Take a BMW M3 sedan for example (it's quite difficult to find cars with the same engine and trim level). The same car is sold in both countries. In the USA it's $55,400, in the UK it's £50,960. At the current exchange rate of $1.50=£1 that makes the UK price equal to $76,440. Not even differences in taxes seem to be enough to make up for a $21,000 difference. UK VAT (sales tax) is 17.5% so the before tax price in dollars would be $65,055, still a lot more. There aren't any other taxes that i'm aware of. And i dont think exchange rates are to blame, in recent years the exchange rate has ranged from around $1.45 to $2 so currently the dollar is pretty weak. The cars are made in Germany so imported into both countries, there aren't any import taxes. So why the big difference? It seems the same across pretty much every cars, a base Prius is £19,504. Maybe there are some differences in specification or warranty that im unaware of? Surely that can't explain such a big difference on it's possess though? Looking at other countries, the USA seems cheaper than Australia as well, but I think thats due to Australian import taxes. I think Euro prices seemed a bit expensive compared to the US as well. To vipassana, that only applies to things that aren't internationally traded i.e. you can't order you McDonalds from China because it's cheaper there - it would go off before it got to you and the transport cost would make it not worth it anyway. And most of the cost of the burger is made up of the local costs of running the restaurant - staff wages, renting/buying the site etc. This applies to things like haircuts, hotels, dining out etc. However, take something like oil - there is a world price, a barrel of oil trades at the same price wherever you are. With a car like this, they're made abroad and shipped in. The vast majority of the costs is already accounted for, everything except the dealer's margin. Hence production costs are pretty similar. Also the car has to be sold at a profit in both markets and compete with other similar cars, so the company will set a price to maximise its profits in the two markets. Why should these prices be as different as over. And Hockey, fuel prices are lower in the USA because of TAX!

I am going to Jamaica in a week and I need to exchange about $400 of US currency to Jamaican Dollars. Where is the best place to exchange it with paying the least amount of fees to do so? I am from Massachusetts if this helps at every and flying out of Boston MA.

The Canadian demand for the US dollar is downward sloping and the supply of the US dollar to Canadians is upward sloping. Assuming a system of flexible exchange rates between the US and Canada, explain how each of the following would affect the market value of the US dollar. i) Canada experiences severe deflation. ii) The US engages in an expansionary monetary policy. iii) The rate of productivity growth in the US rises sharply. Thanks so much in advance for any help!

So heres the story: About 1 year ago today , i got into a car accident. I was stopped at a red light and i was looking down at my IPod and changing songs, I saw the green light out of the corner of my eye and I eased off the break. As I did i didn't notice the car in front of me not moving and I hit them going 1 mile a hour. We pulled off into a parking lot by 7/1l, and the daughter and mom in the accident went to go receive coffees in 7/11 and the dad and me both exchanged information, I also called my mom and she was there in a matter of 10 minutes, I was 17 at the time. The insurance company have been trying to cease the family from sueing me , but apparently it has arrive to the point where the family wants to sue me personally for internal injuries. So far apparently medical bills for the family is 10 grand per each family member in the accident so 30 grand total. They told my insurance company that they had back injuries and bad neck injuries. Now i'm kinda freaking out but I have a high chance I'm going to win the damage isn't close enough to cause injuries that high in medical bills, from the damage we spent 80 dollars to fix our plastic bumper on the Toyota Hybrid and 800$ to knock out the dent in their bumper. The other family has a lawyer that keep bring up stuff to make me look like the bad guy like hes a really good lawyer, so idk what to do. Any answers? help? suggestions?

