Volusia, Inc. is a U.S.-based exporting firm that expects to receive payments denominated in both euros and Canadian dollars in one month. Based on today's spot rates, the dollar value of the funds to be received is estimated at $500,000 for the euros and $300,000 for the Canadian dollars. Based on data for the last fifty months, Volusia estimates the standard deviation of monthly percentage changes to be 8 percent for the euro and 3 percent for the Canadian dollar. The correlation coefficient between the euro and the Canadian dollar is 0.30. Assuming an expected percentage change of 0 percent for each currency during the next month, what is the maximum one-month loss of the currency portfolio? Use a 95 percent confidence level and assume the monthly percentage changes for each currency are normally distributed

Suppose the U.S. has a closed economy with GDP (Y) equal to $20.3 trillion, consumption (C) equal to $12.0 trillion, government spending (G) equal to $3.9 trillion, transfer payments (TR) equal to $1.8 trillion, and taxes (T) equal to $4.2 trillion.

Suppose the government passes legislation to reduce the size of its debt by reducing government spending by $0.4 trillion. What must happen to total savings (S)? That is, what is the dollar amount by which total savings changes? Assume the values for GDP, consumption, taxes, and transfer payments do not change.  Provide your answer in trillions of dollars rounded to one decimal place. Use a negative sign "-" for negative changes. Do not include any symbols, such as "$," "=," "%," or "," in your answer.

Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $52.00 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct materials, $14; direct labor, $16; variable overhead, $7.00; and fixed overhead, $7.00. Product engineering has determined that certain production changes could refine the product quality and functionality. These new production changes would increase material and labor costs by 20% per unit. Lakeside has received an offer from a nonprofit organization to buy 8,400 units at $38.40 per unit. Lakeside currently has unused production capacity.

Required:
a. Calculate the effect on Lakeside's operating income of accepting the order from the nonprofit organization.

Instruction:

• You are to observe the older adults in the video.

• Take note on the physical changes that occurs among older adult. (You can appreciate the changes by comparing the normal adult physical assessment to older adults)

• You will submit a proper documentation of findings written in narrative to be submitted in word format. Please follow the format given below for your documentation.

• Your documentation must be short and concise in writing your findings.

• Follow the sequence in your assessment that is cephalo-caudal.

c)Assuming that ROCE (return on common equity), g (the growth rate of the book value of common shareholders’ equity) and rE (the cost of equity capital) are constant, that markets are efficient, and:the company’s dividend payout ratio d is 20%,g is 8%,the company’s stock has an equity beta of 1.2,the risk free rate is 1% and the market risk premium is 6%,

what is the ROCE priced into the market?

Continuing with the information given in part (c), what will be the percentage effect onthe stock’s intrinsic value if:

(i)the market risk premium increases to 7%;

(ii)the market expectation of the dividend payout ratio changes to 50%;

(iii)the market expectation of future ROCE changes to 9%?

Try to explain the direction and magnitude of each change.
