A company wants to determine whether its consumer product ratings

​(0minus−​10)

have changed from last year to this year. The table below shows the​ company's product ratings from eight consumers for last year and this year. At

alphaαequals=​0.05,

is there enough evidence to conclude that the ratings have​ changed? Assume the samples are random and​ dependent, and the population is normally distributed. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (f).

Assume the following information: U.S. deposit rate for 1 year = 11% U.S. borrowing rate for 1 year = 12% Singapore deposit rate for 1 year = 8% Singapore borrowing rate for 1 year = 10% Singapore forward rate for 1 year = $0.40 Singapore spot rate = $0.39

3. Using the information above, if a US. Company expects to receive S$600,000 for exports sold to a Singapore company:

a. What will be the approximate value of these exports in 1 year in U.S. dollars given that the firm executes a forward hedge?

b. If the spot rate for the Singapore dollar 1 year later is $0.48, was the forward hedge a good strategy? Why? (Show by computation to defend your answer)

please answer the following:

14- An infinite life project with initial cost of $35,250 and a maintenance cost of $12,260 starting at year x and repeating every x years. If interest rate = 6% and x=6, find the capitalized cost CC.

15-Find the future worth FW of an annual amount of $3,226 increasing every year by $660 for 10 years, interest rate = 11%.

16-Starting at year 1, an amount of $4,026 is deposited in an account of 3% interest every year for 7 years. Find the value of the present worth PW at year 0.

17- A deposit of $9,750 is made at year 4, find the value of the future worth FW at year 10 , interest=7%.

Machine X has a first cost of $70,000 and an operating cost of $21,000 in year 1, increasing by $500 per
year through year 5 with a salvage value of $13,000. Machine Y has a first cost of $62,000 and an operating cost of
$21,000 in year 1, increasing by 3% per year through year 10 with a salvage value of $2000. If the interest rate is
i 13% per year, evaluate which machine must you choose on the basis of:

. Consider the following interest-rate swap:

• the swap starts today, January 1 of year 1 (swap settlement date)

• the reference rate is 3-month LIBOR

• the swap rate is 6%

• the notional amount of the swap is $40 million

• the term of the swap is three years
