Answer:
a. The advantages of the flexible exchange rate system include: (I) provides insulation against unemployment problem in other countries and (ii) promotes economic development and helps to achieve full employment in the country, iii) automatically corrects the disequilibrium in the balance of payments.
b. If exchange rates are fluctuating randomly, that may discourage international trade and encourage market segmentation, they are very volatile
c. Economic agents can hedge exchange risk by means of forward contracts and other techniques. In addition, under a fixed exchange rate regime, governments often restrict international trade in order to maintain the exchange rate.

Answer: Option B
Explanation: In simple words, current liabilities refers to the obligations and promises that an entity has to pay within a year. These liabilities usually arise due to the need of an organisation to fulfill their short term requirements to operate the business efficiently.
These liabilities are of critical in nature as they directly affects the liquidity of the business. In the given case, sales tax payable is the only obligation that must be fulfilled with a year. Hence it is a current liability.
Answer:
PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Number of year = 7
Pre-tax net returns (Fn) = $100
Growth rate = 4% = 0.04
Inflation = 3% = 0.03
Marginal tax rate = 30% = 0.3
Discount rate = 10% = 0.1
Computation:
Fn = Fo(1+g)ⁿ = 100(1.04)⁷
Fn = 131.6
Nominal net returns = 131.6(1.03)⁷
Nominal net returns = 161.85
After tax return = 161.85 (1 - 0.3)
After tax return = 113.30
After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1(1-0.3) = 7%
PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 113.30
(1+0.07)⁻⁷
PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)
To
determine what the depreciation of an asset using straight line method, the
formula to be used is:
(Initial
cost of machine – salvage value) divided by estimated useful life
So in
this problem:
Initial Cost
- $135000
Salvage
Value – $15000
Estimated
Useful Life – 5 years
Plug that
in the formula
Annual
depreciation = ($135000 - $15000) / 5
= $120000/
5
= $24,000
The first
year depreciation for the machine is $24000 because the company bought it in
the beginning of the year. (So there is no need to divide this by 12 months)
To record
this:
Depreciation
Expense $24000
<span> Accumulated Depreciation $24000</span>
Answer:
Part (a) The net income of carter is $115 million.
Part (b) The closing cash balance at the end of year is $360.
Explanation:
Part (a) Net Income Computation:
Sales $825
Cost of goods sold <u>(</u><u>$290</u><u>)</u>
Gross Profit $535
Other Expenses <u>(</u><u>$425</u><u>)</u>
Net income $115 Million
Part (b) The cash balance of Carter is not dependent on non cash flows. So the cash transactions would be considered here for cash balance computation.
Opening Cash position $290
Collection from Sales $710
Inventory Invoices paid ($350)
For Everything <u>($290)</u>
Closing Cash balance $360
