Retirement savings

A couple thinking about retirement decides to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years, they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested.

a. How much money will they have accumulated 30 years from now?

b. If the goal is to retire with $800,000 savings, how much extra do they need to save every year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $408,334.39

b. $3,457.40

Explanation:

r = rate per period = 8% = 0.08

P = Initial Value of Gift = $10,000

t = time = 30 - 5 = 25, As received after 5 years.

[tex]A = P (1 + r)^{t}[/tex]

[tex]A = $10,000 (1 + 0.08)^{25}[/tex]

[tex]A = $10,000 x 1.08^{25}[/tex]

A = $10,000 x 6.8485

A = $68,484.75

[tex]FV of annuity = P [\frac{(1 + r)^{n} - 1}{r} ][/tex]

P = Periodic Payment = $3,000

a.

n = number of periods = 30

[tex]FV of annuity = 3,000 [\frac{(1 + 0.08)^{30} - 1}{0.08} ][/tex]

[tex]FV of annuity = 3,000 [\frac{(1.08)^{30} - 1}{0.08} ][/tex]

[tex]FV of annuity = 3,000 [\frac{10.0627 - 1} {0.08} ][/tex]

[tex]FV of annuity = 3,000 [\frac{9.0627} {0.08} ][/tex]

FV of annuity = $3,000 x 113.2832

FV of annuity = $339,849.63

Accumulated value of money can be calculated as follows;

$68,484.75 + $339,849.63

$408,334.39

b.

If they wish to retire with $800,000 savings, they need to save additional amount of money every year to provide additional amount of money, as follows;

$800,000 - $68,484.75

$731,515.24

The extra annual savings can be calculated as follows;

[tex]731,515.24 = P [\frac{(1 + 0.08)^{30} - 1 }{0.08} ][/tex]

$731,515.24 = P x 113.28

Divide the above equation by 113.28 we get;

[tex]P = \frac{731,515.24}{113.28}[/tex]

P = $6,457.40

They are already paying $3,000, So the extra saving they need make every year is calculated as follows;

$6,457.40 - $3,000

$3,457.40

On January 1, 2021, the Coldstone Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO retail inventory method. Beginning inventory at cost and at retail were $200,000 and $282,450, respectively. Net purchases during the year at cost and at retail were $693,600 and $856,000, respectively. Markups during the year were $11,000. There were no markdowns. Net sales for 2021 were $846,000. The retail price index at the end of 2021 was 1.05. What is the inventory balance that Coldstone would report in its 12/31/2021 balance sheet

Answers

Final answer:

Coldstone Corporation's inventory balance for the 12/31/2021 balance sheet, using the dollar-value LIFO retail inventory method, and adjusting for the retail price index, is $204,757.50.

Explanation:

To calculate the inventory balance for Coldstone Corporation, we apply the dollar-value LIFO retail inventory method. We need to convert the Ending Inventory at retail to cost by using the retail price index. The steps involved are as follows:

Calculate the cost-to-equal ratio at the beginning of the year by dividing Beginning Inventory at Cost ($200,000) by Beginning Inventory at Retail ($282,450). This gives us a ratio of 0.7085.Next, we add Net Purchases at Cost to Beginning Inventory at Cost to get the Cost of Goods Available for Sale. This is $200,000 + $693,600 = $893,600.Net Purchases at Retail are added to Beginning Inventory at Retail and Markups to get Goods Available for Sale at Retail. This is $282,450 + $856,000 + $11,000 = $1,149,450.Deduct Net Sales from Goods Available at Retail to find the Ending Inventory at Retail. So, $1,149,450 - $846,000 = $303,450.Finally, we adjust the Ending Inventory at Retail to reflect year-end prices by applying the retail price index (1.05). So, $303,450 / 1.05 = $289,000.Lastly, multiply the adjusted Ending Inventory at Retail by the Cost-to-Retail Ratio to get the Ending Inventory at Cost, which is $289,000 × 0.7085 = $204,757.50.

Therefore, the inventory balance that Coldstone would report in its 12/31/2021 balance sheet is $204,757.50.

