The nominal exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency. A nominal exchange rate specifies how many

units of one country's currency are needed to buy one unit of another country's currency. Suppose the following table presents nominal exchange rate data for November 26, 2014, in terms of U.S. dollars per unit of foreign currency. Use the information in the table to answer the questions that follow.
Foreign Currency Cost of one unit Foreign Currency

Brazilian real (BRL) 0.5148
Canadian dollar (CAD) 0.9213
Euro (EUR) 1.3457
Japanese yen (JPY) 0.008226
Mexican peso (MXN) 0.0926
United Kingdom pound (GBP) 1.9695

Suppose that on November 26, 2014, a marble statue handmade in Canada is priced at CAD 1,700. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the statue would be_______ . If the nominal exchange rate for the U.S. dollar–euro rises from $1.3457 to $1.547555 per euro, the euro_______ in value, or_________ , relative to the U.S. dollar.

Answer:

Approximate price of marble statue in USD is:

= Price of statue * Foreign Currency Cost of one unit

= 1,700 * 0.9213

= US$‭1,566.21‬

<em>If the nominal exchange rate for the U.S. dollar–euro rises from $1.3457 to $1.547555 per euro, the euro </em><em><u>appreciated</u></em><em> in value, or </em><em><u>appreciated</u></em><em>, relative to the U.S. dollar.</em>

If this direct rate increases from $1.3457 to $1.547555 per euro, it means that one Euro can now buy more dollars than before which means that it gained/ appreciated in value relative to the USD.

For instance: Before the change, €10 = 10 * 1.3457 = $10.3457

After the change, €10 = 10 * 1.547555 = 10.547555

Euro therefore became stronger relative to the USD.

John Q. Investor manages an equity portfolio with a market value of $3,000,000. The portfolio beta is 1.6. John Q. finds this so
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Portfolio Beta  = 1.2815

Explanation:

given data

market value = $3,000,000

portfolio beta = 1.6

sells = 25

times index = $10

currently trading = 15379

to find out

anticipates that this hedge will reduce the portfolio beta to

solution

we get number of contract to sell is here

number of contract to sell = Portfolio Beta × \frac{Portfolio\ value}{index\ value\ * multiplier}      ......................1

put here value we get

25 = Portfolio Beta × \frac{3,000,000}{15379 * 10}

solve it we get

Portfolio Beta  = 1.2815

Which among the forces in the macroeconomics has the most impact on a company? why?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Gross Domestic Product

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product or GDP is the most important macroeconomic variable because it measures the amount of goods and services that are produced within an economy in a given year. In other words, GDP is one of the most accurate measures of economic activity that economists have found so far.

GDP impacts companies because they depend on external market forces to stay afloat. If GDP falls one year, this means that economic activity declined, and companies are likely to feel the effects of it in the form of lower sales, lower revenues, less profits, less hiring, more firing, etc.

Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of , while lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of . Su
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of <u>LEMONS</u>, while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of <u>COFFEE</u>. Suppose that Candonia and Lamponia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of <u>36</u> million pounds of coffee and <u>36</u> million pounds of lemons.

Explanation:

Since a lot of information was missing, I looked it up and found the attached graphs. The graphs referred to production of coffee and lemons, but I guess they are similar questions.

For every pound of lemons that Candonia produces, it will not be able to produce ¹/₂ pounds of coffee (opportunity cost of producing lemons instead of coffee).

For every pound of coffee that Lamponia produces, it will not be able to produce 1¹/₂ pounds of lemons (opportunity cost of producing coffee instead of lemons).

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Under the periodic inventory system, the companies evaluate the COGS (Cost of goods sold) at the end of the accounting year or the fiscal period. And the details of the goods on hand which are not available, in this system.

And under the perpetual inventory system, this offer better control over the inventories rather than the periodic inventory system. And this system requires the COGS (Cost of goods sold) to be acknowledged at the time of sale and it contain the more accurate value of goods on hand.

Therefore, the statement which is correct is that the perpetual inventory system, offer better control over inventories.

dupe's age and olu's add upto 25 years. Eight years ago , dupe was twice as old as olu. how old are they now?​
Bas_tet [7]

Dupe's present age = 14 years

Olu's present age = 11 years

Explanation:

  • Let Dupe's age be x. Let Olu's age be y. Since their ages add up to 25 years, x + y = 25
  • Eight years ago Dupe's age was double that of Olu's age. Solving by simultaneous equations. Four methods are Elimination Method, Graphical Method, Substitution Method, and    Matrix Method. Let us try out Elimination method for solving a pair of simultaneous linear equations that reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable. Once this has been done, the solution is the same as that for when one line was vertical or parallel.
  • Therefore, eight years ago, Dupe's age was 6 and Olu's age was 3 so that x=2y becomes, 6=2*3. Eight years hence, x=6+8=14 and y=3+8=11. That makes, x or Dupe's age as 14 years and y or Olu's age as 11 years.
