Answer:

a) a forward hedge is better

b) a forward rate of 1.06 will make both method equal

Explanation:

Solution:  (a)

<u><em>forward hedge:</em></u>

20,000,000 x 1.10 = $<em>22,000,000</em>

<u><em>money market hedge:</em></u>

PV of Air France payment:

€20,000,000/1.05  = €19,047,619

In dollars at spot rate

€19,047,619 x $1.05/€ = $20,000,000

Then we invest at 6% risk-free:

$20,000,000(1.06) = <em>$21,200,000</em>

(b)

Forward rate:

Spot exchange-rate x US rate/Foreing rate =

1.05 x 1.06 / 1.05 = <em>1.06</em>

Travis bought a share of stock for $31.50, the stock paid a dividend of $0.85, and Travis sold it six months later for $27.65. W
Luden [163]

Answer:

Dollar profit loss = $3

Holding period return = negative 9%

Explanation:

In order to find the dollar profit or loss return we will add the dividend and selling price because that the dividend plus the selling price is the cash that Travis receives or the positive cash and we will subtract the buying price from it because it is the negative cash flow. So we will add all the positive cash flows and subtract negative cash flow from it in order to find the dollar profit loss or return.

Selling price = 27.65

Dividend = 0.85

Selling price + Dividend= 28.5

Selling price = 31.50

Dollar profit loss or return = 28.50-31.5=-3

Loss= $3

In order to find the holding period return we will divide add the dividend and selling price , subtract buying price from it and then divide it by buying price.

(27.65+0.85-31.5)/31.5= -0.09 = -9%

Holding period return = negative 9%

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: c. preventing a market that would generate mutually beneficial trades.

Explanation:

Zooey could argue that the policy of lunch trades is preventing a market that would generate mutually beneficial trades because if people were allowed to trade what they want for what they have with people who have what the first person wants and wants what the first person has, that can be beneficial to both of them.

It is not unlike the system of batter trading that existed before money where people traded what they had for what they wanted.

One should be very careful here though because there are multiple disadvantages involved such as kids exchanging away more nutritious food and food poisoning.
