“Fourth quarter U.S. online sales grew 26.2 percent as compared to the same period in the previous year. Full year results show U.S. online sales year-over-year growth was 32.2%. Overall, full year total company sales, including both online and store sales, increased 9.5% year-over-year.”

Which of the following would NOT explain what this is about?

Euromarket investment and fund raising   A​ U.S.-based multinational company has two​ subsidiaries, one in Mexico​ (local currency, Mexican​ peso, MP) and one in Japan​ (local currency,​ yen, ¥). Forecasts of business operations indicate the following​ short-term financing position for each subsidiary​ (in equivalent U.S.​ dollars):

​Mexico: $85 million excess cash to be invested​ (lent)

​Japan: $70 million funds to be raised​ (borrowed)

The management gathered the following​ data:

a) Determine the effective interest rates for all three currencies in both the Euromarket and the domestic​ market;

b) Then indicate where the funds should be invested and raised.  

​(​Note: Assume that because of local​ regulations, a subsidiary is not permitted to use the domestic market of any other​ subsidiary.)

Siam Cement. Siam​ Cement, the​ Bangkok-based cement​ manufacturer, suffered enormous losses with the coming of the Asian crisis in 1997. The company had been pursuing a very aggressive growth strategy in the​ mid-1990s, taking on massive quantities of​ foreign-currency-denominated debt​ (primarily U.S.​ dollars). When the Thai baht​ (B) was devalued from its pegged rate of B25.9​/$ in July​ 1997, Siam's interest payments alone were over​ $900 million on its outstanding dollar debt​ (with an average interest rate of 8.73% on its U.S. dollar debt at that​ time). Assuming Siam Cement took out $ 53million in debt in June 1997 at 8.73​% ​interest, and had to repay it in one year when the spot exchange rate had stabilized at $B41.2/$​, what was the foreign exchange loss incurred on the​ transaction?

The amount of the foreign exchange loss incurred on the transaction is B __.  (Round to the nearest whole​ number.)

A cocoa shipping firm has determined the its U.S demand curve is given by: Q=7,500-3P

where Q is metric tons of cocoa and P is the price per metric ton. The firm can import cocoa from the Ivory Coast for $1,850 per metric ton. It's shipping cost is $104 per metric ton of cocoa. The company has fixed costs of $2,000.

a. Write the inverse demand function and illustrate with a simple diagram.

b. Write the revenue function. At what level of output (Q) is revenue maximized?

c. Display the profit function.

d. Indicate the level of profit (or losses) if Q=0

e. Determine the optimal price and quantity for this firm.

f. Suppose the U.S government imposed an import tariff of $270 per metric ton of cocoa. Compute the effect of the tariff on the optimal price and quantity sold by this firm. Does the tariff affect profits? Explain.
