Push system.

Suppose you hold a particular investment for 7 months. You calculate that your holding period return is 8.4 percent. What is you
Leni [432]

Answer:

The annualized return is 14.82%

Explanation:

The formula for annualized return is given as Annualized return = (1+ holding return)12/n - 1

Holding return is 8.4%

n is the holding period of 7 months

Annualized return =(1+0.084)^(12/7)-1

Annualized return =14.82%

It is wrong to simply calculate annualized return as 8,4%*12/7,which means one is taking the interest to annual interest by proportional method,as this gives 14.40%, in investment every basis point counts.

The difference between the two figures is 0.42% which could translate into millions depending on the amount invested as well as the duration of investment

Suppose the current exchange rate for the Polish zloty is Z 2.92. The expected exchange rate in three years is Z 3.00. What is t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The answer is 91% or Supposed to be 0.00905

Explanation:

We can use the relative purchasing power parity equation:

Ft = S0 × [1 + (hFC – hUS)]t

We can find:

Z 3.00 =Z 2.92 [1 + (hFC – hUS)]3    

hFC – hUS = (Z 3.00/Z 2.92)1/3 – 1

hFC – hUS = .00905

The Inflation in Poland is expected to exceed that in the U.S. by 91% over this period.
