Answer:

c. Appreciate; Appreciate

Explanation:

Triangular arbitrage is the act of taking an opportunity resulting from a pricing discrepancy among three different currencies when the currency's exchange rates do not exactly match up

This cases are very rare and for a quite short period of time so there are very few traders who takes the advantange of them.

Lets study th given cases here:

A) NZ dollar Versus Mexican Peso

The exchage rate is 1NZ$= 2 Mexican Pesos (MXP)

But if we apply the triangular arbitrage:

1 NZ dollar = 0.3333 US$

and we know tha 1 US$= 7 Mexican Pesos (MXP

Then 1 NZ dollar = 0.3333* 7 MXP= 2.333 MXP

So the NZ dollar appreciates

B) MXP Versus U$S

The exchage rate is 1 MXP= (1/7) U$S

But if we apply the triangular arbitrage:

1 MXP = 0.5 NZ

and we know tha 1 NZ= 0.333 US$

Then 1 MXP = 0.5* 0.333 U$S= 0.166 U$S

So the MXP appreciates

B. As we can see that there is a loss of -$513,044 so the special order should be rejected

C. The minimum price is

After deciding to acquire a new car, you realize you can either lease the car or purchase it with a three-year loan. The car you

muminat

Answer:

a. $15,369.28

b. $16,332.28

c. $19,347.60

Explanation:

a. What is the present value of purchasing the car?

PV of resale = SP ÷ (1 + r)^n ................................................. (1)

Where SP = Resales proceed = $20,500

r = discount rate = 6% annually = 0.06 annually = (0.06 ÷ 12) monthly = 0.005 monthly

n = number of periods = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

PV of resale = $20,500 ÷ (1 + 0.005)^36 = $17,130.7208354753

Net PV = Purchase price - PV of resale

= $32,500 - $17,130.7208354753

Net PV = $15,369.28

Therefore, the present value of purchasing the car $15,369.28.

b. What is the present value of leasing the car?

PV of future period payment can be calculated using the following formula:

PV of monthly payment = M × 1 - (1 + r)^-n ÷ r .......................................... (2)

Where,

M = monthly payment = $494

r = discount rate = 6% annually = 0.06 annually = (0.06 ÷ 12) monthly = 0.005 monthly

n = number of periods = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months

Substituting into equation (2), we have:

PV of monthly payment = $494 × {[1 - (1 + 0.005)^-36] ÷ 0.005}

PV of monthly payment = $16,238.2820221969

PV of leasing the car = Today's payment + PV of monthly payment

= $94 + $16,238.2820221969

PV of leasing the car = $16,332.28

Therefore, PV of leasing the car is $16,332.28.

c. What break-even resale price in three years would make you indifferent between buying and leasing?

This will be calculated by equating the PV of leasing the car to the difference between the purchase price and the PV of resale as follows:

PV of leasing car = Purchase price - PV of resale

$16,332.28 = $32,500 - PV of resale

Solving for PV of resale, we have:

PV of resale = $16,167.72.

The future value (FV) of resale price in 3 years can be calculated as follows:

FV of resale = PV of resale × (1 + r)^n

FV of resale = $16,167.72 × (1 + 0.005)^36 = $19,347.60

Therefore, the break even resale price in 3 years is $19,347.60.

We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Best-Case Worst-Case

NPV NPV

PV of cash inflows $2,897,706 $3,187,477

PV of project cost $1,680,000 $1,848,000 ($1,680,000 * 1.1)

NPV $1,217,706 $1,339,477

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial project cost = $1.68 million

Project's estimated life = 6 years

Salvage value = $0

Depreciation expense = $280,000 ($1.68 million/6)

Income Statement:

Sales revenue (90,000 * $37.95) = $3,415,500

Cost of goods sold:

Variable cost (90,000 * $23.20) = 2,088,000

Gross profit = $1,327,500

Fixed costs = 815,000

Income before tax = $512,500

Income tax (21% of $512,500) = 107,625

Net income = $404,875

Add depreciation expense 280,000

Annual cash inflows = $684,875

PV annuity factor for 6 years at 11% = 4.231

PV of annual cash inflows of $684,875= $2,897,706 ($684,875 * 4.231)

Annual cash inflows = $753,363 ($684,875 * 1.1)

PV of annual cash inflows of $753,363 = $3,187,477 ($753,363 * 4.231)