The inventory balance that Coldstone would report in its 12/31/2021 balance sheet, after rounding to the nearest dollar, is: $235,710

To calculate the inventory balance that Coldstone would report on its 12/31/2021 balance sheet using the dollar-value LIFO retail inventory method, we need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the cost of the ending inventory at retail by multiplying the beginning inventory at retail by the retail price index:

 Ending Inventory at Retail = Beginning Inventory at Retail × Retail Price Index

 Ending Inventory at Retail = $282,450 × 1.05

 Ending Inventory at Retail = $296,522.50

2. Calculate the cost of the ending inventory at cost by using the cost-to-retail ratio applied to the ending inventory at retail:

 Cost-to-Retail Ratio = (Beginning Inventory at Cost + Net Purchases at Cost) / (Beginning Inventory at Retail + Net Purchases at Retail)

 Cost-to-Retail Ratio = ($200,000 + $693,600) / ($282,450 + $856,000)

 Cost-to-Retail Ratio = $893,600 / $1,138,450

 Cost-to-Retail Ratio = 0.7847 (approximately)

 Ending Inventory at Cost = Ending Inventory at Retail × Cost-to-Retail Ratio

 Ending Inventory at Cost = $296,522.50 × 0.7847

 Ending Inventory at Cost = $232,845.98 (approximately)

3. Adjust the ending inventory at cost for the markup on ending inventory:

 Markup on Ending Inventory = Markups × (Ending Inventory at Cost / (Beginning Inventory at Cost + Net Purchases at Cost))

 Markup on Ending Inventory = $11,000 × ($232,845.98 / $893,600)

 Markup on Ending Inventory = $11,000 × 0.2604 (approximately)

 Markup on Ending Inventory = $2,864.40 (approximately)

 Adjusted Ending Inventory at Cost = Ending Inventory at Cost + Markup on Ending Inventory

 Adjusted Ending Inventory at Cost = $232,845.98 + $2,864.40

 Adjusted Ending Inventory at Cost = $235,710.38 (approximately)

Who controls the supply for coffee shops and based on what factors

Answers

Answer:

Jeff controls the supply for coffee shops, based on the cost and wages.

Explanation:

Market prices control coffee shop supply, which is also influenced by other factors such as input and production costs, as well as technological advancements.

What is supply?

The supply function denotes the amount of a particular good or service that producers are willing to offer in the market at various price levels.

According to the law of supply, there is a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal). When the price of coffee rises, so does the amount that producers are willing to offer. Furthermore, other factors influence the quantity supplied because variations in those factors shift the supply curve:

Input prices: as input prices rise, production costs fall and suppliers are willing to offer more output. The supply curve shifts right.Technology advancements enable more efficient production, and sellers are willing to produce and offer a greater volume of output in the markets. The supply curve shifts to the right.

Therefore, market prices, along with other factors controls the supply for coffee shops.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The preferred stock is non-cumulative, and in previous years, the company has not skipped any dividends.

Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage

= 3300 × $103 × 7%

= $23,793

Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders

= $123,500 - $23,793

= $99,707

2. The preferred stock is non-cumulative, and in both of the two previous years, the company did not pay a dividend.

Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage

= 3300 × $103 × 7%

= $23,793

Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders

= $123,500 - $23,793

= $99,707

3. The preferred stock is cumulative, and in both of the two previous years the company did not pay a dividend.

Dividend paid to preferred shareholders =  Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage × Number of years

= 3,300 × $103 × 7% × 3

= $71,379

Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders

= $123,500 - $71,379

= $52,121

Suppose the daily market demand for meat in a small town is given by


Qd = 5/3p^2


where Qd is the quantity demanded (pounds of meat), and p is the price per pound of meat.


Suppose this market is served by a profit-maximizing monopolist (that is, there is only one butcher in this town). Suppose also that the price charged per pound of meat is $0.50. The monopolist's marginal cost must be _______.

Answers

Final answer:

In a monopoly market, a profit-maximizing monopolist sets the price equal to the marginal cost. Given that he's charging $0.50 per pound of meat, his marginal cost must therefore be $0.50.

