Barcelona Machine Tools. Oriol D'ez Miguel S.R.L., a manufacturer of heavy-duty machine tools near Barcelona, ships an order to a buyer in Jordan. The
purchase price is €430,000. Jordan imposes a 14% import duty on all products purchased from the European Union. The Jordanian importer then reexports the
product to a Saudi Arabian importer, but only after imposing its own resale fee of 28%. Given the following spot exchange rates on April 11, 2010,, what is the
total cost to the Saudi Arabian importer in Saudi Arabian riyal, and what is the U.S. dollar equivalent of that price?
The spot rate, Saudi Arabian riyal per Jordanian dinar is SRI JD. (Round to five decimal places.)
Chunnel Choices. The Channel Tunnel or "Chunnel" passes underneath the English Channel between Great Britain and France, a land-link between the Continent
and the British Isles. One side is therefore an economy of British pounds (GBP), the other euros (EUR). If you were to check the Chunnel's rail ticket Internet rates you
would find that they would be denominated in U.S. dollars (USD). For example, a first class round trip fare for a single adult from London to Paris via the Chunnel
through Rail Europe may cost USD175.00. This currency neutrality, however, means that customers on both ends of the Chunnel pay differing rates in their home
currencies from day to day. What is the British pound and euro-denominated prices for the USD175.00 round trip fare in local currency if purchased on the following
dates at the accompanying spot rates drawn from the Financial Times, ?
Calculate the round trip Rail Europe train fare in £ and € below: (Round to two decimal places.)
