Assume a U. S.-based MNC is borrowing Romanian leu (ROL) at an interest rate of 8% for one year. Also assume that the spot rate of the leu is $.00012 and the one-year forward rate of the leu is $.00010. The expected spot rate of the leu one-year from now is $.00011.What is the effective financing rate for the MNC assuming it borrows leu on an uncovered basis?

a) 10%
b) –10%
c) –1%
d) 1%
e)None of the above

c. -1

Explanation:

Base on the scenario been described in the question, we can use the following method to solve the given problem

Solution:

Depreciation of leu: .00010/.00011 – 1

Depreciation of leu = -9.09%

Effective financing rate: (1.08) x [1 + (-9.09%)] – 1 = -1.82%.28.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