Explanation:

The given demand function is Qd = 5/3p^2. Here, Qd represents the quantity of meat demanded at a given price p. The monopolist, being the only butcher in the town, is a profit-maximizer and therefore sets his price equal to his marginal cost (MC). When the price per pound of meat is $0.50, we can substitute p into the demand function to find the quantity of meat demanded at this price. However, for a monopolist, the marginal cost of production remains constant. So, based on the conditions provided in your question, the monopolist's marginal cost must be $0.50 because a profit-maximizing monopolist sets price equal to marginal cost.

Suppose you believe that Du Pont's stock price is going to decline from its current level of $ 83.30 sometime during the next 5 months. For $ 412.33 you could buy a 5-month put option giving you the right to sell 100 shares at a price of $ 76 per share. If you bought a 100-share contract for $ 412.33 and Du Pont's stock price actually changed to $ 82.09 at the end of five months, your net profit (or loss) after behaving rationally on the decision to exercise the option would be ______?

Answers

Answer:

A loss of $1021.33

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the net profit.

The profit = The current stock price - drop in stock price

$76- $82.09 = -6.09

Profit / loss = -6.09

The second step is to calculate the total gross profit

The total gross profit/loss =  Outstanding shares * Profit

100 shares * - 6.09 = -$609

The total gross profit = -$609

Therefore the Net profit or loss

Net profit=Total gross profit -Contract price

= -609- 412.33

= -1021.33 (loss)

A the end of five months, your net profit (or loss) after behaving rationally on the decision to exercise the option would be a loss -$1021.33

The bolt-making industry currently consists of 20 producers, all of whom operate with the identical short-run total cost curves �(�) = 16 + �), where q is the annual output of a firm. The market demand for bolts is �- = 110 − � (assume that the industry is perfectly competitive). a. What is the firm's short-run supply curve? b. What is the short-run market supply curve? c. Determine the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this industry. d. What is each firm’s profit? e. What is the aggregate producer surplus?

Answers

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Suppose that there are PO producers. All have an identical short run total cost curves  [tex]C(q) = 16 + F^{2}[/tex]

Here, q is the annual output of a firm

firm's short run supply curve is the marginal cost above the average variable cost.

Marginal cost is the change in total cost due to change in quantity.

the perfect competitive market for profit maximixing output, price is equal to marginal cost.

kindly check the below attached images for further explanation.

In a perfectly competitive bolt-making industry, the analysis involves deriving the short-run supply curve, market supply curve, determining the short-run equilibrium price and quantity, calculating each firm's profit, and determining the aggregate producer surplus.

The analysis of the bolt-making industry operating under perfect competition requires understanding the short-run supply curve, market supply curve, and determining the short-run equilibrium. To address these queries:
a. The firm's short-run supply curve is derived from its marginal cost (MC) equation. Since the total cost (TC) given is TC(q) = 16 + q, differentiating it w.r.t. q gives MC = 1. This means the supply curve is perfectly elastic at MC.
b. The short-run market supply curve, with 20 identical producers, is simply 20 times the individual supply for a given price, assuming all firms have the same MC.
c. To find the short-run equilibrium price and quantity, equate the market demand and supply. The demand equation QD = 110 - P intersects with the supply at this equilibrium. Solving this with the supply equation leads to the equilibrium values.
d. Each firm's profit is calculated by subtracting total costs from total revenue, where total revenue is P*q and TC is given by the TC(q) equation.
e. The aggregate producer surplus, in a perfectly competitive market, is the area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price up to the quantity produced.

Sparrow Corporation (a calendar year, accrual basis taxpayer) had the following transactions in 2019, its second year of operation: Taxable income $330,000 Federal income tax liability paid 69,300 Tax-exempt interest income 5,000 Business meals expense (total) 3,000 Premiums paid on key employee life insurance 3,500 Increase in cash surrender value attributable to life insurance premiums 700 Proceeds from key employee life insurance policy 130,000 Cash surrender value of life insurance policy at distribution 20,000 Excess of capital losses over capital gains 13,000 MACRS deduction 26,000 Straight-line depreciation using ADS lives 16,000 Section 179 Expense elected in 2018 25,000 Dividends received from domestic corporations (less than 20% owned) 35,000 Sparrow uses the LIFO inventory method, and its LIFO recapture amount increased by $10,000 during 2019.

