Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.
Holding constant the cost of the basket in each country, compute the real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates in the following table.
Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) Nominal Exchange Rate (Yuan per dollar) Real Exchange Rate (Baskets of Chinese goods per basket of U.S goods)
90 105 7.00
90 105 10.50
Answer:
The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:
For the first row in the table RER is 6.
For the second row in the table RER is 9.
Note: See the attached excel file for the table.
Explanation:
Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.
The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.
RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:
RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Where, from the question;
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
For the first row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
For the second row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9
The real exchange rates that should lead from the two nominal exchange rates should be 6 and 9.
Calculation of the real exchange rate:RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Here,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
So,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Now
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
Now
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
So,
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9

Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.
Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60
and ordering costs are $96.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''
Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]
Total cost = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)
Total cost = 720 + 720 + 21600
Total cost = $ 23040
If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700
Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700
Total cost = $22545.6
If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96) + 19800
Total cost = 3000 + 172.8 + 19800
Total cost = $22972.8
From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000
So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order
the number of orders per year = 18000/5000
the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year
A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested. a. How much money will they have accumulated 30 years from now
Answer:
Total future value= $408,334.38
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested.
First, we will determine the future value of the annual deposit investment. We need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000*[(1.08^30) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $339,849.63
Now, for the $10,000:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 10,000*(1.08^25)
FV= $68,484.75
Total future value= 339,849.63 + 68,484.75
Total future value= $408,334.38

Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time
a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.
Answer:
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Explanation:
There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:
we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facilityIf we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:
only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.
There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone? Yes No
Answer:
1a. $2.67 cost per unit
1b. $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Yes
Explanation:
1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired
The following details were given in the question.
Defective average =3/100= 0.03
inspection rate = 30 per hour
Cost of inspector = 8 per hour
Correction cost = $10 each
Using this formula
Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour
Let plug in the formula
Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour
Hired inspector =0.267×100
Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit
1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired
Using this Formula
No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective
Let plug in the formula
No inspector= 3/100×$10
No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.

A company has reported operating income of $25,000,000. The bond interest expense for the year is $4,000,000 and principal payments on bonds totaled $1,000,000. The company's debt service coverage ratio is:
Answer:
The company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.
Explanation:
The debt service coverage ratio refers to the financial ratio that give a measure of the ability of a company to meet its current debts obligation.
The debt service coverage ratio therefore compares the operating income of the company with the company's total debt service obligations.
The total service obligation includes the current interest, principal repayment, and any other debt obligations.
The formula for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is given as follows:
Debt service coverage ratio = Operating income / Total debt service costs
Form the question, we have:
Operating income = $25,000,000
Total debt service costs = Interest expense + Principal payments on bonds = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $5,000,000
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
Debt service coverage ratio = $25,000,000 / $5,000,000 = 5
Therefore, the company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.
Since this is greater than 1, this iimplies that operating profits made by the company is more than enough to pay its current debt service costs.

A 12-year, 5% coupon bond pays interest annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000.__________ Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. % is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the yield to maturity rises to 6% from the current yield to maturity of 4.5%
Answer:
12.38% decrease
Explanation:
Given the following parameters
6%
Number of years = 12
Market yield I= 6 === 4.5
Present Value = 916.16 == 1045.59
PMT (annuity payment) = 50 (5%x1000)
Future value = 1000
Therefore, to solve for the percentage change, we have in the price of this bond in this situation, we have (916.16-1045.59) / 1045.59 = -0.1238
Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,
The percentage change in the price of this bond will be -12.38%.
The price of the bond at 4.5% is calculated thus:
Yield to maturity = 4.50%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 4.5% = $1045.59The price of the bond at 6.0% is calculated thus:
Yield to maturity = 6.00%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 6.0% = $916.16The percentage change in price will be:
= (916.16 - 1045.59) / 1045.59
= -12.38%

Ultimate Butter Popcorn issues 5%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $58,000. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 5%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price will the bonds issue
Answer:
So, the bonds will issue at par which means that they will issue at their face value of $58000
Explanation:
If the coupon rate paid by the bond and the market interest rates are same, the bonds are always issued at par. We can check this through the following.
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.05 * 1/2 * 58000 = $1450
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 5% * 1/2 = 2.5% or 0.025
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 1450 * [( 1 - (1+0.025)^-30) / 0.025] + 58000 / (1+0.025)^30
Bond Price = $58000
Firm J has net income of $77,605, sales of $935,000, and average total assets of $467,500. Required: Calculate Firm J’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI).
Answer:
Firm J's margin= 8.3%
Firm J's turnover= 2
Firm J's ROI= 16.6%
Explanation:
Form J has a net income of $77,605
The sales is $935,000
The average total assets is $467,500
Firm J's margin can be calculated as follows
Margin= Net income/sales
= $77,605/$935,000
= 0.083×100
= 8.3%
Firm J's turnover can be calculated as follows
Turnover= Sales/Average Total assets
= $935,000/$467,500
= 2
Firm J's return on investment can be calculated as follows
ROI= Net income/Average Total assets
= $77,605/$467,500
= 0.166×100
= 16.6%
Hence Firm J's margin, turnover and return on investment is 8.3%, 2 and 16.6% respectively.
The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent
Answer:
11.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) + (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)
= 3.07% + 8.69%
= 11.76%
Hence, the WACC is 11.76%
We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost

