alternatives remain equal.
7) The degree of operating leverage is 5 times then it implies that if sale increases by

18)Note: -
- Currency exchange rate in Nepal is expressed in direct quote system.
- If spot rate expressed in home currency is higher than the forward rate, the home
currency is said to be trading at a premium in a forward market.
- Upon comparison between spot rate and forward rate of two currencies, if one is
trading at premium than it implies that other is trading at discount in the forward
markets.
- Forward rate is at discount if the interest rate in the home country is higher than
in the foreign currency.
- Purchasing power parity postulates that the exchange rate adjusts to keep
purchasing power constant among the countries. According to this principle, a
commodity should costs the same regardless of the currency used to purchase
and the country where it is purchased.
