Answer:
Correct answer is B.
Explanation:
B is correct. In the Strong-form efficient market hypothesis, all public and private information is reflected in prices and it is impossible for anyone to outperform the market. Only new information affects stock prices, but then, this new information is processed correctly and reflected in the price of an asset so fast before anyone can act on it. As a result, the price action becomes totally unpredictable and prices appear to move randomly.
Answer:
c. $8.63
Explanation:
Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually. A. $8.88
, B. $9.12
, C. $8.63
, D. $9.02"</em>
Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum
The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.
Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)
= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000
= $10
Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period
= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)
= $8.6261
= $8.63
Answer:
a-1) Pv = 52549
a-2) Pv = 56822
b-1) Fv = 77570
b-2 Fv = 83878
Explanation:
b-1) Future value:
S= Sum of amount of annuity=?
n=number of fixed periods=5 years
R=Fixed regular payments=13200
i=Compound interest rate= .081 (suppose annualy)
we know that ordinary annuity:
S= R [(1+i)∧n-1)]/i
= 13200[(1+.081)∧5-1]/.081
=13200(1.476-1)/.081
= 13200 * 5.8765
S = 77570
a.1)Present value of ordinary annuity:
Formula: Present value = C* [(1-(1+i)∧-n)]/i
=13200 * [(1-(1+.081)∧-5]/.081
=13200 * (1-.6774)/.081
=13200 * (.3225/.081)
=52549
a.2)Present value of ordinary Due:
Formula : Present value = C * [(1-(1+i)∧-n)]/i * (1+i)
= 13200 * [(1- (1+.081)∧-5)/.081 * (1+.081)
= 13200 * 3.9822 * 1.081
= 56822
b-2) Future value=?
we know that: S= R [(1+i)∧n+1)-1]/i ] -R
= 13200[ [ (1+.081)∧ 5+1 ]-1/.081] - 13200
= 13200 (.5957/.081) -13200
= (13200 * 7.3544)-13200
= 97078 - 13200
= 83878
Answer:
Marketing and distribution of a variety of products
