Answer:
The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£
Explanation:
The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00
the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00
To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) = S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).
Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)
S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)
= (2 / 1.5)
= €1.33.
Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.
Answer:
External forces
Explanation:
Best buy is an electronics retailer that aspires to improve customer's lives through technology. They have over 175+ store locations.
However they have been facing challenges in the market with other playera like Circuit City, CompUSA and RadioShack not surviving.
The challenges faced by Best Buy is mostly as a result of external forces in the form of competition with Walmart and Amazon. Resulting in the loss of their share value.
Walmart and Amazon have been able to capture a large part of the electronics market.
Other problems like leadership scandals and inefficient processes also contributed to their problems.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:
Given that
Selling price = SP = $4.50
Cost price = CP = $3.00
So,
Salvage value = V = $1.50
Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts
The standard deviation of daily demand = 4 quarts
based on the above information
Overage cost = (Co) is
= CP - V
= $3.00 - $1.50
= $1.50
Now
Underage cost= (Cu)
= SP - CP
= $4.50 - $3.00
= $1.50
So,
Service level is
= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)
= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)
= 1.50 ÷ 3.00
= 0.50
= 50%
Now
At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0
So,
Optimal stocking level is
= d + Z × standard deviation
= 35 + (0 × 4)
= 35 + 0
= 35 quarts
Answer:
perfect competition; equal to $15
Explanation:
A Perfect competition industry is characterised by :
1. Firms that are price takers - They do not set price but prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
2. Prices are equal to marginal revenue and average revenue.
3. plenty buyers and sellers.
4 free entry and exist of firms.
A monopolistic industry is chartcerised by :
1. Firms that are price makers.
2. Plenty buyers and sellers.
3. Price and average revenue are less than the marginal revenue
