Today the current EUR to USD exchange rate is 1 EURO = 1.19 USD. According to the Bloomberg consensus estimate, the EUR to USD e

xchange rate in four years is forecasted to be 1 EUR = 1.31 USD. You begin with 100 USD today and will invest in a European security that provides 10% annual returns (in EUR). Using this information, answer the following six (6) questions.
a. Is the USD forecasted to appreciate or depreciate relative to EUR?

i. Appreciate
ii. Depreciate
iii. Neither appreciate nor depreciate
iv. Both appreciate and depreciate

b. To invest in the European security you must first convert USD to EUR. How many EUR will you have when exchange your 100 USD today for EUR?
c. Given that you will invest in a European security that earns 10% annually, how many euros will you have in 4 years? Assume that you reinvest all earnings (i.e., your investment simply compounds for 4 years).
d. You live in the US so you wish to exchange EUR for USD after 4 years. How many USD will you have in 4 years after exchanging your euros from the previous problem for USD?
e. What is your total return in USD? Use decimal notation, e.g., enter 0.2345 for 23.45%
f. What is your average annual return in USD? Use decimal notation, e.g., enter 0.2345 for 23.45%. [Hint: You can use your calculators built-in financial function ("fab five") to obtain this answer.]

Answer:

A)

USD will depreciate in future by :

Value of $ today =  1∈/1.19$= 0.84033

Value After 4 years =  1∈/1.31$ = 0.76335

B)

Value Of $100 in ∈ Today =   0.84033*100 = 84.033

C)

Value Of Investment after 4 years = P=123.032

Compounding Formula = P=S(1+i)^4  

P= 84.033(1+10%)^4

P=123.032

D)

Value of ∈123.032 in USD =   123.032*1.31 = $161.171

E)

Total Return =      (161.171-100) = 61.171

Return In %  =             61.171/100*100 = 61%

F)

Average Annual Return =         Total Return / No of Years

Average Annual Return =         61%/4 =   15.25%

Answer:

(a) ii Depreciate

(b) 84.03 Euro

(c) 123.03 Euro

(d) 161.17 USD

(e) 61.17%

(f) 15.29%

Explanation:

(a) The value of USD is depreciating as you can exchange 1.19 USD for 1 Euro but in after four years, you will need 1.31 USD to exchange for 1 Euro. Thus, you will need more dollars for 1 Euro.

(b) To convert USD to Euro, we just divide the USD with the exchange rate,

Euro = 100 / 1.19 ⇒ 84.0336 Euro

(c) We simply use the compound interest rate formula to calculate the value of our investment after four years with compounding interest,

The formula for compound interest rate is,

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where,

A = Final amount  of investment

P = Initial principal Invested

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest is compounded per time period

t = number of time periods

  • A = 84.03 ( 1 + 0.1/1)^4  ⇒ 123.028323 Euro

(d) We convert the euros back to USD using the after 4 year exchange rate of 1 Euro to 1.31 USD,

  • 123.03 * 1.31 ⇒ 161.17 USD

(e) Total Return in USD = (161.17 - 100) / 100 ⇒ 0.6117 or 61.17 %

(f) The annual average return can be calculated by dividing the total return by the number of years = 61.17% / 4 = 15.2925 %

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices Unlimited liability and limited life are two key advantage
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The correct statement is;  Limited liability is an advantage of the corporate form of organization to its owners (stockholders), but corporations have more trouble raising money in financial markets because of the complexity of this form of organization.

Explanation:

A limited company can either be private or public. A limited company posses these 2 key features namely;

1.  Limited liability- the liability of shareholders is limited to the amount of their investment in the company.

2. Seperate legal existence-  a limited company can in it's name sue, be sued and enter into contracts.

Limited liability means that the investors can only lose the money they have invested and no more, meaning lenders have to keep this in mind when issuing loans to limited companies.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is Maverick buying.

Explanation:

Maverick, is a wayward, a dissident, a rebel, someone who refuses to abide by the rules or resists joining a group. The term originates from Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher, who refused to mark his cattle.

The "maverick buying", refers to purchases out of contract or channels established by an organization. For example, the Corporate Supply department negotiates a competitive price for certain particular models of laptops with a distributor. Days later, someone from the Human Resources department requests the purchase of a much more expensive model, for which a discount has not been negotiated.

Another example: traveling in an airline and staying in a hotel other than those with which the company has signed agreements.

The impact of bypassing the preferred purchasing channels and systems can vary from operational inefficiency, to missing out on the advantages of corporate contract negotiation, large fines and even jail time.
