The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What I think about exchange rate volatility is that investors have to learn to manage this volatility because it is part of the stock market on a daily basis. Indeed, it is the nature of the game. Managing foreign exchange or FX, as it is also known, is of the utmost importance in this globalized world of investments. The price of goods and products that are exported such as iron, steel, or any other commodity has been very volatile in recent years, that is why investors and countries have to hire experts to manage their operations. One of the resources that can help investors regarding this issue is to mitigate the uncertainty with futures or currency forwards.
Wanda contracted to sell Mike 100 boxes of ball bearings.The contract did not specify a place of delivery.The ball bearings now reside at Wanda's place of business.Wanda refuses to ship the 100 boxes to Mike,and Mike refuses to come to Wanda's place of business to pick them up.Who is right? Why?
Answer:
Wanda is right since the contract did not specify a place of deliveryExplanation:
Wanda is right, since the contract did not specify the place of delivery or whether Wanda is expected to deliver the bearing to Mikes place.
If it is in Wanda terms of business that normally boxes above 100 when purchased, delivery is free and he defaults, then he is wrong, but in this case it was not specified who will bear the cost of shipping, and it is not in Wanda terms of business that delivery is free, so Wanda is right in my own opinion.
Adams Bautista needs $26,700 in 8 years. Click here to view factor tables
Required:
a. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
b. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
Answer:
a. $10,783.68
b. $10,510.36 semi annual compounding
Explanation:
a. This question requires the present value of $26,700 given 8 years and compounded annually at 12%.
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.12^{8} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,783.68
He would need to invest $10,783.68 today.
b. This is a duplicate of question 1 but I will solve it assuming semi-annual compounding just in case.
12% per annum would become = 12/2 = 6% per semi annum
Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.06^{16} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,510.36
He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.
Consider a team that you are familiar with - either by being a member of the team, a team leader, or a bystander. What were the team's goals?
Answer:
• To ensure that there is no income leakage whatsoever
• Ensure that there is no customer complaint made to the company's executives
• Early closure not later than 5pm daily, Monday to Friday
• Ensure customer survey ratings of at least 8.0
• Drive paperless environment.
• Daily reconciliation of the bank's transit accounts.
Explanation:
I used to belong to a team called settlement and reconciliation , which is under operations support, business banking in one of the top financial institution.
The goals are as listed above. For instance as a settlement and reconciliation team, you must ensure accurate settlement of all merchants such that none would receive excess settlement s which could deplete the bank's income. Also, there must be no customer complaint escalated to the bank's executives hence team must promptly resolve all queries and complaint.
Another goal is to drive early closure. No member of staff must remain in the office after 5pm unless permission is obtained to deal urgent transaction. Each year, the bank conducts internal survey among departments to know how well we treat our internal and external stakeholders. The least score approved for my team is 8.0 out of 10 , which must be met.
Again, one of the goals of the bank is paperless drive which was included in each team or unit's goals. We support the drive for paperless transactions by suggesting means to consummate transactions without printing. We must also ensure daily and timely reconciliation of all our transit accounts in order to ensure that no idle fund is sitting in there.
International trade promotes economic growth when it allows any two countries to grow (in their combined production) beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve (PPC).
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is meant to illustrate how a country produces goods and services given the limited resources it has. The curve represents the various amounts that have to be traded off of 2 goods to produce more or less of one good.
The Curve shows that it is best that a country produces those goods that is good at producing so that it can produce more of it and then trade with the rest of the world for the goods it isn't too efficient at producing. If both countries involved in the trade are able to grow beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve then the trade would have promoted economic growth.

