In the presentation we learned that "one exchange rate is the reciprocal of another exchange rate"

Fill in the following table by calculating the official unemployment rate and the U-4 measure of labor underutilization.

Alja [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the official unemployment rate is shown below:

Official unemployment rate is

= Unemployed workers ÷ (Unemployed + employed) × 100

= 13,863,000 ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000) × 100

= 9.05%

Now for the U-4 is

= (Unemployed workers + discouraged workers) ÷ (Unemployed + employed + discouraged workers) × 100

= (13,863,000 + $993,000) ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000 + $993,000) × 100

= 9.64%

Therefore for exclduing the discouraged workers it may cause the offical rate to understate the underemployment true extent

Jensen Co. expects to pay €50,000 in one month for its imports from France. It also expects to receive €200,000 for its exports

Julli [10]

Answer:

-$5,873

Explanation:

For computation of maximum one month loss in dollars first we need to find out the net exposure and maximum one month loss in percentage which is shown below:-

Net exposure = Received amount - Paid amount

= €200,000 - €50,000

= €150,000

Maximum one - month loss in Percentage = Next month percentage - (Alpha × Euro percentage)

= 2% - (1.96 × 2.5%)

= -2.9%

Maximum one - month loss in Dollars = Net exposure × Current spot rate of the euro × Maximum one - month loss in Percentage

= €150,000 × $1.35 × (-0.029)

= -$5,873

Evaluate this statement: "If the yield of two bonds having equal maturity changes the same amount, the price of the lower coupon

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

As the lower coupon means there is less amount of cash subject to variation of interest rate.

We must understand that in the end of the life of a bond(maturity), the value should always match the face value thus, the difference in bond market price arise from coupon payment.

If a bonds coupon payment is 40 dollars while another bond coupon payment is 80 dollars the present value of the second will be more influenced from the interest rate as there are more dollars in the future to discount.
