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.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

a. Direct materials & supplies  $40,000 = $40,000 × 110%

= $44,000 × 20,000/25,000

= $35,200

Employee costs = $2,900,000 × 105%

= $3,045,000 × 20,000/25,000

= $2,346,000

Variable overhead = $600,000 × 100%

= $600,000 × 20,000/25000

= $480,000

Fixed overhead = $700,000 × 105%

= $735,000

b. Total costs per unit year 2 =

$3,596,000 / 20,000
