The applicable interest rate for the project in Canada is 12 percent. The current spot rate is C$1 = $.9126. What is the net present value of this project in Canadian dollars?

C$24,650

Explanation:

initial cost C$828,000

net cash flows for years 1, 2 and 3 C$355,000

discount rate 12%

the net present value in C$ = C$355,000/1.12 + C$355,000/1.12² + C$355,000/1.12³ - C$828,000 = C$316,964 + C$283,004 + C$252,682 -  C$828,000 = C$24,650

Since we are asked to determine the NPV in Canadian dollars, all we need to do is carry out the same calculations as if they were any other currency. We do not need to make any adjustments due to the exchange rate between US dollars and Canadian dollars.

a manufacturer of printed circuit boards uses exponential smoothing with trend to forecast monthly demand of its product. at the end of december, the company wishes to forecast sales for january. the estimate of trend through november has been 200 additional boards sold per month. average sales have been around 1000 units per month. the demand for december was 1100 units. the company uses α = 0.20 and β = 0.10. make a forecast including trend for the month of january.

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
