Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

The information given in the question clearly shows that the value of goods and services U.S imported from Australia is greater than the value of goods and services Australia imported from the U.S. This exchange of goods and services between these two nations also shows that exports of Australia towards U.S. are greater than the exports of U.S. towards the Australia.

Leviafan [203]

Answer: b. selling VIX calls

Explanation:

The client could make some money selling VIX calls. Call options give the holder the right to buy an underlying asset at a set price in future and they will do so if the market price of the underlying asset increases past the call price of the asset (exercise price).

If the client expects that market conditions will be stable then an increase in stock price is not expected. They can sell calls and make money from the premium they will charge for the calls knowing that they would not have to sell any stock to the holder as the value will not appreciate.

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return expected from a bond held until its maturity date. However, the YTM equals the exp

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The response options are:

A) The bond will not be called.

B) The bond has an early redemption feature.

The correct answer is: A) The bond will not be called.

Explanation:

Depending on the internal rate of return (IRR), it is annual (IRR) or semiannual (IRR / m). The calculation of the IRR requires a trial and error process.

The important thing is that this performance measure takes into account not only the interest gain but also the capital gain or loss that the investor can have if he keeps the bond until maturity. In turn, consider the timing of cash flows.

It is noteworthy that the calculation of the IRR falls on 3 fundamental assumptions:

1) That the bond remains until maturity

2) 2) That all bonus coupons are charged

3) That all coupons are reinvested at the same rate.

Therefore, it can be seen that the IRR is an expected return, only if the 3 assumptions mentioned above are met.

While it is difficult for someone to win the IRR, by complying with the above assumptions, something very similar will be gained and is one of the best tools available for calculating performance and making comparisons.