Example, let's say the dollar to Euro is 1.35, or, for every euro that I trade in to the bank, I receive $1.35 (don't start about bank commission and every that stuff). But, what I don't receive is how this affects the average German or Italian or Spaniard or Dutsch, etc. If these people Go to a store and buy bread, and the bread costd 2 Euros, they will still pay 2 Euros, even if the dollar to euro rate goes up or down.....from, example, dollar/euro=1.50 or=1.35. Am I wrong? Everytime I look at the stocks on t.v. (bloomberg news, etc) I keep thinking that these country exchange rates only affect the big banks, companies, billionairs, millionaires, and every investors...etc....yes, it can affect many people who pay or play the stocks on a tiny range, etc. And yes, it can affect families who have invested a lot of their money in stocs, only to lose, depending on the raily rates, NASDAQ, etc..Dow or S&P 500, or whatever. But still, for the aveage person going to a store, are they affected by what they buy? Maybe as I write this question(s) I am beginning to look the answers. If a German goes to b uy gas..and the euro/dollar rate goes down......I guess this person pays more at the pump? anyway, lost here.....

I'm planning to travel to the US for a holiday towards end of the year. It would be handy to be able to open an American bank account now, transfer Australian dollars while the exchange rate is favourable and then have that money sitting in an American account waiting for me when I receive there! Maybe even earning some interest... ? Is this possible or too good to be true?

I met someone on-line from a dating site who states he lives in Houston Texas. Trust me I thought that he was a nice guy when we first started communicating and also a Christian guy. We exchange phone numbers and pictures. We started talking frequently with each other. He went to do business overseas in Africa because he told me that he worked for HP and he bought computers wholesale from HP and he was selling them in the market in Africa. He also stated that he was going to look his family. I wanted to be in a trusting relationship with him and I thought that he was a person who I could trust. He said he had not seen his family in five years and he would only be in Africa for a short time do his business and return to the states. So I had a soft spot for him because he had not seen his mom in five years and thought that he was legitimate. The next thing i know he started calling me and texting me to send him money. It started off him asking me for 200 dollars for his nephew who was in college who needed to pay a fee. I told him that I did not have 200 dollars to send. He started to make me feel guilty that he needed my help and that I was making him look dishonored by his family. So I sent 50 dollars western union which cost 60.00. He told me that he was going to pay me back and that we were going to be in a long term relationship and to receive married in the future. Then he told me that he needed 950 dollars to clear his computer goods with customs that he shipped over there. I was concerned about what he was doing over there and I told him that I did not have 950 dollars to send him. I was also concerned that what he was doing was legal and I told him that I wish he was not doing anything illegal because i did not want to receive involved with anything illegal. He assured me that what he was doing illegal and that he was going to pay it back to make a long story short I ended up sending him 500 dollars which i had to borrow, 200 dollars and another 400 dollars. Now he is acting silly and do not want to talk to me like he did before. He stated he wanted to arrive and live with me when he return to the states and now i think that it is every a scam. I want to know what are my options that i have. I thought that we were going to be a couple and that he was going to follow through.

A foreign exchange trader in Paris normally provides quotes for 1, 3, and 6 month forward rates. When you ask over the telephone for current quotations for the French Frank against the US Dollar, the trader replies, "6.4586 to 672, 65 to 98, 220 to 350, 430 to 561." A) Calculate the every outright quotes for the spot and forward rate.

Hi! I saved a bunch of money (over 300 so this isn't just like 50$) I made in my job via tips and now was wondering where I can exhange them into twenties? mind you I am below 18 and don't have a bank account. Can I still go to a bank anyway and ask them to exchange my bills (May I go to any bank for the matter)? If not, where else can I go? It is going to be a hassle for them to exchange 300$ worth into twenties so I want to make sure I go soemwhere that will allow me to. Thanks!

I'm going to South Korea for vacation in May. From experience in my previous trips to Hong Kong and China, I'm better of not changing my Philippine Peso to Dollar before my trip because it's better to exchange my Peso to HKD or RMB when I receive there in the airport forex change. Any suggestions for Korea?

Right now, I have $17.11 in loose change. I was wondering if I should exchange them for cash but receive 9.8 cents deducted for every dollar or receive a gift card. These are the gift cards available: http://www.coinstar.com/us/WebDocs/A1-0-3-1#overstock Albertsons, Cabela's, Eddie Bauer, and Rixty is definitely out because I've never heard of them ^-^ what do you think I should do with it? are*** instead of is. I apologize for my stupid grammar mistake.

