Assume that a currency's spot and future prices are the same, and the currency's interest rate is higher than the U.S. rate. The

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

put upward pressure on; put downward pressure on

The actions of U.S. investors to lock in this higher foreign return would PUT UPWARD PRESSURE ON the currency's spot rate and PUT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON the currency's futures price.

Explanation:

If both the spot and the forward price of a currency are the same, it means that it should be worth the same today than in the future. If you can earn higher interest by investing in that foreign currency, then investors will start purchasing higher amounts of the foreign in order to invest and gain higher rates.

Since the demand for the foreign currency increases, that put upward pressure its current price. Simply more investors will want to invest in that currency. While that happens right now, the market will tend to adjust to correct this arbitrage, and the way this can be adjusted is by lowering the future price of the currency. That puts downward pressure on the forward rate.

Dan, and Mike are brothers. They plan to begin savings plans when each is exactly 25. Each brother plans to save $6,000 per year

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1. How much will Dan have in his traditional IRA account at 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$500

B) Amount in account at age 67?

$2,813,492

C) Briefly explain the taxation on withdrawals from a Traditional IRA

IRA contributions are made before income taxes are paid, that is why Dan's monthly contributions are higher. The disadvantage is that Dan's plan will be taxed later.

2. How much will Mike have in his Roth IRA at age 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$375 until 59.5 years old, then $500

B) Amount in account at age 67

$2,072,879

c) Briefly explain the taxation on the withdrawals from a Roth IRA

Roth IRA contributions are made after income taxes are paid, that is why Mike's monthly contributions are lower. The advantage is that Mike's plan will not be taxed later.

3. If both brothers are expected to be taxed at a 20% tax rate in retirement, which retirement plan will have the best after tax results?

In this case, since the tax rate is higher while they are working (25%), than once they retire (20%), the traditional IRA account could make more sense except that since the time span is very long, your account will accumulate a lot of earned interest. The total principal invested into the traditional IRA account is $252,000 and the interest gained is $2,561,492 and that part will be taxed once you start withdrawing money. In order to determine which account would be better, you need to estimate how many years will Dan and Mike live after retiring, the longer they live the best option is the Roth IRA account.

Explanation:

the formula to determine the future value of an annuity is:

FV = P x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r

Dan's monthly contribution = $500

Mike's monthly contribution = $500 x (1 - 25%) = $375 until age 59.5, then $500

Dan's n = 42 years x 12 months = 504

r = 9% / 12 = 0.75%

Mike's n = 414 for $375 and 90 for $500

Dan's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁵⁰⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $2,813,492

Mike's FV = $375 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁴¹⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $1,052,612

then $1,052,612 x (1.09)⁷°⁵ = $2,008,940

Mike's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁹⁰ - 1] / 0.75% = $63,939

total = $2,008,940 + $63,939 = $2,072,879

lozanna [386]

Answer:

a. increase price in the short run but not in the long run.

Explanation:

The firms don't use resources that are available in limited quantities. So, as firm output increases, they can use resources in higher quantity but at the same price.

Therefore, as quantity demanded increases, the firms can supply higher quantity without any increase in resource cost. So, price increase in short run but not in the long term.
