Answer:
Correct option is E.
<u>14 pesos per dollar</u>
Explanation:
The exchange rate between Mexican pesos and dollars was 13.5 pesos per dollar.
According to the relative Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), the exchange rate was in equilibrium. But now,
Mexican inflation = 10%
U.S inflation = 3%
Now the Mexican peso is overvalued by = 10% - 3% = 7%
So, the possible increase in exchange rate (of pesos per dollar) considered with this assertion is = Exchange rate of pesos per dollar * Inflation rate
= 13.5 * 7%
= 13.5 * 7/100
= 0.945
The possible in exchange rate = Previous Exchange rate + Increase in exchange rate
= 13.5 + 0.945
= 14.445
= 14.4 (rounding off)
=14
Answer:
7.53%
Explanation:
Calculation for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)
The discount factor is : d=1/1+i
And given that the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will gives the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.
Therefore the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;
Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)
Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)
Present value=0.748
The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will therefore be 0.748.
Now, let calculate the discounting factor for the whole 4 years:
1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748
(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴
1+d (0,4) =1.0753
d (0,4)=0.0753
Therefore the discount rate will be 7.53%
Answer:
Cross functional team / will increase
Explanation:
A cross functional team can be defined as a team formed by people with different areas of expertise, as is the case of a team specialized in the organization of business events.
Cross functional teams have the advantages of making work more effective and more productive by the possibility that each person is responsible for a different area and therefore the work takes place in a much more flexible, dynamic and creative way, since there is greater autonomy, greater capacity to communication and lower hierarchy in these teams, and the greater the diversity of professionals, the more the teams will be innovative and productive.
Answer:
Overhead costs
Explanation:
When high overhead costs are recognised before project starts there will be a need to manage them. Since overhead cost increase as duration of project increases, reduction in project duration will go a long way in reducing cost incurred.
Overhead costs can include wages, rent, utility bills, maintenance costs and so on. They can also be reduced when costs that are not adding value is recognised.
Complete Question:
James Stilton is the chief executive officer (CEO) of RightLiving, Inc., a company that buys life insurance policies at a discount from terminally ill persons and sells the policies to investors. RightLiving pays the terminally ill patients a percentage of the future death benefit (usually 65%) and then sells the policies to investors for 85% of the value of the future benefit. The patients receive the cash to use for medical and other expenses, and the investors are "guaranteed" a positive return on their investment. The difference between the purchase and sale prices is RightLiving's profit.
Stilton is aware that some sick patients may obtain insurance policies through fraud (by not revealing their illness on the insurance application). An insurance company that discovers such fraud will cancel the policy and refuse to pay. Stilton believes that most of the policies he has purchased are legitimate, but he knows that some are probably not.
Requirement:
What are other ethical concerns that Stilton may be facing?
Answer with Explanation:
The ethical concerns of Stilton are as under:
- Should he tell the investors about the fraud about the policies before making sales?
- What policies must be implemented so that the legitimate people can easily sell the policies and if not implemented it would not be fair for the RightLiving, Inc.
- Stilton will also be facing ethical concerns because the business wishes that the customer dies early so that they can benefit from increased deaths of policy holders.
