1. For each of the following, is it part of the demand for yen or supply of yen in the foreign exchange market? a. A Japanese firm sells its US government securities to obtain funds to buy real estate in Japan. Demand for yen. The Japanese firm is trying to convert dollars to yen, so it is contributing to the demand for yen. b. A US import company pays for glassware purchased from a small Japanese producer. The Japanese exporter needs to buy yen to buy from the producer. This contributes to the demand for yen. c. A US farm cooperative receives payment from a Japanese importer of US oranges? The US farm cooperative is paid in yen. It needs to convert the yen to dollars, so it contributes to the supply of yen for foreign exchange. d. A US pension fund uses some incoming contributions to buy equity shares of several Japanese companies through the Tokyo stock exchange. Document Preview:
Dulshan De Silva ECON 335 – Aaron Popp Assignment # 6 May 19, 2016 Econ 335: Assignment 6 For each of the following, is it part of the demand for yen or supply of yen in the foreign exchange market? A Japanese firm sells its US government securities to obtain funds to buy real estate in Japan. Demand for yen. The Japanese firm is trying to convert dollars to yen, so it is contributing to the demand for yen. A US import company pays for glassware purchased from a small Japanese producer. The Japanese exporter needs to buy yen to buy from the producer. This contributes to the demand for yen. A US farm cooperative receives payment from a Japanese importer of US oranges? The US farm cooperative is paid in yen. It needs to convert the yen to dollars, so it contributes to the supply of yen for foreign exchange. A US pension fund uses some incoming contributions to buy equity shares of several Japanese companies through the Tokyo stock exchange. Demand for yen because the pension fund needs to convert dollars to yen. Please classify the following exchange rate regimes as fixed, intermediate, or flexible. Please assume that if the exchange rate regime is fixed, I am giving you the exchange rate to which it is fixed: The Japanese yen-US dollar exchange rate: It’s difficult to conclude a management of this exchange rate. The Japanese yen-US dollar exchange rate is a flexible exchange rate regime determined by market forces. The Malaysian ringgit-US dollar exchange rate from 1999 to 2005: From 1999 to 2005, the ringgit-US dollar exchange rate is constant, indicating a fixed exchange rate regime. The Malaysian ringgit-US dollar exchange rate from 2006 to the present above As the ringgit-dollar exchange rate has fluctuated significantly it’s a flexible exchange rate regime. The Swiss franc-euro exchange rate from 2012 to late 2014: The Swiss franc-euro exchange rate is fairly stable over the time period, but not completely steady. In this…

1. For a system familiar to you, investigate the models commonly used to architecturally define such systems. Do these models cover all important views? How are the models integrated? Is it possible to trace the interaction of issues from one model to another?
2. Build an integrated model of a system familiar to you covering at least three views. If the models in any view seem unsatisfactory, or integration is lacking, investigate other models for those views to see if they could be usefully applied.
1. Firm K is a leading maker of water-proof outerwear. during the wintermonths, demand for its main line of waterproof coats is given by:
P = 800-0.15Q,
Where Pdenotes price in dollars and Q is quantity of units sold per month. The firmproduces coats in a single plant (which it leases by the year). The totalmonthly cost of producing these coats is estimated to be:
C = 175,000+300Q +0,1
(Leasing the plant accounts for almost all of the$175,000 fixed cost.) Find the firm’s profit-maximizing output and price. ifthe firm’s other outerwear products generate $50.000 in contribution, what isthe firm’s total month profit?

2. Determine the system function of the system implemented by the following MATLAB statement:
1. Find cost of capital for a company of your choice.
Steps involved: Determine equity beta, determine its current capital structure, determine its pre-tax cost of debt (keep in mind that determining cost of debt for companies with low credit rating involves different approach than for companies with high debt rating), determine weighted average cost of capital (r WACC)
2. Propose an expansion project for the company from question 1 in a business area that is different from its current area(s). Find asset return in the proposed area of business. Find weighted average cost of capital of the expansion project assuming that the company would finance it with the same mixture of debt and equity as the rest of the company.
3. You have just been hired by Internal Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in their capital budgeting division. Your first assignment is to determine the free cash flows and NPV of a proposed new type of tablet computer similar in size to an iPad but with the operating power of a high-end desktop system. Development of the new system will initially require an initial capital expenditure equal to 10% of IBM’s Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) at the end of fiscal year 2014. The project will require an additional investment equal to 10% of the initial investment after the first year of the project, a 5% increase after the second year, and a 1% increase after the third, fourth, and fifth years. The product is expected to have a life of five years. First-year revenues for the product are expected to be 3% of IBM’s total revenue for the fiscal year 2014. The new product’s revenues are expected to grow at 15% for the second year then 10% for the third and 5% annually for the final two years of the expected life of the project. Your job is to determine the rest of the cash flows associated with this project. Your boss has indicated that the operating costs and net working capital requirements are similar to the rest of the company and that depreciation is straight-line for capital budgeting purposes. Here are some tips to guide your analysis:
1. Obtain IBM’s financial statements. (If you really worked for IBM you would already have this data, but at least you won’t get fired if your analysis is off target.) Down load the annual income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements for the last fiscal years from Yahoo! Finance (finance.yahoo.com). Enter IBM’s ticker symbol and then go to “financials.”
2. You are now ready to estimate the Free Cash Flow for the new product. Compute the Free Cash Flow for each year as
Free Cash Flow=(Revenues-Costs-Depreciation) x(1-TC) + Depreciation – Capital Expenditure –
Set up the timeline and computation of free cash flow in separate, contiguous columns for each year of the project life. Be sure to make outflows negative and inflows positive.
a. Assume that the project’s profitability will be similar to IBM’s existing projects in 2014 and estimate (revenues-costs) each year by using the 2014 EBITDA/Sales profit margin. Calculate EBITDA as EBIT + Depreciation expense from the cash flow statement.
b. Determine the annual depreciation by assuming IBM depreciates these assets by straight-line method over a 5-year life.
c. Determine IBM’s tax rate by using the income tax rate in 2014.
d. Calculate the net working capital required each year by assuming that the level of Net working capital will be a constant percentage of the project’s sales. Use IBM’s 2014 net working capital/sales to estimate the required percentage. (Use only accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory to measure working capital. other components of current assets and liabilities are harder to interpret and not necessarily reflective of the project’s required net working capital- for example, IBM’s cash holdings.)
e. To determine the free cash flow, deduct the additional investment and the change in net working capital each year.
3. Use Excel to determine the NPV of the project with a 12% cost of capital.
