors. Public debt allows governments to raise funds to grow their economy or pay for services. Politicians prefer to raise public debt rather than raise taxes. When public debt reaches 77% of GDP or higher, the debt begins to slow growth.

So after completion of these analysis and research, company is able to set goals.
Always remember that the company sets its goals before marketing planning (Option A) and after situation analysis (Option B) because it helps define what number of sales we need which formulates the marketing planning.
Option C is incorrect because strategies are set after the objectives and goals are set because the strategies are always alligned with the objectives and goals.
Option E is incorrect because Goals and Objectives are set always after the SWOT and PESTLE analysis not during these studies.
Here the only only option with broader meaning is option D which also includes the Option A and Option B.
