S&S Air Goes International
Mark Sexton and Todd Story, the owners of S&S Air, have been in discussions with a light aircraft dealer in Monaco about selling the company’s planes in Europe. Jarek Jachowicz, the dealer, wants to add S&S Air to his current retail line. Jarek has told Mark and Todd that he feels the retail sales will be approximately €5.3 million per month. All sales will be made in euros, and Jarek will retain 5 percent of retail sales as a commission, which will be paid in euros. Because the planes will be customized to order, the first sales will take place in one month. Jarek will pay S&S Air for the order 90 days after it is filled. This payment schedule will continue for the length of the contract between the two companies.
Mark and Todd are confident the company can handle the extra volume with its existing facilities, but they are unsure about the potential financial risks of selling their planes in Europe. In their discussion with Jarek, they found that the current exchange rate is $1.37/€. At the current exchange rate, the company would spend 80 percent of the sales on production costs. This number does not reflect the sales commission paid to Jarek.
Mark and Todd have decided to ask Chris Guthrie, the company’s financial analyst, to prepare an analysis of the proposed international sales. Specifically, they ask Chris to answer the following questions.
2. What happens to the company’s profits if the dollar strengthens? What if the dollar weakens?

Hans Brinker is assistant vice-president for marketing for Skagen Ice Skate Company (SIS). SIS does all of its own manufacturing in Denmark and then distributes worldwide through its sales office. World prices for foreign sales offices are set by the home office. Brinker is now setting the price list for all U.S. sales offices, and needs prices set for the coming year. The current spot rate is ?? = ???? $ = 5.6050, with a one-year forward rate of ?? = ???? $ = 5.5685. The one-year deposit rates for Danish krone and U.S. dollars are 1.5% and 1.35%, respectively. SIS’s best-selling professional figure skate, the Royal Silver Blade, is currently priced at $450 to U.S. retailers. Current inflation estimates for Denmark and the United States are both about 3%. SIS’s policy is to try to absorb about 50% of all exchange rate-induced price increases, but pass along 100% of all exchange rate price decreases if possible. The world skate business is competitive. Brinker phones you and explains…

Korean Airlines. Korean Airlines (KAL) has just signed a contract with Boeing to purchase two new 747-400’s for a total of $60,000,000, with payment in two equal tranches.
The first tranche of $30,000,000 has just been paid.
The next $30,000,000 is due three months from today.
KAL currently has excess cash of 25,000,000,000 won in a Seoul bank, and it is from these funds that KAL plans to make its next payment.
The current spot rate is W800/$, and permission has been obtained for a forward rate (90 days), W794/$.
The 90-day euro dollar interest rate is 6.000%, while the 90-day Korean won deposit rate (there is no euro won rate) is 5.000%.
KAL can borrow in Korea at 6.250%, and can probably borrow in the U.S. dollar market at 9.375%.
A three-month call option on dollars in the over the-counter market, for a strike price of W790/$ sells at a premium of 2.9%, payable at the time the option is purchased.
A 90-day put option on dollars, also at a strike price of W790/$, sells at a premium…

- Global Reach, Inc., is considering opening a new warehouse to serve the Southwest region. Darnell Moore, controller for Global Reach, has been reading about the advantages of foreign trade zones. He wonders if locating in one would be of benefit to his company, which imports about 90 percent of its merchandise (e.g., chess sets from the Philippines, jewelry from Thailand, pottery from Mexico, etc.). Darnell estimates that the new warehouse will store imported merchandise costing about 16.78 million per year. Inventory shrinkage at the warehouse (due to breakage and mishandling) is about 8 percent of the total. The average tariff rate on these imports is 5.5 percent. Required: 1. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in tariffs? Why? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) 2. Suppose that, on average, the merchandise stays in a Global Reach warehouse for nine months before shipment to retailers. Carrying cost for Global Reach is 6 percent per year. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Suppose that the shifting economic situation leads to a new tariff rate of 13 percent, and a new carrying cost of 6.5 percent per year. To combat these increases, Global Reach has instituted a total quality program emphasizing reducing shrinkage. The new shrinkage rate is 7 percent. Given this new information, if Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forwardThink back to the International Collections case in Assignment 5. Assume that the 60-day payment terms that you gave your buyer are typical, and that you will be required to carry up to $2,500,000.00 per month in accounts receivable for export sales. To be able to produce inventory for additional sales while while you carry 60 days of accounts receivable, you are going to need to find an outside source of additional export working capital. Discuss in detail two different options for financing export working capital to keep production going while you wait for payment from the last 60 days of sales.arrow_forwardYou SUckaroo CC. a ho(keyequipment business, estimates that it will sell 3 400 pairs of shin pads per year from a distributor in Spain.

The currency in the overseas country is Euro. Dell will be renting a premise of 50,000 Square feet for this facility. Annually the factory expects to sell 20,000 units of Keyboard at 3 euro per keyboard. Total capital cost is 20,000 euro and is depreciated using the straight-line method over five years to a zero-salvage value. The monthly salary expense will be 3000 euro, whereas annual utility and other expense will be 2,000 euro. The annual total rent is 5,000 euro. Variable costs are 10 per cent of annual sales revenue. Assume; initially, Dell will require 4,000 euro in working capital for this project. However, after the project, Dell will not receive anything from the working capital. Besides, there are no additional cash inflows and outflows from this project. The project does not have any tax implication. Calculate cash flows from the asset (CFFA) for this project.arrow_forward
