TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

1. C. $33.76 per share

2. B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return

3. 8.25% ; $35.62 ; 5.5%

Explanation:

1. Using the Constant Growth Model to calculate the intrinsic value would be best given the above values.

The formula is;

Value = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth rate)

Value = (2.64 * ( 1 + 5.5%)) / ( 13.75% - 5.5%)

Value = 2.7852/8.25%

Value = $33.76

2. Going by the formula, if the expected growth rate is more than the required return, the intrinsic value would be a negative number and a stock's price cannot go below 0. The growth rate has to be less than the required return for this to work.

3. At Equilibrium, the stock dividend is growing as it should.

Dividend Yield should therefore be;

= Next Dividend / Stock Value * 100

= (2.7852 / 33.76) * 100

= 8.25%

Stock Price should grow at the growth rate so;

= 33.76 * ( 1 + 0.055)

= $35.62

Gains yield refers to what rate the stock will change in value. Growth rate is 5.5% so that will be the answer.

CIRP. Jason Smith is a foreign exchange trader with Citibank. He notices the following quotes. Spot exchange rate SFr1.6627/$ Si

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

A.

For six months, rSFr => 1.50% and r$ => 1.75%.

Since the exchange rate is in SFr/$ terms, the appropriate expression for the interest rate parity relation is

F/S => [ (1 + rSFr ) / ( 1 + r$) ]

then we can also say

F/S *( 1 + r$) => (1 + rSFr )

Now Left side => F/S *( 1 + r$) => [ ( 1 + 6.558) / ( + 1.6627) ] * (1 +0.0175)

Left side => 1.0133

and Right side => (1 + rSFr ) => 1.0150

Since the left and right sides are not equal, IRP is not holding.

B and C.

Since IRP is not holding, there is an arbitrage possibility.

As 1.0133 < 1.0150,

we can say that the EuroSFr quote is more than what it should be as per the quotes for the other three variables. And, we can also say that the Euro$ quote is less than what it should be as per the quotes for the other three variables. Therefore, the arbitrage strategy should be based on borrowing in the Euro$ market and lending in the SFr market. The steps are as as follows. -

Borrow $1000000 for six-months at 3.5% per year and then we will pay back

=> $1000000 * (1 + 0.0175) => $1,017,500 six months later.

Convert $1000000 to SFr at the spot rate to get SFr 1662700.

Lend SFr 1662700 for six-months at 3% per year. Will get back

=> SFr1662700 * (1 + 0.0150) => SFr 1,687,641 six months later.

Sell SFr 1687641 six months forward. The transaction will be contracted as of the current date but delivery and settlement will only take place six months later. So, sixmonths later exchange

SFr 1,687,641 for => SFr 1687641 ⁄ SFr 1.6558/$ => $1,019,230.

The arbitrage profit six months later is 1019230 - 1017500 = $1,730