Determine the carrying value of inventory at December 31, 2021, assuming the LCM rule is applied to the entire inventory. 3. Assuming inventory write-downs are common for Forester, record any necessary year-end adjusting entry based on the amount calculated in requirement 2.
Answer:
A)
A 1,000 x $26.00 = $ 26,000
B 500 x $30.60 = $ 15,300
C 900 x $ 19.00 = $ 17,100
D 900 x $ 19.80 = $ 17,820
E 800 x $26.10 = $ 20,880
Total $ 97,100
B)
102,240
C)
Write-down at NRV 1,060 debit
Inventory 1,060 credit
Explanation:
We have to calculate the net realizable value(NRV) for each item and compare with the historic cost:
Units// Cost /// NRV
A 1,000 $ 26 $ 32(1 - 0.1) = 28.8
B 500 $ 31 $ 34(1-0.1) = 30.60
C 900 $ 19 $ 24(1-0.1) = 21.60
D 900 $ 23 $ 22(1-0.1) = 19.80
E 800 $ 30 $ 29(1-0.1) = 26.10
We will always pick the lowest to valuate the goods:
A 1,000 x $26.00 = $ 26,000
B 500 x $30.60 = $ 15,300
C 900 x $ 19.00 = $ 17,100
D 900 x $ 19.80 = $ 17,820
E 800 x $26.10 = $ 20,880
Total $ 97,100
Total Cost:
1,000 x 26
+ 500 x 31
+ 900 x 19
+ 900 x 23
+ 800 x 30
103,300
Total NRV
1,000 x 28.80
+ 500 x 30.60
+ 900 x 21.60
+ 900 x 19.80
+ 800 x 26.10
102,240
Comparing at the entire inventory level we get the following adjustment
103,300 - 102,240 = 1,060
Suppose you deposit $ cash into your checking account. By how much will the total money supply increase as a result when the required reserve ratio is 0.0?
Answer:
If the required reserve ratio is 0, that means that the money multiplier will be infinite. I guess the question is incomplete.
I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
If you deposit $2,400 and the required reserve ratio is 0.4, then by how much does the money supply increase?
first we must determine the money multiplier = 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5
to determine the total effect on the money supply we just multiply the deposit by the multiplier = $2,400 x 2.5 = $6,000 increase.
railway cabooses justpaid its annual sividend of $1.70 per share. The company has been reducing the dividends by 11.3 percent each year. how much are you willing to pay today to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 12 percent?
Answer:
$6.47
Explanation:
The computation of the current price of the stock is shown below:
= {Current Dividend x [1 + (Dividend Growth)} ÷ [Required rate of Return - (Dividend growth)]
= {$1.70 × [1 + (- 0.113)]} ÷ [0.12 - (- 0.113)]
= $1.5079 ÷ 0.233
= $6.47
hence, the current price of the stock valued today is $6.47 i.e come by applying the above formula
Jervis sells $3,900 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 3% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction
Answer:
Dr cash $3783
Dr factoring fee expense $177
Cr accounts receivable $3900
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the factoring arrangement would be 97% of the value of the receivables since 3% is the factoring fees expenses to be incurred.
Cash proceeds=$3900*97%=$ 3,783.00
Factoring fees expense=$3,900.00-$3,783.00=$117
Cash account and factoring fees expense would be debited with $3783 and $117 respectively, while accounts receivable is credited with $3900
The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders involves determining whether the proposed diversification move Group of answer choices provides the company with additional resource strengths. provides additional ways to build the entrepreneurial skills of the company's senior managers. spreads stockholders' risks across a greater number of lines of business. has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart. has good potential for increasing the company's rate of return on invested capital.
Answer: Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.
Explanation:
The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.
Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.

