According to the interest parity condition, if the domestic interest rate is 12 percent and the foreign interest rate is 10 percent, then the expected _________ of the foreign currency must be _________ percent. Group of answer choices
Answer: Appreciation; 2%
Explanation:
From the information given in the question,
Domestic Interest rate = 12%
Foreign interest rate = 10%
Let's assume,
S = spot exchange rate
F = forward exchange rate,
Based on the per interest rate parity, the forward exchange rate will be:
F = S × (1 + 10%) / (1 + 12%) = 0.98x
F = S × (1+0.1)/(1+0.12) = 0.98x
Therefore, the forward exchange rate will be expected to fall by:
= 1 - 0.98
= 0.2
= 2%

Answer:
the rate of return on total assets is 63.09%
Explanation:
The calculation of the rate of return on total assets is shown below:
Return on total Asset is
= {(Net Income + Interest Expense) ÷ Average Total assets} × 100
= {($181,000 + $25,000) ÷ ($396,000 + $257,000) ÷ 2} × 100
= $206,000 ÷ $326,500 × 100
= 63.09%
Hence, the rate of return on total assets is 63.09%

When the price elasticity of demand for a good is very elastic, quantity demanded is _____ to a change in price and the demand curve is relatively _____. Group of answer choices
Answer:
1. Responsive
2. Elastic
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand for a good is very elastic, quantity demanded is RESPONSIVE to a change in price and the demand curve is relatively ELASTIC.
This is because the price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to a change in price.
Consequently, as the quantity demanded changes, the demand curve then becomes relatively elastic, by shifting either to the right or left.
Your firm is considering a project with a discount rate of 9%. If you start the projecttoday, your firm will incur an initial cost of $490 and will receive cash inflows of$365 per year for 3 years. If you instead wait one year to start the project, the initial cost will rise to $530 and the cash flows will increase to $405 a year for the following 3 years. Would your firm be better off starting the project now or waiting to start the project in a year? Explain clearly including an estimate of the value of the option to wait.
Answer:
If the company start the project today then NPV of the project,
Year Cash Flow PV of Cash flow

Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 1.7% in this and in all future rounds. (Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM.xls Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,189,230. Assuming similar sales next year, the 1.7% increase in demand will provide $2,774,217 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.1%, after direct costs this revenue will add $946,008 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month
Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $48,400. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 394,000 units of product, with a $9,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 33,400 units of product.
Required:
Determine the machineâs second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method.
Answer:the machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method is $3,990 and$40,420 respectively.
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation is calculated as
Depreciation= Initial value – salvage value / useful life
Depreciation=($48,400- $9,000)/10=$3,990
The depreciation expense each year would be $3990
Book value = Cost of asset- accumulated deprecation
Book value = Cost of asset - (2 years x depreciation)
= $48,400- (2 x $3,990)
= $40,420
Therefore, the machine’s second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method is $3,990 and$40,420 respectively.

Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 71%, current sales are $551,000, and fixed costs are $207,000. How much will operating income change if sales increase by $37,600? a.$10,904 increase b.$26,696 decrease c.$26,696 increase d.$10,904 decrease
Answer: a.$10,904 increase
Explanation:
Operating income before sales increase:
= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
= 551,000 - (71% * 551,000) - 207,000
= -$47,210
Operating income after sales increase:
Sales increases to:
= 551,000 + 37,600
= $588,600
= 588,600 - (71% * 588,600) - 207,000
= -$36,306
Difference:
= -47,210 - (-36,306)
= Increase of $10,904
MC Qu. 149 Trago Company manufactures... Trago Company manufactures a single product and has a JIT policy that ending inventory must equal 30% of the next month's sales. It estimates that May's ending inventory will consist of 85,500 units. June and July sales are estimated to be 285,000 and 295,000 units, respectively. Trago assigns variable overhead at a rate of $2.30 per unit of production. Fixed overhead equals $405,000 per month. Compute the number of units to be produced and use this amount to compute the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for the month of June.
Answer:
$1067400
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units and factory overhead is given below:
units to be produced in june is
= ending inventory + sales - beginning inventory

= 288000 Units
Now
Overheads budgeted for june
= variable overheads + fixed overheads
= (288000 × 2.3) + 405000
= 662400+405000
= $1067400
