Answer:

The forward is discount, which is -1.8%

Explanation:

The forward rate is the rate of interest that is applicable or applied to the financial transaction, which will happen in the near future.

The percent is computed as:

= (Spot rate / Forward rate) - 1

where

Spot rate is $1.60

Forward rate is $1.63

Putting the values above:

= ($1.60 / $1.63) - 1

= $0.9815 - 1

= -1.8 %

which is forward discount.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The Firm should not Buy and Install the press as it delivers a negative NPV of -$24,924 at 11% discount rate over its 4 year operations

Explanation:

The General rule is to appraise the investment based on various appraisal techniques.

A technique that should be considered must have special focus on the time value of money, the required rate of returns expected by the firm and other Cashflow considerations.

The Net Present Value (NPV) approach will be the best method to proceed with.

The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:

a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)

b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)

c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Answer:

Materials quantity​ variance= $1,750 unfavorable

Explanation:

<em>Material quantity variance occurs when the actual quantity used to achieved a given level of output is more or less than the standard quantity.  </em>

<em>It is determined by the difference between the actual and standard quantity of material for the actual level of output multiplied by the the standard price  </em>

                                                                                               pints

The Rodriquez family is determined to purchase a $250,000 home without incurring any debt. The family plans to save $2,500 a qua
dexar [7]

Answer:

70years

Explanation:

The future value formula for compound interest, after n interest period is

F=P(1+i)^n

where i is the interest rate per period in decimal form and P is the principal or present value.

The Rodriquez family is determined to purchase a $250,000 home so

F=$ 250,000

The family plans to save $2,500 a quarter for this purpose and expects to earn 6.65 percent.

This implies that:

i =  \frac{0.0665}{4}  = 0.0016625

For t years, the number of compounding periods will be;

n = 4t

We fixed the values into the formula and solve for t.

250000=2500(1+0.0066125)^ {4t}

\frac{250000}{2500} =(1.0066125)^ {4t}

100=(1.0066125)^ {4t}

100=(1.0682)^ {t}

t =  log_{1.0682}(100)

t = 69.8

It will take approximately 70years

If the company were to issue an annual zero-coupon bond with a maturity of 2 years and par value of $1,000, what would be the ar
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