Indicate whether each item (or part of the item) is "Added" to, "Deducted" from taxable income, or "No effect" when computing current E& P.
b. Sparrow Corporation's current E & P is $ .........

Answers

Final answer:

Sparrow Corporation's current E&P is calculated by adjusting its taxable income with specific items, including tax-exempt interest, business meals, life insurance, capital losses, MACRS, Section 179 expense, dividends, LIFO recapture, and installment sales. These adjustments are necessary because tax rules and E&P calculations differ.

Explanation:

The calculation of Sparrow Corporation's current Earnings and Profits (E&P) requires adjusting its taxable income for specific items that are treated differently for tax and E&P purposes. Below are the adjustments:

Tax-exempt interest income: No effect on E&P because it is already excluded from taxable income.Business meals expense: Deducted for tax purposes but only 50% deductible for E&P calculations.Premiums paid on key employee life insurance: Added back to E&P because they are not deductible for tax purposes.Proceeds from key employee life insurance policy: No effect on E&P as life insurance proceeds are generally excluded from both taxable income and E&P.Excess of capital losses over capital gains: Added back to E&P to the extent that losses exceed gains, since only realized gains and losses are considered for E&P.MACRS deduction: Deducted for tax purposes but for E&P, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.Section 179 Expense elected in 2018: No effect on current year E&P.Dividends received from domestic corporations: Deducted for tax purposes with a dividends-received deduction; for E&P purposes, the dividend amount is generally included in E&P but with a related deduction.LIFO recapture: Added to E&P because this adjustment ensures that E&P reflects income computed under the FIFO inventory method.Installment Sale: The profit portion of the installment payment received is included in E&P for the year received.

To calculate current E&P for Sparrow Corporation, each of these items must be considered in combination with the corporation's taxable income.

1. Nome Co. sponsors a defined benefit plan covering all employees. Benefits are based on years of service and compensation levels at the time of retirement. Nome determined that, as of September 30, year 2, its accumulated benefit obligation was $380,000, and its plan assets had a $290,000 fair value. The projected benefit obligation on September 30, year 2, was $400,000. In its September 30, year 2 balance sheet, what amount should Nome report as pension liability? $380,000 $110,000 $400,000 $ 90,000

Answers

Answer:

$110,000

Explanation:

There is pension liability for a corporation when the the projected benefit obligation (PBO) is greater than the fair value of plan assets. Therefore, pension liability is obtained by simply deducting the fair value of plan assets from the PBO as follows:

Pension liability = $400,000 - $290,000 = $110,000

Therefore, Nome should report $110,000 as pension liability in its September 30, year 2 balance sheet.

Michael's, Inc., just paid $2.25 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 4.9 percent. If you require a rate of return of 9.1 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock?

Answers

Final answer:

Using the Gordon Growth Model, an investor who requires a 9.1% rate of return would be willing to pay $53.57 for a share of Michael's, Inc. stock, expecting future dividends to grow at a rate of 4.9 percent.

Explanation:

To determine the value of Michael's, Inc. stock given the dividend payment and growth rate, we will use the Gordon Growth Model. This model is used in financial analysis to determine the present value of a stock based on a future series of dividends that grow at a constant rate. Given that Michael's, Inc. paid an annual dividend of $2.25 and announced that future dividends will be increasing by 4.9%, and the investor requires a 9.1% rate of return, the calculation is as follows:

Present value of stock = Dividend per share / (Required rate of return - Growth rate)

Present value of stock = $2.25 / (0.091 - 0.049)

Present value of stock = $2.25 / 0.042

Present value of stock = $53.57

Therefore, an investor would be willing to pay $53.57 today for one share of Michael's, Inc. stock, expecting the dividends to increase at a constant rate of 4.9 percent.

