Explanation:
Parker Co. can execute money market hedge in following steps:
(1) Parker Co. pledges Receivable of SF200,000 to borrow SF190,476 with rate 5% in Switzerland; SF190,476 = SF200,000/ (1+5%)
so it has to pay interest expense of SF9,524 in 360 days. The receivable of SF200,000 is enough for both principal and interest in 360 days.
(2) Then it sells SF190,476 at spot rate $0.48 to get $91,428
(3) Then it deposits $91,428 in US with rate 6% to get back $96,914 in 360 days
; $96,914 = $91,428 * (1+6%)
Answer:
C. The coupon rate on these bonds would have been higher if Standard and Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch had assigned lower credit ratings
Explanation:
Assume that in January 2017, Vivendi announced a €1.2 billion bond issuance. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6.75% payable semiannually. Assume the bonds have been assigned credit ratings of BBB (stable outlook) by Standard and Poor's, Baa2 (stable outlook) by Moody's, and BBB (stable outlook) by Fitch.
Which of the following is not true? The coupon rate on these bonds would have been higher if Standard and Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch had assigned lower credit ratings.
Answer:
The Beta is 1
The required return increases to 13%
Explanation:
The formula for required return is given below:
Required Return = Risk-Free Rate of Return + β(Market Return – Risk-Free Rate of Return)
required return is 11%
risk-free rate of return=7%
Beta is unknown
market return-risk free rate of return is market risk premium is 4%
11%=7%+beta(4%)
11%-7%=beta*4%
4%=beta*4%
beta=4%/4%
beta=1
If the market risk premium increased to 6%,required return is calculated thus:
required return=7%+1(6%)
required return =13%
This implies that the riskier the stock, the higher the market risk premium, the higher the required return to investors.
