Answer:

  • borrow <u>   euros   </u>

Explanation:

You borrow euros to buy dollars.

Assume you borrow $100 euros and buy Euros at the rate 0.8011Euro/$:

  • 100 euros × ( 1 / 0.8011Euro/$) = 124.83$

That means that, on Feb 14, 2018,  with 100 euros you buy $124.83.

Then, you keep the dollars until Mar 15, 2018 and sell them at the rate of 0.8210 Euro/$:

  • 124.83$ × 0.8210 Euro/$ = 102.49 Euro.

In that way, you converted 100Euro into 102.49Euro in 30 days.

That is a return of [102.49 - 100] / [100] × 100 = 2.49%. Then, if you borrowed at a rate less than 2.49% per month, you earned by <em>speculating</em> through the <em>"Short-selling" method</em>.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The intrinsic value of a share today is $16.87

Explanation:

Intrinsic Value of the share is calculated as below.

Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.

Value of Share = Dividend / (Rate of return - Growth rate)

placing values in the formula

Value of share = $2 / (14% - 6%) = $25

$25 is the value of share after 3 year, to calculate today's value we have to discount it as below

Today's value of share = $25 x ( 1 + 14% )^-3 = $16.87

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

money supply will decrease by $45 billion

Explanation:

the current money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 10% = 10, but the new money multiplier will be = 1 / 20% = 5

if the banks' total reserves are $10 billion, then the total deposits are $100 billion

the new reserve ratio will decrease the money supply by $50 billion (= $10 billion in extra reserves x 5). At the same time, the money injected by the Fed with the purchase of $1 billion in bonds will increase the money supply by $1 billion x 5 = $5 billion.

The net effect will be -$50 billion + $5 billion = -$45 billion