A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of 3.0 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 14 seconds, exponentially distributed. a. How many customers would you expect to see, on average, at the coffee urn? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: 3 customers.
Explanation:
Given the following :
Arrival rate of customers = 3 customers per minute
Service time = 14 seconds
Then if service time is 14 seconds, the service rate per minute will be 60/14 = 4.29 = 4 (nearest whole number)
Service rate = 4 customers per minute.
Number of customers at coffee urn(Nc) :
Nc = (arrival rate) /(service rate - arrival rate)
Nc = (3) / (4 - 3)
Nc = 3 / 1
Nc = 3
Therefore, average number of customers expected at coffee urn = 3

On July 1, 2021, a company loans one of its employees $20,000 and accepts a ten-month, 9% note receivable. Calculate the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021 and 2022
Answer:
Interest in 2021=900
Interest in 2022=600
Explanation:
Calculatation of the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021 2022
Month in 2021 - July To December
Interest in 2021 = 20,000*9%*6/12
Interest in 2021=900
Month in 2022 - January To April
Interest in 2022 = 20,000*9%*4/12
Interest in 2022=600
Therefore the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021 will be 900 while 2022 will be 600
Answer:
2021:900
2022:600
Explanation:
Month in 2021 - July To December
Interest in 2021 = 20,000x0.0%x(6/12)
Interest in 2021=900
Month in 2022 - January To April
Interest in 2022 = 20,000x0.09x(4/12)
Interest in 2022=600
Therefore the answer for 2021 will be 900 and for 2022 will be 600
Furniture costing $61,700 is sold at its book value in 2017. Acquisitions of furniture total $50,000 cash, on which no depreciation is necessary because it is acquired at year-end. What is the cash inflow related to the sale of furniture
Answer:
cash inflow = $32,100
Explanation:
there is some information missing:
accumulated depreciation 2016 (furniture) = $9,000depreciation expense 2017 (furniture) = $37,600accumulated depreciation 2017 (furniture) = $17,000we must first determine the book value of the furniture which was sold:
total depreciation related to the sold furniture = $9,000 + $37,600 - $17,000 = $29,600
book value = $61,700 - $29,600 = $32,100
since the furniture was sold at book value, then the cash inflow = $32,100
Cash inflow refers to money being received or earned by the company, while cash outflows refer to money being paid by the company.
Suppose that purely competitive firms producing cashews discover that P exceeds MC.
a. Is their combined output of cashews too little, too much, or just right to achieve allocative efficiency?
b. In the long run, what will happen to the supply of cashews and the price of cashews?
1. Supply will increase and the price of cashews will increase.
2. Supply will increase and the price of cashews will decrease.
3. Supply will decrease and the price of cashews will decrease.
4. Supply will decrease and the price of cashews will increase.
Answer:
a. Too Little
b. 2. Supply will increase and the price of cashews will decrease.
Explanation:
a. Output is always maximised when Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point it is argued that all resources are being utilised. In a purely competitive market, the Price is equal to the Marginal Revenue. If the price is larger than the Marginal Cost that means that Marginal Revenue is larger than Marginal Cost. The firms are therefore not utilising enough resources to produce as much as they can which should change.
b. In the long run in a purely competitive market, more firms will enter the market as they will see it as a chance to make economic profits. As this happens the Supply will increase due to the larger number of firms and the price will decrease as a result as well.

Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstandingSuppose the most recent dividend was "$3.25" and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
WACC = 15.08%
Explanation:
Some information is missing:
"The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years."
In order to calculate WACC we must first determine the YTM and market values of the 2 bonds.
bond 1:
market value = $70,000,000 x 0.97 = $67,900,000
YTM = {4,200,000 + [(70,000,000 - 67,900,000)/21]} / [(70,000,000 + 67,900,000)/2] = 4,300,000 / 68,950,000 = 6.24%
bond 2:
market value = $40,000,000 x 1.08 = $43,200,000
YTM = {2,600,000 + [(40,000,000 - 43,200,000)/6]} / [(40,000,000 + 43,200,000)/2] = 2,066,667 / 41,600,000 = 4.97%
weighted average cost of debt:
total value of debt = $67,900,000 + $43,200,000 = $111,100,000
weighted average cost = [($67,900,000/$111,100,000) x 6.24%] + [($43,200,000/$111,100,000) x 4.97%] = 3.814% + 1.933% = 5.75%
cost of equity (Re):
$68 = ($8 x 1.05) / (Re - 5%)
Re - 5% = $8.40 / $68 = 12.35%
Re = 17.35%
outstanding stock's market value = 7,000,000 x $68 = $476,000,000
WACC = [($476,000,000/$587,100,000) x 17.35%] + [($111,100,000/$587,100,000) x 5.75% x 0.79] = 14.07% + 1.01% = 15.08%

