Answer:

Spot USD/GBP rate = 1.5711

(a) 1 year USD/GBP forward rate:

= [Spot rate × (1 + Domestic currency interest rate)] ÷ (1 + foreign currency interest rate)

= [1.5711 × (1+0.19%)] ÷ (1 + 0.39%)

= 1.56797, which means the USD will be at a forward premium

b) The observed 1 year forward rate is 1.60 which differs from the ideal forward rate.

This means an arbitrage opportunity exists here.

c) I would sell GBP forward for 1 year @ 1.60.

This means that I will receive USD 1.60 for every 1 GBP I sell instead of  1.56797 that is the ideal deal.

This is how I would take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 60% of its total conversion costs. Direct labor is $52,000.

We know that the conversion cost formula is:

Conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing overhead

We need to use a rule of three:

60% = 52,000

100% = x

x= 1*52,000/0.6= 86,667

Now we can calculate overhead:

86,667= 52,000 + overhead

overhead= 34,667
