Answer:

International flows of funds can affect the Fed's monetary policy. For example, suppose that interest rates are trending lower than the Fed desires. If this downward pressure on U.S. interest rates may be offset by <u>outflows</u> of foreign funds, the Fed may not feel compelled to use a <u>tight </u>monetary policy.

Explanation:

A Tight Monetary Policy is when the central bank tightens policy or makes money tight by raising short-term interest rates through policy changes to the discount rate, also known as the federal funds rate. Boosting interest rates increases the cost of borrowing and effectively reduces its attractiveness.

Outflows of foreign funds or the flight of assets occurs when foreign and domestic investors sell off their holdings in a particular country because of perceived weakness in the nation's economy and the belief that better opportunities exist abroad.

The reasoning is as follows, the rate is down in the USA so holders of assets look for better rates abroad as a consequence  there is less money in the US domestic economy and automatically the rate tend to rise (remember that interest rate is the price of money). If there is less supply of something the price of that something will go up (ceteris paribus). The same thing will happen to the interest rate without the intervention of the FED.

Banco Macro is expected to generate $150 million in free cash flow next year, and the free cash flow is expected to grow at a co
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Stock value per share = $136.8

Explanation:

The value of a firm can be determined using the free cash flow  and the Discount cash flow model.

The discounted cash flow model values a firm as the the sum of the present values of the future cash flows generated by the assets of the firm  discounted at an appropriate  required rate of return. This rate of return (discount rate)is called Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.

Free cash flow to the Firm ( FCFF) is the cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures. It is the cash flow available to all providers of capital after all investments in non-current assets and working capital have been made.

Value of a firm = FCFF (1+g)/(WACC-g)

g- growth rate

Value of Banco = 150 × (1+0.04)/(0.0685- 0.04)

                         =5473.684211

Value per stock = (Value of the firm - Value of Debt)/ No of stock units

                           = <u>5473.68 - 0</u>

                             40 million units

Stock value per share = $136.8
