Marianna [84]

Bea Moran wants to establish a long derivatives position in a commodity she will need to acquire in six months. Moran observes that the six-month forward price is 45.20 and the six-month futures price is 45.10. This difference most likely suggests that for this commodity: futures prices are negatively correlated with interest rates.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What are interest rates?</h3>

Generally, the fraction of a loan that is charged as interest to the borrower is often stated as a yearly percentage of the loan outstanding.

"lower interest rates encourage people to spend money on house upgrades"

In conclusion, Bea Moran would want to construct a long derivatives position in a commodity that she will need to buy in a little over half a year's time. Moran notes that the price of the six-month forward contract is now at 45.20, while the price of the six-month futures contract is currently at 45.10. Because of this disparity, it is quite probable that the prices of futures contracts for this commodity have an inverse relationship with interest rates.

1.  Nominal value is the value of a product based on the money of the day that we see. The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011 and Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011 are the values of the product and wage quoting the money of the day.

2. The real value of a varaible is the value in terms of the value of some other goods. In this case Paperback and Maria's wage are valued in terms of beignets.

3. The relative price of paperback is valued in terms of beignets. So if a beignet costs $6 and a paperback novel is $18. The relative price of a paperback novel will be three times the cost of beignet, since a beignet costs $6.

4. Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage increases and the real value of her wage remains the same.

Reika [66]

Answer:

$4,775,565.49

Explanation:

The computation of the selling price of the bond is shown below:

Particulars                  Amount PV factor 6%       Present value

Semi-annual interest $216,209 19.60044    $4,237,791.53

Principal                         $3,088,700     0.174110131  $537,773.96

Total                                                       $4,775,565.49

Working notes

Semi-annual interest $216,209 = $3,088,700 × 14% × 6 ÷ 12

PV factor 3%:    

Semi-annual interest 13.76483115      = {(1 - (1.06)^-30) ÷ 0.06 }

Principal 0.174110131  = {1 ÷ 1.03^30}