Meat​ Packers, Incorporated​ (MPI) preserves and packages various kinds of meats for transportation to grocery stores. To prepare and transport each meat package to a grocery​ store, the firm must purchase ​$40 in raw meat and pay ​$90 in wages for labor and ​$80 in fuel costs. In​ addition, the firm rents a factory for ​$14 comma 000 per month and makes ​$3 comma 000 in monthly payments on meat packaging equipment. Suppose the firm prepares and transports 2 comma 000 packages of meat per month. What are the​ firm's fixed and variable costs of production in a given​ month? The​ firm's fixed cost of production is ​$ nothing​, and its variable cost of production is ​$ nothing. ​(Enter numeric responses using​ integers.)

Answers

Answer:

Total variable cost= $420,000

Total fixed costs= $17,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable cost per unit:

Direct material= ​$40

Direct labor= ​$90

Unitary variable overhead= ​$80

Fixed costs:

Rent= ​$14,000 per month

Equipment= ​$3,000

Production= 2,000 packages

Total variable cost= unitary cost* production in units

Total variable cost= 210*2,000= $420,000

Total fixed costs= $17,000

Suppose that three firms make up the entire tire manufacturing industry. One has a 50% market share, and the other two have a 25% market share each. The Herfindahl index of this industry is . A new firm, Tread Tough, enters the tire manufacturing industry and immediately captures a 15% share of the market. This would cause the Herfindahl index for the industry to . The largest possible value of the Herfindahl index is 10,000 because: An industry with an index higher than 10,000 is automatically regulated by the Justice Department An index of 10,000 corresponds to 100 firms with a 1% market share each An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share

Answers

Answer: 2700

Explanation:

Given data

The Herfindahl Index of the industry is

HI = 50^2 + 25^2 + 25^2 = 3,750.

when another firms joins the market, this would cause a decrease in the Herfindahl Index.

new firm ( tread tough) enters the market with a 15% of the share market this would affect the largest shareholder there by causing a reduction in his shares to 35%.

the total HI would now be

HI = 35^2 + 25^2 + 25^2 + 15^2 = 2700.

The Herfindahl Index can never be more than 10,000, as this would represent a 100% market monopoly from a single company. In a perfect monopoly HI is 100^2 = 10,000.

A 12-year bond of a firm in severe financial distress has a coupon rate of 12% and sells for $920. The firm is currently renegotiating the debt, and it appears that the lenders will allow the firm to reduce coupon payments on the bond to one-half the originally contracted amount. The firm can handle these lower payments. What are the stated and expected yields to maturity of the bonds? The bond makes its coupon payments annually.

Answers

Answer:

13.37% ; 7.01%

Explanation:

The computation of the stated and expected yields to maturity of the bonds is shown in the attachment below:

For stated yield, we use the RATE formula i.e

Given that,  

Present value = $920

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 12% = $120

NPER = 12 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the stated yield is 13.37%

Now for expected yield, we also use the RATE formula i.e

Given that,  

Present value = $920

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 12% ÷ 2 = $60

NPER = 12 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the expected yield is 7.01%

Final answer:

The stated yield to maturity (YTM) for the bond was based on the full coupon rate of 12%, but after renegotiating the debt and halving the coupon payments, the expected YTM is calculated to be 6.944%.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the stated and expected yield to maturity (YTM) for a 12-year bond, which has a coupon rate of 12% and currently sells for $920. Post-renegotiation, the coupon payments will be halved. To find the stated YTM, we would typically use the coupon payments, face value, and current price of the bond. However, since the coupon payments are expected to change, we need to recalculate.

Originally, the annual coupon payment was 12% of $1000, which is $120. After renegotiating, the coupon payment will be half of this, so $60 per year. With 12 years to maturity and a current price of $920, we can use the formula for YTM for bonds with annual coupons:

YTM Calculation:

YTM = (C + ((F - P) / n)) / ((F + P) / 2)

C = Annual coupon payment ($60 after renegotiation)F = Face value of the bond ($1000)P = Current price of the bond ($920)n = Number of years to maturity (12)

Plugging in the values, we calculate the expected YTM:

YTM = ($60 + (($1000 - $920) / 12)) / (($1000 + $920) / 2)

= ($60 + $6.67) / $960

= $66.67 / $960

= 0.06944 or 6.944%

The expected yield to maturity is 6.944%, whereas the originally stated YTM before renegotiation would have been based on the full coupon amount and the current price.

