Answer:

d. Fall to $1.47

Explanation:

currently you will need $1,500 to purchase £1,000 and invest in British bonds. After 65 months you will have £1,040, which you should be able to convert into $1,544.40. If you invested in US bonds, you would have $1,530, so this arbitrage will yield $14.40.

But if instead the British pound fell to $1.47, then your profit would only be $28.80, less than if you invested in US bonds. You again would have £1,040 in 6 months, but that would only be equal to $1,528.80.

aev [14]

Answer:

a-1. The present value of Plan 1 = $93.08

a-2. The deal 2 which involves paying immediately adn taking the 10% discount is better.

Explanation:

a-1.

The interest rate of 5% is taken as the discount rate to convert future cash flows into the present value.

The First payment plan with installments has a present value of,

Present Value-Plan 1 = 25 + 25/1.05 + 25/1.05² + 25/1.05³ = $93.08

a-2.

The first plan will cost $93.08 in the present value.

The second plan will involve immediate payment and a discount of 10%vwhch makes the present value of plan 2 as $90 (100 - (100*0.1)).

Thus, the second deal or deal involving immediate payment and taking the discount is better.

A company recently issued 9% preferred stock. The preferred stock sold for $40 a share with a par of $20. The cost of issuing th
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The company's cost of preferred stock is 5.1%

Explanation:

In order to find the cost  of the preferred stock we will need to divide the dividend the company pays on it by the net amount that the company is receiving for selling it.

In order to find the dividend we will multiply 9% by the par value of 20

Dividend = 0.09*20=1.8

Now we need to find the net amount the company receives for selling the preferred stock.

The company sells the stock for $40 but also has a issuing cost of $5, so in order to find the net amount we will subtract the cost from the price.

40-5= 35

35 is the net amount the company receives.

Now we will divide the the dividend 1.8 by the net amount 35

1.8/35=0.051

=5.1%

The company's cost of preferred stock is 5.1%

Carl Sonntag wanted to compare what proceeds he would receive with a simple interest note versus a simple discount note. Both ha
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The proceeds from the simple discount note is $16380 , while that of simple interest is $19500

Explanation:

Simple discount notes could likened to a bank loan where interest on the loan is taken from the borrowed funds before disbursement to the loan's beneficiary,hence proceeds from such notes is face value of the notes less interest taken in advance.

While on the other hand,the proceeds from simple interest note is par or face value.

The discount or interest  is =8%*$19500=$1560 for one year,but $3120  for two years($1560*2)

The proceeds on the simple discount note =$19500-$3120

                                                                         =$16380

The proceeds on the simple interest note is face value of $19500

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $25. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1 next year, and your adviso
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

stock's Alpha = R - Rf - beta (Rm - Rf)

  • R represents the stock's return = $6/$25 = 24%
  • Rf = 6%
  • Beta = 1.3
  • Rm = 16%

Alpha = 0.24 - 0.06 - 1.3 (0.1) = 0.24 - 0.06 - 0.13 = 0.24 - 0.19 = 0.05 = 5%

A stock's Alpha is basically the excess return that the stock yields compared to an specific benchmark, e.g. S&P 500, Dow Jones.
