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.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Efficiency of the repair shop is 66.67%

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ability to avoid the available resources such as workforce, time, money, material etc. The maximum output in the available resources is efficiency.

Total Capacity of repair fleet = 800 trucks

Effective Capacity of repair fleet = 600 trucks

Actual Output = 400 trucks

Trucks Utilization = Actual Output / Total Capacity = (400 / 800) x 100 = 50%

Efficiency = Actual output / Effective Capacity = (400 / 600) x 100 = 66.7%
