Solution:
Given ,
1 Year interest rates in Europe = 4 %
1 Year interest rates in the U.S. = 2 %
You are translating $200,000 and spending $200,000 in French
Current spot rate of the euro = $1.20
a. (2%-4%)/(1+4%)=(S - 1.20) / 1.20
S= $1.1769 one year Euro rate
b. ( $1 / 1.20 )( 1 + 4% )* 1.12 = $.9707 return of -2.93% (loss)
c. ( $1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%)* 1.31 = $1.1353 return of 13.53% (gain)
d . ($1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%) *S = $1 (1+2%) ;
S=$1.1769
A spot rate of over $1.17697 (this is the same in part A) would be effective.
Answer:
The rate at which to discount the payments to find sum borrowed is 12.68%
Explanation:
The discount rate to be used in computing the sum borrowed can e derived from the effective annual rate formula below:
Effective annual rate = (1 + Quoted interest rate/m)^m - 1
quoted interest rate is 8.40
m is the number of months in a year when compounding is done which is 12
effective annual rate=(1+8.40%/12)^12-1
effective annual rate=(1+0.01)^12-1
effective annual rate=(1.01)^12-1
effective annual rate=1.12682503
-1
effective annual rate=0.12682503=12.68%
Answer:
c. a debit to Inventory for $10,000
Explanation:
Whenever goods are purchased on a discount to be received on payment basis, the inventory is first recorded at cost.
Also as per the general rule, discount is a kind of income, and incomes are recorded only when earned, therefore, the cost of inventory shall be reduced by 4% only when the payment is made, therefore the inventory on the date of purchase shall be recorded at $10,000 only and not for $9,600.
Thus, correct option is c
