Suppose that the annual interest rate is 2.0 percent in the United States and 4 percent in Germany, and that the spot exchange r

ate is $1.60/€ and the forward exchange rate, with one-year maturity, is $1.58/€. Assume that an arbitrager can borrow up to $1,000,000 or €625,000. If an astute trader finds an arbitrage, what is the net cash flow in one year?

Answer:

$7,000

Explanation:

Using the covered interest rate parity formula

No Arbitrage Forward rate = Spot Rate * (1 + RD)/ (1 + RF)

          = 1.6 * (1 + 2%)/ (1 + 4%) = 1.6 * 1.02 / 1.04 = $1.57 approximately

However, the actual forward rate = $1.58/€

Hence, there is an arbitrage opportunity.

Suppose an arbitrager borrows 1,000,000 in the United States at 2%.

Thus, after one year, he has to pay back 1,000,000 * (1 + 2%) = $1,020,000

He converts 1,000,000 into Euros at the spot exchage rate of $1.60/€.

Thus he gets 1,000,000/1.6 = €625,000

The arbitrager now invests this money in Germany at 4%.

At the same time, he enters into a forward contract to convert the money that he will get at the end of 1 year into US Dollars at a forward rate of $1.58/€

After 1 year, he gets 625,000 * (1 + 4%) = €650,000

He converts this money into USD at the exchange rate of $1.58/€ (at which he entered the forward contract)

Thus he gets 650,000 * 1.58 = $1,027,000

Amount he has to pay back = $1,000,000 * (1 + 2%) = $1,020,000

Net cash flow for the year through this arbitrage = $1,027,000 - $1,020,000 = $7,000

Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is a. increasing at an increasing rate. b. increasing at a decreasing rate. c. increasing at a c
Rufina [12.5K]

The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

The number of employees in a company is reduced in the ratio 3 : 2 and the salary of each employee is increased in the ratio 4 :
Doss [256]

Answer:

The initial expenditure of the company on salary is Rs. 72.000

Explanation:

First we need to express the employees ratio in letter

3A=B

2C=D

A and C being the amount of employees

B the salary before, D the salary after

They say the salary after is the slary before minus Rs. 12.000

we can express this as D=B-12.000

We know to that the salary of each employee increased 4 to 5

Then C=(5/4)A or A=(4/5)C

We can have the following equation

2((5/4)A)=B-12.000

A=(2/5)(B-12.000)

we use this in the first expression

3(2/5)(B-12.000)=B

1,2B-14400=B

0,2B=14400

B=72.000

4. The E. Harris Company issued bonds in September of 2003. When issued, the bonds had 20 years to maturity, a coupon rate of 7.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

6%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity. It is the long term return of the bond which is expressed in annual term.

Face value = F = $1,000

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 7.5% = $75

Selling price = P = $1110.40

Number of payment = n = 10 years

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $75 + ( $1,000 - $1,110.4 ) / 10 ] / [ ( $1,000 + $1,110.4 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $75 - 11.04 ] / $1,055.2

Yield to maturity = $63.96 / $1,055.2

Yield to maturity = 0.0606 = 6.06%

Rounded off to whole percentage 6%
