Answer: The amount the company would recognize is $100 as a gain from foreign currency translation.
Explanation: On October 1, a receivable of $2,860 (2,000 pounds x $1.43) would have been recorded. However, this amount of receivable has to be revalued using the year-end rate of $1.45, based on the principles of <em>IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates</em>. Year-end receivable would then be $2,900 (2,000 pounds x $1.45). A foreign exchange gain of $40 would be recognised by debiting receivable and crediting gain on foreign currency translation (which reports in income statement) with $40 ($2,900 - $2,860). This is necessary to revalue the receivable using the year-end rate. Subsequently, the spot rate moved to $1.50 at the point of collection, this simply means the company has made a $100 exchange gain (2,000 pounds x $1.50 = $3,000 - $2,900). The journal entries to be raised would be Debit Cash $3,000; Credit Receivable $2,900, Credit Exchange gain (income statement) $100.
Answer:
20.43%
Explanation:
Given;
Beta of stock A = 1.7
Beta of the stock B = 0.8
Expected return on stock B = 12%
Risk free rate of stock A = Risk free rate of Stock B = 4.5% (Since same reward-to-risk ratio)
Now,
The expected return of stock B
= Risk free rate + (Beta × Market Risk premium)
on substituting the respective values, we get
12% = 4.5% + (0.8 × Market Risk premium )
or
Market Risk premium = 9.375%
Also,
The expected return of stock A
= 4.5% + (1.7 × 9.375)
or
= 20.43%
