Write a program that will convert U.S. dollar amounts to Japanese yen and to euros, storing the conversion factors in the constants YEN_PER_DOLLAR and EUROS_PER_ DOLLAR. To get the most up-to-date exchange rates, search the Internet using the term “currency exchange rate”. If you cannot find the most recent exchange rates, use the following: 1 Dollar = 98.93 Yen 1 Dollar = 0.74 Euros Format your currency amounts in fixed-point notation, with two decimal places of precision, and be sure the decimal point is always displayed.

Eastman Company lost most of its inventory in a fire in December just before the year-end physical inventory was taken. Corporate records disclose the following.

$$\begin{array}{lrrllrrr} \text{Inventory (beginning)}&&\$\hspace{10pt}80,000&\hspace{10pt}&\text{Sales revenue}&&\$\hspace{5pt}415,000\\ \text{Purchases}&&290,000&\hspace{10pt}&\text{Sales returns}&&21,000\\ \text{Purchase returns}&&28,000&\hspace{10pt}&\text{Gross Profit \\\% based on}&&\\ \text{}&&&\hspace{10pt}&\hspace{10pt}\text{net selling price}&&35\%\\ \end{array}$$

Merchandise with a selling price of $30,000 remained undamaged after the fire, and damaged merchandise has a net realizable value of$8,150. The company does not carry fire insurance on its inventory.

The following are the gas mileages recorded during a series of road tests with four new models of Japanese luxury sedans. Test the null hypothesis that all four models, on the average, give the same mileage. Let $\alpha=0.05$ Will the conclusion change if $\alpha=0.10$?

Airplanes and trains move through the earth’s magnetic field at rather high speeds, so it is reasonable to wonder whether this field can have a substantial effect on them. We shall use a typical value of 0.50 G for the earth’s field.

The French TGV train and the Japanese “bullet train” reach speeds of up to 180 mph moving on tracks about 1.5 m apart. At top speed moving perpendicular to the earth’s magnetic field, what potential difference is induced across the tracks as the wheels roll? Does this seem large enough to produce noticeable effects?

Consider a larger currency exchange matrix, involving four of the world’s leading currencies: Euro (€), U.S. dollar ($), Japanese yen (¥), and British pound (£).$

$$\quad \quad\ €\ \quad \$\ \quad ¥ \quad £ \\ A=\left[\begin{array}{cccc} * & \frac{5}{8} & * & * \\ * & * & * & 2 \\ 170 & * & * & * \\ * & * & * & * \end{array}\right] \begin{array}{l} € \\ \$ \\ ¥ \\ £ \end{array}$$

$The entry$a_{i j}$gives the value of one unit of the j th currency, expressed in terms of the i th currency. For example,$a_{31}=170$ means that €1 = ¥170 (as of June 2008). Find the exact values of the 13 missing entries of A (expressed as fractions).

Renée Michaels, CFA, plans to invest $1 million in U.S. government cash equivalents for the next 90 days. Michaels’s client has authorized her to use non-U.S. government cash equivalents, but only if the currency risk is hedged to U.S. dollars by using forward currency contracts. a. Calculate the U.S.-dollar value of the hedged investment at the end of 90 days for each of the two cash equivalents in the table below. Show all calculations. b. Briefly explain the theory that best accounts for your results. c. Based upon this theory, estimate the implied interest rate for a 90-day U.S. government cash equivalent.
