Cheryl wants to have $2,000 in
spending money to take on a
trip to Disney World in three
years. How much must she
deposit now in a savings
account that pays 5% to have
the money she needs in three
years?

Answer:

$1, 727.68

Explanation:

Cheryl wants to have $2000 three years from now in an account that pays 5%

The $2000 is equivalent to the Future value when applying the compound interest formula. The present value is the amount she needs to invest now.

Fv= PV (1+5/100)^3

$2000 = PV(1+0.05)^3

$2000 =Pv 1.157625

Pv = $2000/1.157625

Pv= 1,727.68

Cheryl has to invest $1, 727.68

A U.S. government agency located in Kuwait bought 29 standby power generators (including installation) from a trading company in Kuwait. The contract was effectively written in USD for $1,588,000 (worth 447,180.80 KWD) since the exchange rate of .2816 was fixed in the contract. The performance period was 90 days; however, the buyer expected complications such as material availability and security access passes from the host nation to delay contract performance. See attached excerpt from the contract. Assume payment terms were Net 30. Assume the Kuwaiti Dinar is a floating currency.

From the buyer’s perspective, which currency should the contract have been written in had the exchange rate not been fixed in the contract? ______ What would be the financial advantage (expressed in USD) of doing so? _______