Answer:
Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:
Book Value Fair Value
Current assets $ 28,700 $ 22,300
Property, plant, and equipment 47,800 52,600
Other assets 3,500 5,800
Current liabilities 15,100 14,900
Long-term liabilities 29,000 21,400
The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:
Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.
Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.
For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:
Particular Fair Value ($)
Current assets 22,300
Property, plant, and equipment 52,600
Other assets 5,800
Current liabilities (14,900)
Long-term liabilities (21,400)
Fair value of net asset 44,400
Therefore, we have:
Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset = $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900

Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Assets of $205.498 million Total Common Stock of $6.350 million Cash of $10.050 million Retained Earnings of $44.117 million. What were the Digby Corporation's total liabilities?
a) $165.081 million.
b) $144.981 million.
c) $155.031 million.
d) $161.381 million.
Answer:
The value of total liabilities is $155.031 million and option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The basic accounting equation states that the total value of assets is always equal to the sum of the total value of liabilities and the total value of equity.
Thus, we can say that,
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
The equity part can contain various components. In the given question it has two components namely Common Stock and retained earnings.
205.498 = Total Liabilities + (6.350 + 44.117)
205.498 = Total Liabilities + 50.467
205.498 - 50.467 = Total Liabilities
Total Liabilities = $155.031
In its first year, a project is expected to generate earnings before interest and taxes of $237,884 and its depreciation expense is expected to be $87,882. If the company’s tax rate is 35%, what is the project’s expected net operating profit after taxes for the year?
Answer:
Net operating income= $242,506.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Earnings before interest and taxes= $237,884
Depreciation expense= $87,882.
Tax rate= 35%
To calculate the net operating profit, we need to use the following structure:
EBIT= 237,884
Tax= (237,884*0.35)= (83,259.4)
Depreciation= 87,882
Net operating income= 242,506.6
A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is:_______
Answer:
Out the money.
Explanation:
A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is out the money.
An out the money ultimately implies that an option only has an extrinsic value but no intrinsic value. The extrinsic value of an option refers to the difference between its intrinsic value and the market value (premium). An extrinsic value is affected by the volatility in the market and its time value. The intrinsic value of an asset refers to the calculated, true or real value of an asset and is solely affected by internal factors.
A call is out the money when the strike price is greater than or above the underlying price of an asset. This simply means that, it's market value (price) has fallen below its strike price.
In this scenario, the market price of the call is 77 while its strike price is 80; thus, the call option is out the money by 3.
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD).
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that M1 will be derived as Currency plus the Travelers check while M2 will be M1 plus the certificate of deposit plus the money market account.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
It should be noted that money in a savings account will have to be included in M2.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
This fits into the description of both M1 and M2 forms of money.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD)
The certificate of deposit is included in the M2.
Answer:
Option A is M2
Option B is M1
Option C is M2
Explanation:
The above classifications speak to various categories of money supply.
M1 refers to the supply of money that is composed of physical currency such as notes, coins, demand deposits other checkable deposits, etc.
Simply put, M1 would include forms of money that are liquid or easy to convert into cash.
M2 and M3 which are also known as "near money" and "near, near money," are money types which cannot be converted to currency as quickly as M1.
Another example of M2 is Money Market Mutual Funds. M1 is often included when calculating for M2.

Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Present Approach Proposed Approach Value-added time 23 min 23 min Non-value-added time 1,582 min 105 min Total lead time 1,605 min 1,605 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) 14 % 21 %
Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part
Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes
non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes
Total lead times : 1240 minutes, 160 minutes
value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%
Explanation:
Given data:
production batch sizes = 40 units
process step 1 = 6 minutes
process step 2 = 10 minutes
process step 3 = 6 minutes
process step 4 = 8 minutes
Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches
UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH
Th value added time:
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time:
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step
= 30*39+8*5
= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time
= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes
value added time as a percentage/ratio
(value added time / total lead time) * 100
= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%
UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH
value added time :
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time :
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + time between each step
= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time = 30 +130 = 160 mins
value added time as a percentage/ratio:
(value added time / total lead time ) * 100
= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%
