Answer:

The annualized rate of return to the Swiss investor is -7.93%.

Explanation:

This is an instance of foreign currency bond.

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.420, purchase price of the bond is calculated as $9,708.74 x 1.420 = 13,786.4108 Swiss Francs

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.324, maturity value is $10,000 x 1.324 = 13,240 Swiss Francs

Holding period is 6 months.

So, annualized rate of return is: (Maturity amount - Purchase price)/Purchase price x 12 / No of months

Annualized rate of return is: (13,240 - 13,786.4108)/13,786.4108 x 12/6 = -0.079268028.

Annualized rate of return is -7.93% approximately.

eduard

Question: The demand function for widgets is given by D(P) = 16 − 2P. Compute the change inconsumer surplus when price of a widget increases for $1 to $3. Illustrate your result graphically

Answer:

For price of a widget equal to $1 consumer surplus is

D(1) = 16 - 2(1) = 14

CS₁ = ½ × (8 – 1) × D(1) = ½ × 7 × 14 = 49.

When price is equal to $3 consumer surplus is

D(3) = 16 - 2(3) = 10

CS₃ = ½ × (8 – 3) × D(3) = ½ × 5 × 10 = 25