The quality control manager at a computer manufacturing company believes that the mean life of a computer is 80 months, with a standard deviation of 10 months. If he is correct, what is the probability that the mean of a sample of 73 computers would be less than 83.28 months? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability that the mean of a sample of 73 computers would be less than 83.28 months, we can use the z-score formula.

Explanation:

To find the probability that the mean of a sample of 73 computers would be less than 83.28 months, we can use the z-score formula.

First, we calculate the standard error using the formula:

Standard Error = Standard Deviation / Square Root of Sample Size

Standard Error = 10 / √73 = 1.170

Next, we calculate the z-score using the formula:

z = (Sample Mean - Population Mean) / Standard Error

z = (83.28 - 80) / 1.170 = 2.800

Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find the probability that z is less than 2.800.

Explanation:

The GDP or Gross Dividend Product of the country is the total value of the economic activity or the value of goods and services produced in an economy within a country in a certain year.

The formula to calculate the GDP = C + I + G + ( X - M )

Where,

C is the consumptionI is the InvestmentG is the government spendingX is the value of exportsM is the calue of imports

Thus, GDP = 5000 + 1000 + 900 + ( 100 - 200)

B. the government involves itself in the economy.

C. trade is restricted.

D. jobs are protected from outsourcing.

E. consumers are encouraged to buy domestically produced goods

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option E: consumers are encouraged to buy domestically produced goods.

Explanation:

To begin with, in order to the economy to grow the country must encourage the consumers to buy more domestically produced goods so that the when the demand increases so does that income of the firms and that impacts in the demand that the companies do as well. Therefore that the country, and that is, the firms and the government, should encourage the increase of consumption from the buyers in order to intend to experience an economic growth.

Answer:

E. Consumers are encouraged to buy domestically produced goods.

Explanation:

When any economy is experiencing growth, the main driver of that is to make sure that the specialization occurs in producing quality goods and services and then trade is encouraged. But since, here we are talking about the already achieved economic growth by the US, now they are only encouraged to buys locally produced goods as now they have the capability and quality to produce the same goods they once imported from other countries.

Answers

Final answer:

Randy Inc.'s costs include variable costs like attachable keyboards and fixed costs like advertising and salaries. Total cost calculation requires adding both types of costs. Distinguishing between these is crucial for financial analysis.

Explanation:

Randy Inc. incurred a range of costs in May associated with the production and sale of tablets. These include both variable costs and fixed costs. Variable costs are those that change with the level of output, such as the cost of attachable keyboards and the miscellaneous soldering materials. Fixed costs, however, do not vary with the level of output and would include costs like advertising, insurance for delivery trucks, and salaries for the factory supervisor, marketing manager, and CEO.

To calculate the total cost, we would aggregate both fixed and variable costs. Here, considering the separation of costs is important to understand how they would impact the company's financials at different levels of production. For example, the assembly worker wages are a direct variable cost as they vary with the number of units produced, whereas the marketing manager's salary is a fixed cost as it does not change with the number of units produced.

Suppose Americans suddenly develop a strong taste for Canadian whiskey. What happens to the demand for Canadian dollars in the foreign exchange market? What happens to the value of Canadian dollars in the foreign exchange market? What about U.S. dollars? What happens to the quantity of net exports in Canada, other than whiskey, as a result of your answer in part b? What about the U.S.?

Answers

Answer:

A) If there is a sudden spike in the demand for Canadian Whiskey, the demand for Canadian Dollars will shoot upwards in the FX market.

B) When the demand for Canadian dollars does up in the FX market, the forces of demand and supply will force its price to increase in relation to the dollar.

C) If America is not exporting any commodity, or the number of Canadian goods imported into America is less than what it shipped out to them, then there is a trade deficit. Trade deficits if sustained can lead to a weaker currency.

D) Because the export demand for Canadian Whiskey has taken an upward spiral, the number of net exports in Canada will increase. When this happens, the currency is strengthened and so is the Canadian dollar. When the strength of a currency increases, it automatically gives more purchasing power to those holding that currency.

When compared to the U.S. with a consistently lowered net export, the dollar is likely to depreciate in value, thus eroding the spending or purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