I think they deserve to be spit on. I got into a car accident about 6 months ago. I was making a left turn and a hill was blocking oncoming traffic, making it difficult to look if I need to yield to anyone. I couldn't look and we had a head on collision. The cop who showed up (and of course was not there to look the accident) claim s that through his assessment, I did not yield on purpose (as if I did not yield on purpose). To make matters worse, I was on my way to my fathers wake and when the the police officer spoke to me I mentioned that. So he he gives me a ticket for $123? What a frigging douche bag! I wish that he gets cancer of his scrotum. If I could receive him fired and have him jobless and starving on the road for 20 years (not saying that I can, but it feels so good to say this) just so I can keep $123 dollars from my precious pocket, I think it's a pretty dam even exchange and worth having him suffer. I'll send the check after wipe my you know what with it. And believe me I will! Um...I have bad news for every of you. When your home does receive robbed or your car broken into, the cops arrive and take a report. Never ever will they help you. They don't believe in helping you. Don't be so foolish. And I'm not saying every cops, I' saying 90%.

I am new to traveling outside of the U.S. and want to fly to switzerland to look the sonisphere concert. How would i go about trading in my U.S. dollars for the swiss franc? Where would I go to make this exchange?

I am moving from the U.S. to Italy in a month and am trying to figure out the cheapest way to take around $9000 with me. I would like to exchange dollars to euro while the market is good but I don't think carrying that much euro around is a wise thing to do. I DO NOT have a bank account in Italy nor do I know anyone who currently has one, so wires aren't really an option. I have tried cashiers checks in the past and that was a really bad idea (it was difficult finding a back to cash them and when they did the fees and exchange rate were a joke). Does anyone know of some other options?? Educated replies very much appreciated!!! THANKS!

The current yen - dollar exchange rate is ¥89 to $1. Further, the current dollar - pound exchange rate is $1.52 to 1₤. Based upon this information, what must be the yen – pound exchange rate? What would happen if the actual yen – pound exchange rate did not equal this value? Explain.

okay. you guys have saved me thousands of dollars in therapy, so here goes. i just got out of a horrible six-year relationship with a guy who started makiing 100k per year for a woma he'd known for 12 weeks who forgot to tell him she is married with a kid. anyway, so now i'm single and have been serioulsy horrified of dating. but i went out for ladies night on wed and i saw this awesome hot guy when he went over to the bar. anyway, i'm just sitting around people watching, and i feel someone standing behind me, and it's him! yay! hi, he says. so we wound up dancing and hanging out and having a great time. so we exchanged numbers and he texted that same night and everyday back and forth for three days. he asks me out, and we go have a great dinner at an awesme restaurant and we literally close the place down, laughing and drinking cape cods. so we go back to my car and we kiss and he sends me a text afterward saying he had never felt lips like mine and that he got butterflies for the first time in years. he sends another text saying that he is crazy attracted to me but is a little intimidated but wants to go out to a concert on friday night. that would be aweome! but i looked on his fb page and it seems as though he parties a lot. he says he doesn't drink very much, but he is doing beer bongs and is stacked up with wrist bands that say he can drink. he is so mannerable and says such sweet things, but i'm really nice of put off by the pics, but he is super-cute. he is nice and never disrepectful, but i have had my heart stepped on my a few white guys, so should i keep going out with him to look what happens or just clip it off and be glad he didn't hurt my feelings!!! bring on the answers! i'm ready.

1) Given that the exchange rate fromUS dollars to french francs is given by 1USD=7.5FFR and a 2% commision is charged on each transaction, find the amount of FFR you would receive with 250 USD. 2) Calculate the monthly repayments on a loan of $6800 at 8.5% per annum simple interest over 2.5 years. For the first problem I did: 2% of 250= 5 so 250+5= 255 USD For the second problem: the formulaa for simple interest is I = P x r x t/100 where I = Simple Interest P= principal r= rate t=time 6800x8.5x2.5/100=1445 so interest=1445 but then how do i find the monthly repayments?

