Suppose that instead of using a forward contract, you consider using options. A one-year call option to buy euros at a strike pr

ice of $1.25/€ is trading for $0.10/€. Similarly a one year put option to sell euros at a strike price of $1.25/€ is trading for $0.10/€. To hedge the risk of your profits, should you buy or sell the call or the put?

Answer:

Sell the put option. The put option is better and advantageous .

Explanation:

The call option is trading far below the strike price and poses risk. The price may not go up to $1.25 and hence not advisable. The put option is better as we stand to make a profit margin ($1.15 / Euro) if it sells the put at he strike price immediately. Given that the difference is high, it is unlikely that the price will move against us and we shall exercise the option as soon as the margin starts reducing.

Answer:

A. 3403.75 dollars

B. 3150

C. 0.579

D. Is an attachment

Explanation:

A. We first find the premium cost

= 0.05x5000 x 1+0.06/4

= 250x1.015

= 253.75

From here we find expected dollar cost

= Exchange rate x units + premium

= 0.63x5000+253.75

= 3,403.75 dollars

B. Forward rate = 0.63

Total cost of dollar

= 0.63x5000

= 3150

C. The investor would be indifferent at 0.579

Forward rate = unit * future + premium

3150 = 5000 * future + 253.75

3150-253.75 = 5000*future

We solve and divide through by 5000

Future = 0.579

D is in the attachment

Suppose the Fed decides to increase the money supply. It purchases a government bond worth $2,000 from Antonia, a private citize
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

(a) Trace the effect of this change through three banks- First National, Second Federal, and Third State.

Antonia deposits $2,000 in First National Bank.

Then First national Bank lends $1,600 to client X that uses the money to purchase something. The seller of that something deposits the money In Second Federal Bank.

Second Federal Bank then lends $1,280 to client Y that decides to use that money to pay his rent. Client Y's landlord then deposits the money in Third State Bank.

Third State Bank will then lend $1,024 to client Z...

(b) How much money will be generated in this banking system?

total money generated in the banking system = Antonia's deposit x money multiplier

money multiplier = 1 / required reserve rate = 1 / 0.2 = 5

so the total money generated = $2,000 x 5 = $10,000

Why was it sometimes difficult to balance a checking account to a statement?
Juliette [100K]
Because sometimes the check written after the statement closing dates.

Lets say a company do a closing statement on December 26.

 A check written between that date until the end of period ( December 26 - December 31), that transaction simply won't appear on the book because the company already closed the statement on December 26
