Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

A) 10.82%

B) 5.27%

C) 8.56%

Explanation:

Given data :

North Bank Borrow ; $1.4 million at 5 percent

Lend in pounds at 9%

spread = ( 4% )

spot rate = 1.454

A) Determine the loan rate to maintain the 4 percent spread

Expected spot rate = 1.43

First step :

Lending amount = $1.4 million / initial spot rate = 1.4 / 1.454 = £ 0.9628 million

calculate the final amount Required in $ to maintain 4% Spread

= principal ( $1.4 million ) + interest ( 9% of 1.4 ) = 1.4 + 0.126 = $1.526 million

In pound ( at the expected spot rate )

= 1.526 / 1.43 = £1.067 million

expected profit = £1.067 - £0.9628 = £ 0.1042 million

Therefore the interest rate tp maintain the 4 percent spread

= 0.1042 / 0.9628 = 10.82%

B) Determine the net interest margin if the bank hedges its forward foreign exchange exposure

Forward rate = 1.46

assuming interest as value calculated above = ( 10.82% )

lending amount = £0.9628 million

Repayment = 0.9628 * 111% * 1.46 = $1.5603 million

therefore return rate = $1.5603 - $1.4 = $0.1603 million = 10.27%

hence : Net interest margin = 10.27% - 5% = 5.27%

C) Determine the loan rate to maintain the 4 percent spread if the bank intends to hedge its exposure using the forward rates.

Forward Hedging contract forward rate = 1.46

lending amount = $1.4 / 1.454 = £ 0.9628 million

Total Interest and Principal Repayment Required in $ to maintain 4% Spread = $1.526 million

In pound = 1.526 / 1.46 = £ 1.0452

Interest = £1.0452 - £0.9628 = £0.0824 million

therefore interest Rate to maintain 4℅ Spread

= ( 0.0824 / 0.9628 ) * 100 = 8.56%

Difference 4,000   4,000

The difference of $4,000 in net profit is as a result of $4,000 difference in closing inventory.

Explanation:

In marginal costing, variable costs are deducted from sales in order to obtain the contribution margin. Net profit is calculated by deducting fixed costs from the contribution margin. Closing stock is valued at marginal cost per unit in marginal costing. Closing stock is the difference between production units and sales units. Marginal cost is the sum total of all variable costs.

In absorption costing, full costs are deducted from sales in order to obtain the gross profit. Net profit is the difference between gross profit and selling and administrative expenses. Closing stock is valued at full cost in absorption costing. Full cost is the aggregate of variable costs per unit and fixed costs per unit.
