The fed increases the quantity of money. in the short run, the quantity of money demanded ______ and the nominal interest rate _
Nimfa-mama [501]

The quantity of money demanded <u>increases</u> and the nominal interest rate <u>falls.</u>

In the short run, if the Fed(Federal Reserve) increases the quantity of money, the quantity of money demanded will increase and the nominal interest rate falls.  

The quantity of the money supplied and the nominal interest rates has an inverse relation. That is, when there is a huge supply of money in a short-term, it will cause an increase in the nominal interest rate.

The nominal interest rate refers to the interest rate before adjusting to inflation or price-hike. It balances the supply and demand of money.

So when there is an increase in the supply of money ,there will be the resulting increase in the demand of money too. The total money that the population wants to hold is referred as the money demanded.

Retained earnings:40)A)Generally consists of a company's cumulative net income less any net losses and dividends declared since
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Generally consists of a company's cumulative net income less any net losses and dividends declared since its inception.

Explanation:

Retained Earnings is the portion of the net earnings of a company that it does not pay as dividends to stakeholders. The corporation retains this money and reinvests it or uses it to pay off a portion of its debt. <em>Retained earnings are calculated by taking the retained earnings at the beginning of the period and adding the current year's net income. Then, net losses are subtracted. The final result represents the retained earnings of the period.</em>

Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer.  The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exact
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer

a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:

A$ 1 = ¥90

Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90

b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:

= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90

= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90

= ¥351.26214 =A$1

c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.

d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:

(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:

Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =

A$ 1,333,333.33333

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667

(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:

Forward  Exchange outcome =  in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =

A$4 million

Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome

A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million

Explanation:

a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive  ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the  ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.

b) If A$ 1 = ¥90

Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.