What would you do? Let's say that for some reason you took a $10K cash advance on a low-interest credit card and had the money sitting in the bank. You have some plans for it in the future, but those plans aren't completely defined yet, so the money is in big part still disecretionary. There's an earthquake in Haiti, and you want to help the relief effort by donating $1,000 to the Red Cross. What do you do? Do you call up your credit card company and ask for an increase in your limit, or do you take some of the money you've already got and use that? Do you split the money between the bank account and current income? What's prudent? This is the situation that Jim Bunning has been protesting. Most of the stimulus money remains unspent. There is $97 Billion in a discretionary fund, unallocated dollars for future use. The purpose of the Stimulus package, at least in part, was to provide for emergency extension of unemployment benefits. every Bunning was asking for was that the government allocate CURRENT funds for this unemployment extension, instead of increasing the deficit by another $10 billion. Maybe someone can explain to me why Bunning is the bad guy here. What about the relax of the Senate, who for some reason, in the midst of spectacular debt, would not consider this modest pullback on increasing our debt? Taking $10 billion out of a $97 billiion reserve can't be that difficult, can it? Can anyone explain what that money is marked for, and why it cannot be touched for this extension? Two weeks ago, Obama signed into law "Pay As You Go" legislation - i.e., "If you spend a dollar, you have to clip it elsewhere",then proceeded to waive it for two pieces of legislation. Bunning's big crime is that he believed that to be true, and pressed the point. What do you think? At what point do you look at the massive debt this country is in, the obligations we owe to Red China, the leverage that country has against us, the specter of the reduction of the quality of our debt on the world market and say, "enough is enough!"? To me, it does not seem so unreasonable to take money that was originally earmarked for emergency extension of unemployment benefits, and actually use it for emergency unemployment benefits. Lord knows, that even if they cannot figure out a way to use that $97 billion, they can certainly clip places like Pelosi's $100,000 airline liquor bill, or the $300 million paid to Louisiana in exchange for a vote on healthcare, or any of several dozen pork projects offered to compliant Senators to help in their re-election. In the grand scheme of the US budget, $10 billion is not so much money to find.

Thank you former democratically elected marxist president Salvador Allende(who was removed from office in a bloody US-sponsored coup):. If there were a heaven, I'm sure you'd be in it: The Chilean Seismic Code is relatively old [3], its first version was approved in 1972. It has been updated twice (1993 and 1996), but maintains the chilean practice of the use of adequate shear walls density based design, which has always produced satisfactory results. http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=1289347 The building codes were not updated during right-wing dictator Pinochet's reign from '74 to '90. It's also interesting how much Pinochet loved the free-market: Pinochet, with the help of 400 CIA advisers, privatized the social and welfare system and destroyed the Chilean trade union movement. As Malcolm Coad pointed out: "This was achieved through wholesale privatisation, a complete opening to the international economy, fixing the exchange rate artificially low, and pumping in foreign loans during the petro-dollar glut of the tardy 1970s. The result was the destruction of national industry and much of agriculture, then close-collapse in the early 1980s amid a frenzy of speculation, consumer imports and debt crisis. The state bailed out most of the country's banking sector and unemployment rose to an official level of over 30 per cent." But I digress. Building codes are government regulation! A more free market friendly approach would have been building codes like those in Haiti. The CIA had very close ties to Pinochet: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20000919/index.html http://foia.state.gov/Reports/HincheyReport.asp#9 https://www.cia.gov/library/reports/general-reports-1/chile/index.html#9

I'm traveling to Ireland soon and have some money that I was hoping to convert to Euros at a bank in Dublin. I recently read that many banks will not accept US 100 dollar bills due to the high number of forgeries in circulation in Ireland. Is this true? Will most banks not accept these bills? I found this info on the US Embassy site: http://dublin.usembassy.gov/service/financial-services/exchange-100-bills-in-ireland.html It says these places may exchange the bills: Thomas Cook Overseas Ltd., JWT Foreign Exchange,and Currency Exchange Bank of Ireland. Are these the only places and are they likely to cash my bills? every of mine are issued after 2001 and most are 2006 series bills. Thanks.

