Answer:

C) Take a loan from big bank at 8.5% and save the money in Bank A at 9.0%

Explanation:

If you take a loan from Big Bank at 8.5%, and then deposit that money into Bank A in order to receive 9% interest rate, you will be earning 0.5%. This is a form of arbitrage, since you are simultaneously obtaining a "cheap" loan and immediately depositing the money at another bank that pays a higher interest rate.

Arbitrage is a type of trading, usually involves trading securities and commodities, and is basically represents earning money on market inefficiencies. Some argue that arbitrage is the base of all types of trading, but the difference is that arbitrage would be the most efficient type of trading. If you buy a stock and hold it for a certain period, that qualify as arbitrage, but if you buy and sell the same stock simultaneously and make a profit out of it, then that is arbitrage but it is also being a very efficient trader.

In this case, you could actually be making money without investing a cent.

The initial price for a stadium is $800,000,000. There will be a 2% adjustment to the price, and $85,000,000 of revenue from the
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

NPV = $246764705.88

Explanation:

The net present value of the stadium can be calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflow from the present value of cash inflow.

DATA

Initial price = $800,000,000

Revenue from sale of previous equipment = $85,000,000

Goverment provided fund to discount the price = $300,000,000

Discount factor for year 1 at 2% = 0.9804

Future Cash inflow = $675,000,000

Solution

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows

NPV = $661,764,705.88 - $415,000,000

NPV = $246,764,706

Working

PV of Cash inflow = $675,000,000 x 0.9804

PV of cash inflow =  $661,764,706

PV of Cash outflow = Initial price - Revenue form sale  - Goverment fund

PV of cash outflow = $800,000,000 - $85,000,000 - $300,000,000

PV of cash outflow = $415,000,000

A property is projected to generate cash flows of $10,000, $12,000, $15,000, and $17,000 at the end of year 1, 2, 3, and 4, resp
aliina [53]

Answer:

Total present value= $100,401.36

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A property is projected to generate cash flows of $10,000, $12,000, $15,000, and $17,000 at the end of year 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The expected sale price for the property at the end of year 4 is $100,000.

We need to apply the following formula to each cash flow:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Cf1= 10,000/1.13= 8,849.56

Cf2= 12,000/1.13^2= 9,397.76

Cf3= 15,000/1.13^3= 10,395.75

Cf4= (17,000 + 100,000)/1.13^4= 71,758.29

Total= $100,401.36
