Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
Answer:
The value of GDP is 75
Explanation:
GDP is equal to Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports (Exports minus Imports), where total Investment is equal to Fixed Investment plus the Change in Inventories.
The change in GDP will therefore equal the change in Consumption + the change in Investment + the change in Government Spending + the change in Net Exports, where the change in Investment will equal the change in Fixed Investment plus the change in the Change in Inventories.
= Government purchases of goods and services (10) + Consumption Expenditures (70
)+ Exports (5
) - Imports (12) + Change in Inventories (-7
) + Construction of new homes and apartments (15
) - Sales of existing homes and apartments (22
) + Government payments to retirees (17
) + Business Fixed Investment (9)
= 75

Answer:
Missing word <em>"a. What must the six-month risk-free rate be in Japan"</em>
<em />
a. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 1.2377 Aus.dollar
Forward rate = 1 US $ = 1.2356 Aus.dollar
<u>1.2356</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>
1.2377 (1 + 0.05)
0.9983 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad
1.048215 = 1 + i.Ad
i.Ad = 1.048215 - 1
i.Ad = 0.048215
i.Ad = 4.82%
b. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 100.3300 Japan Yen
Forward rate = 1 US $ = 100.0500 Japan Yen
<u>100.0500</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>
100.3300 (1 + 0.05)
0.9972 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad
1.04706 = 1 + i.Ad
i.Ad = 1.04706 - 1
i.Ad = 0.04706
i.Ad = 4.71%
Answer:
A) initial outlay = $150 million
Cash flow year 1 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28
Cash flow year 2 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28
Cash flow year 3 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28
Cash flow year 4 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 + ($25 x 60%) + $50 = $93
B) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$16.85 million
C) cash flow year 4 should increase by $24.667 million, meaning that the selling price must increase by $$24.667/0.6 = $41.11 million
minimum selling price $25 + $41.11 = $66.11 million