WASHINGTON (AP) Supreme Court justices appeared reluctant Tuesday to allow the family of an illegal immigrant to sue U.S. government doctors personally for claims of shockingly needy medical care. The federal government has admitted negligence in doctors' needy treatment of Francisco Castaneda, 36, a native of El Salvador who died after his untreated penile cancer spread to the relax of his body. But the government's attorneys insist the doctors are immune from personal liability. A U.S. District Court in California and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. At the high court, however, Conal Doyle, an attorney for Castaneda's survivors, seemed unable to convince the justices that the doctors are not protected from personal damage suits if they violated Castaneda's constitutional rights. Justice Stephen Breyer expressed skepticism about parts of Doyle's arguments. In cases like Castaneda's, Congress decided suing the federal government is the exclusive remedy, he said. "That's the problem for you in this case," Breyer said. Attorneys for the doctors and the federal government said Congress in a 1970 law gave immunity to Public Health Service doctors who treat immigrants in detention. below that law, Castaneda's survivors can only sue the federal government, below the Federal Tort Claims Act, which bars jury trials and punitive damages and limits economic damages to those allowed below state law. If they sued in California, Castaneda's wife and daughter could be limited to about $250,000 in damages. A lawsuit against the doctors personally would not be so restricted. "This is not a case where there is no other relief," said Justice Samuel Alito. Doyle insisted subsequent laws have curtailed some of the immunity given the government doctors. But Justice Anthony Kennedy said immunity clauses are intended to make employees secure against both foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. "If we limit it (the immunity), then Congress would have to re-enact a statute every time there was some new cause of action?" Kennedy asked Elaine Goldenberg, the doctors' attorney. The gruesome details of Castaneda's needy treatment, which the district court described as "conduct that transcends negligence by miles," were not discussed by the high court. According to his attorneys, Castaneda was never given a biopsy to diagnose the lesions on his penis that bled and festered. He was treated with ibuprofen, antihistamines and antibiotics and was given extra boxer shorts while in detention. His penis later was amputated but by then the cancer had spread and he died. http://www2.wjtv.com/jtv/ap_exchange/special_-_medical/article/UsHighCourtWaryOfDetaineeMedicalCareSuitUs/109125/ How arrive these same illegals are not in Mexico filing any lawsuits over the state of affairs of the country ?

I'll be traveling is to Israel this summer from the US, and I don't know everything I'd like to about the exchange rate. Is the dollar stronger or weaker than the shekel? For instance, right now $1 is 3.7852 shekels, but I don't know what that means, because I know currency doesn't have 1:1 conversion ratios. (For example, $1 is not the same as 1 yen) Can anyone shed light on this? At what ratio would the dollar be stronger that the shekel? Thanks for any help.

I live in Florida and am interested in a home warranty plan. I anticipate that the AC system may need to be replaced because it has gone out before. They said that it was a slow leak in the exchange pipes for the freon between the condenser outside, and the air handler inside. I am curious if this is just a BS answer from a shotty repairman in an effort to receive me to replace the system, or if I should seriously consider a home warranty to cover possible upcoming repair costs and possible need to replace the system itself. The repairman said that the leak was occurring somewhere within the foundation where the pipes are inaccessible (solid concrete) and thus result in needing to fill the pipes about 2-3 months in order to keep the AC functional and the heat working. I live in Florida and am mainly concerned with a plan that covers my AC unit. If possible, a plan that provides coverage immediately in case I need it, and preferably one that would offer a high replacement dollar amount on replacing the air handler and/or compressor. I have had one pal that says that the Home Warranty will do anything they can to snake out of repairing or replacing the system. Is it even worth the $300-800 that it would cost for the HW? I don't have a pool, and I am on a tiny co-op utility company that doesn't offer rebates. I understand there are rebates from the govt through a certain period of time this year, but wasn't sure if it's worth pursuing the replacement of the system vs trying to replacing the copper tubing that runs through the slab. The airhandler is approx 11 years old, is a 1.5 ton unit and the condensor was replaced at the same time (not sure of the specifics on it). wish this helps.
