A U.S. investor has borrowed pounds, converted them to dollars, and invested the dollars in the United States to take advantage of interest rate differentials. To cover the currency risk, the investor should:
Answer: C. Buy pounds forward.
Explanation:
The investor borrowed in pounds which means that they would have to pay back in pounds. They would therefore need pounds at the end of the investment period but need to be sure of the rate they are converting back to so as to reduce currency risk.
The way to cater for this risk would be to buy pounds in the forward market at a guaranteed rate so that when they are to pay back the pounds, they buy it at the rate they agreed to in the forward market, regardless of what the rate is in the spot market when they want to pay back the pounds.

Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $96,000 to produce 2,425 units that can be sold now for $81,500 to another manufacturer. Alternatively, Holmes can process the units further at an incremental cost of $255 per unit. If Holmes processes further, the units can be sold for $415 each. Should Holmes sell the product now or process it further
Answer: Holmes should process it further to make a profit of $306,496
Explanation:
If Holmes sells now, the selling price would be:
= Amount sold for / No. of units
= 81,500 / 2,425
= $33.61
If the company processes further and sells at $415, they will get a profit per unit of:
= 415 - 255
= $160 per unit
Incremental revenue is:
= (160 - 33.61) * 2,425 units
= $306,495.75
Holmes should process it further.
A project to build a new bridge seems to be going very well since the project is well ahead of schedule and costs seem to be running very low. A major milestone has been reached where the first two activities have been totally completed and the third activity is 70% complete. The planners were expecting to be only57% through the third activity at this time. The first activity involves prepping the site for the bridge. It was expected that this would cost $1,427,000 and it was done for only $1,307,000. The second activity was the pouring of concrete for the bridge. This was expected to cost $10,507,000 but was actually done for $9,007,000. The third and final activity is the actual construction of the bridge superstructure. This was expected to cost a total of $8,507,000. To date, they have spent $5,007,000 on the superstructure. Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index for the project to dat
Answer:
Schedule variance = $1,105,910
Schedule performance index = 1.066
Cost performance index = 1.168
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of the question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore provided before answering the question.
Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index for the project to date. (Round your "performance index" values to 3 decimal places.)
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Budgeted cost of work schedule = Expected cost of first activity + Expected cost of second activity + (Expected cost third activity * Expected percentage of completion) = $1,427,000 + $10,507,000 + ($8,507,000 * 57%) = $16,782,990
Budgeted cost of work performed = Expected cost of first activity + Expected cost of second activity + (Expected cost third activity * Actual percentage completed) = $1,427,000 + $10,507,000 + ($8,507,000 * 70%) = $17,888,900
Actual cost to date = Actual cost of first activity + Actual cost of second activity + Actual amount spent on third activity to date = $1,307,000 + $9,007,000 + $5,007,000 = $15,321,000
Therefore, we have:
Schedule variance = Budgeted cost of work performed - Budgeted cost of work schedule = $17,888,900 - $16,782,990 = $1,105,910
Schedule performance index = Budgeted cost of work performed / Budgeted cost of work schedule = $17,888,900 / $16,782,990 = 1.066
Cost performance index = Budgeted cost of work performed / Actual cost to date = 1.168
Dorsey Co. has expanded its operations by purchasing a parcel of land with a building on it from Bibb Co. for $89,000. The appraised value of the land is $26,000, and the appraised value of the building is $92,000.
Required:
a. Assuming that the building is to be used in Dorsey Co.’s business activities, what cost should be recorded for the land?
b. Indicate why, for income tax purposes, management of Dorsey Co. would want as little of the purchase price as possible allocated to land. (Select all that apply.) Land is a current asset. Land is not a depreciable asset. Land value will not reduce taxable income. Land is a depreciable asset. Land value reduces taxable income.
c. Indicate why Dorsey Co. allocated the cost of assets acquired based on appraised values at the purchase date rather than on the original cost of the land and building to Bibb Co. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the historical asset value. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the book value. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the asset's current value.
d. Assuming that the building is demolished at a cost of $11,000 so the land can be used for employee parking, what cost should Dorsey Co. record for the land?
Answer:
a. Cost of land = $19,610.17
b. Correct options are:
Land is not a depreciable asset.
Land value will not reduce taxable income.
c. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the asset's current value.
d. Cost of Land = $100,000
Explanation:
a. Assuming that the building is to be used in Dorsey Co.’s business activities, what cost should be recorded for the land?
Total appraised value = Appraised value of the land + Appraised value of the building = $26,000 + $92,000 = $118,000
Cost of land = Purchase price * (Appraised value of the land / Total appraised value) = $89,000 * ($26,000 / $118,000) = $19,610.17
b. Indicate why, for income tax purposes, management of Dorsey Co. would want as little of the purchase price as possible allocated to land. (Select all that apply.)
Correct options are:
Land is not a depreciable asset. Note that an asset that is NOT eligible for tax and accounting purposes to register depreciation in compliance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules is considered NOT to be depreciable property. Since land s NOT eligible for tax and accounting purposes to register depreciation, it therefore not a depreciable asset.
Land value will not reduce taxable income. This due to the fact that land is not a depreciable asset as stated above.
c. Indicate why Dorsey Co. allocated the cost of assets acquired based on appraised values at the purchase date rather than on the original cost of the land and building to Bibb Co.
Appraised values are to be used because they represent the asset's current value.
The current value of an asset is the price at which it can be sold or settled as of the current date.
d. Assuming that the building is demolished at a cost of $11,000 so the land can be used for employee parking, what cost should Dorsey Co. record for the land?
Since it is assumed that the building is demolished, the addition of the purchase price and the cost of demolition will be recorded as the cost of land. This is because the demolition cost is the expense of preparing the land for its intended use. Therefore, we have:
Cost of Land = Purchase price + Cost of demolition = $89,000 + $11,000 = $100,000

