Answer:
B. French wines will become more expensive in the United States.
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another during international trade. The strength of a currency determines how much of the other countrie's goods it can purchase.
When the strength of a countrie's currency is high it will purchase more of the other countrie's goods. If however the currency is weak, it will take more to buy the other countrie's goods.
In this case if the dollar falls against the euro, it will take more dollars to buy French wine than before.
For example if a bottle of French wine was $500, after the fall the price may now be $800.
Answer:
$14.88
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is given below:
A total return of 12% means that
= 0.12 × 14
= $1.68 in a year.
Now
The total dividend payments for 4 quarters is
= 0.2 × 4
= $0.8.
Now the price of the stock should increase by
= 1.68 - 0.8
= 0.88
So the stock price one year from now is
= 14 + 0.88
= $14.88
Answer:
Stock Y is overvalued and Stock Z is undervalued.
Explanation:
The stock is fairly valued when the required rate of return on the stock is equal to its expected return. If the expected return on the stock is more than the required rate of return, the stock is undervalued and vice versa.
The required rate of return on the stock is calculated under the CAPM approach suing the following formula.
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRf is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
r of Stock Y = 0.052 + 1.3 * 0.077 = 0.1521 or 15.21%
The required rate of return of Stock Y (15.21%) is more than its expected rate (14.9%) which means the stock is overvalued.
r of Stock Z = 0.052 + 0.95 * 0.077 = 0.12515 or 12.515%
The required rate of return of Stock Z (12.515%) is less than its expected rate (12.8%) which means the stock is undervalued.
Answer:
The balance of trade will not change but the balance of payment will improve.
Explanation:
A balance of trade is defined as the difference between country's export and import value during a given period of time.
A balance of payment can be defined as a statement which keeps record of all the monetary transaction, that are made between the country's resident and rest of the world during a specific period of time.
Purchase of U.S government securities by Japanese insurance company will surely improve the balance of payment from the U.S perspective but the balance of trade with Japan is not likely going to change.
