Solution:
Given ,
1 Year interest rates in Europe = 4 %
1 Year interest rates in the U.S. = 2 %
You are translating $200,000 and spending $200,000 in French
Current spot rate of the euro = $1.20
a. (2%-4%)/(1+4%)=(S - 1.20) / 1.20
S= $1.1769 one year Euro rate
b. ( $1 / 1.20 )( 1 + 4% )* 1.12 = $.9707 return of -2.93% (loss)
c. ( $1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%)* 1.31 = $1.1353 return of 13.53% (gain)
d . ($1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%) *S = $1 (1+2%) ;
S=$1.1769
A spot rate of over $1.17697 (this is the same in part A) would be effective.
Answer:
I would have to say A. Yes
Explanation:
If they have a stronger dollar that doesn't drop in value quickly then they can keep on accepting that currency reliably.
Answer:
$936.17
Explanation:
The current market price of the bond = present value of all coupon received + present value of face value on maturity date
The discount rate in all calculation is YTM (6.12%), and its semiannual rate is 3.06%
Coupon to received semiannual = 5.3%/2*$1000= $26.5
We can either calculate PV manually or use formula PV in excel to calculate present value:
<u>Manually:</u>
PV of all coupon received semiannual = 26.5/(1+3.06)^1 + 26.5/(1+3.06)^2....+ 26.5/(1+3.06)^24 = $445.9
PV of of face value on maturity date = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27
<u>In excel:</u>
PV of all coupon received semiannual = PV(3.06%,24,-$26.5) = $445.9
PV of of face value on maturity date = PV(6.12%,12,-$1000) = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27
The current market price of the bond = $445.9 + $490.27 = $936.17
Please excel calculation attached