Take down his/her suggestions. The first thing is to show respect. Accept thoughts and contributions towards that project. Most times a project "sponsor" is not someone who is a professional in the field or discipline that the project is about.
If your direct supervisor has the idea of increasing the scope of the project, take note of his/her reasons and if they will truly bring the achievement of more departmental goals, then relay the idea of expansion to the project sponsor.
Answer:
At this point, the important thing is to remain calm and in control. Your supervisor, like everyone else, is likely to get confused and blame people for things that are not their fault, or even find fault that does not exist.
In that case, you should wait for him to finish speaking, ask for permission to speak and explain how you did your job and show how your supervisor is wrong about the conclusion he made. This must be done calmly and politely, always maintaining respect.

The standard costs for a batch of chocolate (2,857 bars) are as follows: Ingredient Quantity Price Cocoa 630 lbs. $0.40 per lb. Sugar 180 lbs. $0.60 per lb. Milk 150 gal. $1.60 per gal. Determine the standard direct materials cost per bar of chocolate. If required, round to the nearest cent. $ per bar
Answer:
Standard direct material cost per unit= $0.21
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard costs for a batch of chocolate (2,857 bars) are as follows:
Cocoa 630 lbs. $0.40 per lb.
Sugar 180 lbs. $0.60 per lb.
Milk 150 gal. $1.60 per gal
First, we need to calculate the total cost for 2,857 bars:
Total cost= 630*0.4 + 180*0.6 + 150*1.6
Total cost= $600
Now, the unitary standard cost:
Standard direct material cost per unit= 600/2,857
Standard direct material cost per unit= $0.21
The Book of Mormon is one of the biggest musical hits on Broadway. It has received many awards including Tony and Grammy Awards. According to Wikipedia, "High attendance coupled with aggressive pricing allowed the financial backers to recoup their investment of $11.4 million after just nine months of performances." While the highest ticket price was $477, the average price is $170. What is the variable cost per ticket
Answer:
variable cost per ticket = $129.60
Explanation:
some information is missing and I looked it up:
30 performances per month
1,100 seats in the theater and 95% occupancy rate
number of tickets sold during the first 9 months = 30 x 9 x 1,100 x 0.95 = 282,150 tickets
total revenue during the first 9 months = 282,150 x $170 = $47,965,500
variable costs = total revenue - fixed costs = $47,965,500 - $11,400,000 = $36,565,500
variable cost per ticket = $36,565,500 / 282,150 tickets = $129.5959 ≈ $129.60

Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 10% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. How much will the company pay in separation costs if each worker receives $5,000 when separated?
Answer:
$293,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay in separation cost is shown below:
As there are 587 employees
but 10% are downsized
So, separation cost is
= Current employees × downsized percentage × received amount by workers
= 587 employees × 10% × $5,000
= $293,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount pay by the company with respect to the separation cost could arrive
Health and Wealth Company is financed entirely by common stock that is priced to offer a 12 percent expected return. If the company repurchases 20 percent of the common stock and substitutes an equal value of debt yielding 8 percent, what is the expected return on the common stock after refinancing
Answer: 13%
Explanation:
By substituting 20% of debt for debt yielding 8%, the company now has 20% financing from debt and 80% from equity.
The expected return on common stock after refinancing can be calculated by;
Return after refinancing = Return before refinancing + [tex]\frac{Debt}{Equity}[/tex](return before refinancing - Debt yield)
= 12% + [tex]\frac{0.2}{0.8} (0.12 - 0.08)[/tex]
= 13%