roject A costs $6,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $2,150 for five years. What is the payback period for this investment under the assumption that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year
Answer:
It will take 2.79 years to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Project A costs $6,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $2,150 for five years.
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 2,150 - 6,000= -3,850
Year 2= 2,150 - 3,850= -1,700
Year 3= 2,150 - 1,700= 450
To be more accurate:
(1700/2150)= 0.79
It will take 2.79 years to cover the initial investment.
Saving is a leakage in the sense that:______.
a. saving is lost to the economy and ultimately leads to stagnation.
b. it often accompanies a trade deficit.
c. consumers spend less than their total income.
d. the financial system often makes negative profits.
Answer:
The correct option is c. consumers spend less than their total income.
Explanation:
Saving is simply a portion of the total income that is not spent by the consumers on goods and services.
Saving is a non-consumption use of income which is leaked out of the circular flow of income and expenditure. Saving therefore makes the consumption lower than the total income.
Based on the explanation above, the correct option is c. consumers spend less than their total income.
Carnelian Company sells bicycles at $200 each. Variable cost per unit is $160, and total fixed cost is $120,600. Calculate the sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500. a. $238,833.
b. $716,500.
c. $243,800.
d. $626,000.
Answer:
Carnelian Company
The sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500 is:
= $710,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per bicycle = $200
Variable cost per unit = $160
Contribution margin per unit = $40 ($200 - $160)
Contribution margin percentage = $40/$200 * 100 = 20%
Fixed cost = $120,600
Target operating income = $21,500
Sales in dollars to earn target operating income = (Fixed cost + Target Income)/Contribution margin ratio
= $120,600 + $21,500/20%
= $142,100/0.2
= $710,500

If you place a stop-loss order to sell 100 shares of stock at BDT 55 when the current price is BDT 62, how much will you receive for each share if the price drops to BDT 50?
Answer:
55 per share
Explanation:
A stop-loss is used to immediately sell a stock when it goes down to a certain point. In this example, 50 is beneath 55 so as BDT heads towards 50 it will reach 55. At 55, the selling begins and thus the investor gets 55 per share.
DMC Company manufactures a standard and a custom version of a boat engine. Overhead costs include a significant amount of indirect labor and other costs related to moving materials and setting up machines for each batch of engines that are produced. The rest of the overhead is mostly facility-based. The actual activity for a year was as follows:
Total Standard engines Custom engines
Engines produced 3,000 2,500 500
Machine hours 6,000 4,800 1,200
Batches of products 200 100 100
DMC has used machine hours in the past to allocate all overhead costs. Which of the following statements is true given the data above, if DMC used machine hours as the allocation base for the current year?
a. DMC under allocated overhead costs to the standard engines.
b. DMC paid more for overhead costs than if it used activity-based costing.
c. DMC over allocated the overhead costs to the standard engines.
Answer:
Hence the correct option is option c. DMC over-allocated the overhead costs to the standard engines.
Explanation:
DMC over-allocated the overhead costs to the quality engines
All overheads have now been allocated within the ratio of machine-hours used i.e. 4:1
If however, ABC system were used, overheads associated with found out would are allocated within the ratio of batches i.e. 1:1
And hence, more overheads would are allocated to custom engines and fewer to plain engines.
The amount purchased overheads will remain equivalent. The systems are only used for the allocation of overheads.

Assume banks are required to hold reserves equal to 20 percent of deposits. Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. a. How much excess reserves does the bank hold
Answer: $100
Explanation:
If the reserve requirement is 20% then the required reserves being held by the company is:
= Total deposits * reserve requirement
= 8,000 * 20%
= $1,600
The reserves held by the company of $1,700 comprise of both the required reserves and the excess reserves. The excess reserves will therefore be calculated as:
Excess reserves = Reserves - Required reserves
= 1,700 - 1,600
= $100

