Answer:

$936.17

Explanation:

The current market price of the bond = present value of all coupon received + present value of face value on maturity date

The discount rate in all calculation is YTM (6.12%), and its semiannual rate is 3.06%

Coupon to received semiannual = 5.3%/2*$1000= $26.5

We can either calculate PV manually or use formula PV in excel to calculate present value:

<u>Manually:</u>

PV of  all coupon received semiannual = 26.5/(1+3.06)^1 + 26.5/(1+3.06)^2....+ 26.5/(1+3.06)^24 = $445.9

PV of of face value on maturity date = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27

<u>In excel:</u>

PV of  all coupon received semiannual =  PV(3.06%,24,-$26.5) = $445.9

PV of of face value on maturity date = PV(6.12%,12,-$1000) = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27

The current market price of the bond  = $445.9 + $490.27 = $936.17

Which of the following is true about multicollinearity?
Komok [63]

Answer:

d. It is best measured using the statistic variance inflation factor (VIF).

Explanation:

Multicollinearity is an important issue in multiple regression model, having many independent/ explanatory variables. Multicollinearity is the situation in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated. It is problematic because it increases the standard error of independent variable coefficient & undermines its statistical significance

Variance Inflation Factor [VIF] is a check & corrective measure of multicollinearity.  

  • VIF as a multicollinearity check : It quantifies the correlation between one explanatory variable with other explanatory variables.VIF = 1 implies there is no multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables); VIF upto 5  implies there is moderate multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables). VIF > 5 implies high multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables)
  • VIF as a multicollinearity correction : Calculating  Var (\beta j ) = σ^2 / [TSS j (1 - R^2j)] ; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 =  j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j

CIRP. Jason Smith is a foreign exchange trader with Citibank. He notices the following quotes. Spot exchange rate SFr1.6627/$ Si
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

A.

For six months, rSFr => 1.50% and r$ => 1.75%.

Since the exchange rate is in SFr/$ terms, the appropriate expression for the interest rate parity relation is

F/S => [ (1 +  rSFr ) / ( 1 + r$) ]

then we can also say

F/S *( 1 + r$) => (1 +  rSFr )

Now Left side => F/S *( 1 + r$) => [ ( 1 + 6.558) / ( + 1.6627) ] * (1 +0.0175)

Left side => 1.0133

and Right side =>  (1 +  rSFr ) => 1.0150

Since the left and right sides are not equal, IRP is not holding.

B and C.

Since IRP is not holding, there is an arbitrage possibility.

As 1.0133 < 1.0150,

we can say that the EuroSFr quote is more than what it should be as per the quotes for the other three variables. And, we can also say that the Euro$ quote is less than what it should be as per the quotes for the other three variables. Therefore, the arbitrage strategy should be based on borrowing in the Euro$ market and lending in the SFr market. The steps are as as follows. -

Borrow $1000000 for six-months at 3.5% per year and then we will pay back

=> $1000000 * (1 + 0.0175) => $1,017,500 six months later.

Convert $1000000 to SFr at the spot rate to get SFr 1662700.

Lend SFr 1662700 for six-months at 3% per year. Will get back

=> SFr1662700 * (1 + 0.0150) => SFr 1,687,641 six months later.

Sell SFr 1687641 six months forward. The transaction will be contracted as of the current date but delivery and settlement will only take place six months later. So, sixmonths later exchange

SFr 1,687,641 for => SFr 1687641 ⁄ SFr 1.6558/$ => $1,019,230.

The arbitrage profit six months later is 1019230 - 1017500 = $1,730

Use the following information to determine the break-even point in units (rounded to the nearest whole unit):
denis23 [38]

Answer:

29,771 units

Explanation:

The break-even indicates the number of units that you have to sell to cover your costs. The break-even point is calculated by using the formula:

Break-even point in units= Fixed costs/(selling price per unit-variable cost per unit)

Break-even point in units= $195,000/($14.95-$8.40)

Break-even point in units= $195,000/$6.55

Break-even point in units= 29,771 units

The break-even point in units is 29,771.