In the short run, fixed costs: Group of answer choices are an important feature in a firm's decision to produce or not produce. have no impact on a firm's profit level. remain constant. do not exist.
Answer:
remain constant.
Explanation:
The short run is a period where all factors of production are fixed. In the short run, a firm would continue to produce if price is above average variable cost. If this is not the case, it would shut down
The long run is a period where all factors of production are varied. It is known as the planning time for a company
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Suppose Torche Corporation has the following results related to cash flows for 2020: Net Income of $10,000,000 Increase in Accounts Payable of $800,000 Increase in Accounts Receivable of $600,000 Decrease in Inventory of $100,000 Assuming no other cash flow adjustments than those listed above, create a statement of cash flows with amounts in thousands. What is the Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities?
Answer:
9,700,000
Explanation:
Essentially... a lot. I would recommend learning about debits and credits. Short explanation is credits are negative and debits are positive. So an increase to a debit is adding to the net value, just as a decrease to a credit adds net value.
We start with 10,000,000.
We subtract 800,000 from this as we are increasing AP, a credit.
We are now at 9,200,000
We then add 600,000 from AR, a debit that is increasing.
We are at 9,800,000.
Finally, we subtract 100,000 because we are decreasing Inventory, a debit.
Our final value is 9,700,000
INTC just paid an annual dividend of $3.40 a share and is expected to increase that amount by 2.2 percent per year. If you are planning to buy 1,000 shares of INTC in two years, how much should you expect to pay per share if the market rate of return for this type of security is 14.8 percent at the time of your purchase
Answer:
the price of the share is $28.18 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the price of the share is given below
Dividend at year 1
= 3.4% ×(1 + 2.2%)
= 3.4748
Dividend at year 2
= 3.4748 × (1 + 2.2%)
= $3.55
Now the price of the share is
= ($3.55) ÷ (14.8% - 2.2%)
= $28.18 per share
Hence, the price of the share is $28.18 per share
The price elasticity of gasoline supply in the United States is 0.4. If the price of gasoline rises by 8%, what is the expected change in the quantity of gasoline supplied in the United States?
A. 3.2%
B. + 0.32%
C. + 32.0%
D. + 3.2%
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
0.4 == quantity / 8
3.2%
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Gabbe Industries is a division of a major corporation. Last year the division had total sales of $23,615,600, net operating income of $3,164,490, and average operating assets of $5,492,000. The company's minimum required rate of return is 19%.

a. Division's margin
= 13.40%
b. Division's turnover
= 4.3x
c. Division's return on investment (ROI)
= 57.62%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales = $23,615,600
Net operating income = $3,164,490
Average operating assets = $5,492,000
Minimum required rate of return = 9%

= 13.40%
b. Division's turnover = Sales/Average operating assets
= $23,615,600/$5,492,000
= 4.3x
c. Division's return on investment (ROI) = Net operating income/Average operating assets
= $3,164,490/$5,492,000 * 100
= 57.62%

You are considering two mutually exclusive projects. Project A costs $3.6 million, has a required return of 14.5 percent, and an IRR of 14.3 percent. Project B costs $4.1 million, has a required return of 16 percent, and an IRR of 15.6 percent. Which project(s) should be accepted
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is a capital budgeting method that is used to determine the profitability of a project.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
The decision rule when using the internal rate of return is to undertake the project if the internal rate of return is greater than the required return of the project. If this is not met, the project should be rejected.
If choosing between multiple projects, the decision rule is to choose the projects with the highest internal rate of return. This is because that project would be the most profitable.
Neither of the project should be selected because the IRR of both projects is less than their required returns

The company's variable overhead costs are driven by machine-hours. What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for next month if the activity level is 2,400 machine-hours rather than 2,500 machine-hours? Assume that the activity levels of 2,500 machine-hours and 2,400 machine-hours are within the same relevant range. Group of answer choices
Answer:
$60,380
Explanation:
Missing word "Kerekes Manufacturing Corporation has prepared the following overhead budget for next month. Activity Level - 2500 Machine Hours - Variable Overhead Cost: Supplies 12,250 Indirect Labor ---22,000 Fixed Overhead: Supervisor 15,500 Utilities -- 5500 Depreciation --- 6500 Total Cost --- 61,750"
So, at activity level of 2500
Total variable overhead cost = Supplies + Indirect labor
Total variable overhead cost = $12,250 + $22,000
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250
So, at activity level of 2400
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250 * 2,400/2,500
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250 * 0.96
Total variable overhead cost = $32,880
So, at 2,400 hours
Total overhead cost = Variable overhead cost + Fixed overhead cost
Total overhead cost = $32,880 + Supervisor salary + Utilities + Depreciation
Total overhead cost = $32,880 + $15,500 + $5,500 + $6,500
Total overhead cost = $60,380
Kamal made a scale drawing of a house. The scale of the drawing was 7 inches : 3 feet. A rug in the hallway is 6 feet long in real life. How long is the rug in the drawing?
Answer:
14 inches
Explanation:
Given that :
Scale drawing ; 7 inches = 3 feets ;
This means that 7 inches on the drawing equals 3 feets in real life
With this, we can calculate the length of scale drawing for 1 feet long object.
7 inches = 3 feets
x = 1 feet
Cross multiply :
3x = 7
x = 7/3 inches
Therefore, for a 6 feet long rug in real life, the length of drawing will be :
1 Feet = 7/3 inches
6 feets = (7/3 * 6) inches
(7/3 * 6) = 42 / 3 = 14 inches
