Answer:
a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:
u = eStd Dev * Square root of t
u = e0.06*square root of 0.25
u = 1.0305
b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)
where a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25
a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063
d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663
p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)
p = 0.46
1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54
c) Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555
Answer:
less desirable to other investors
Explanation:
<u>Given</u>: Current fixed coupon rate 5%
Market rate of interest 5%
New Market Rate of Interest 6%
Value of a bond is inversely related to economy interest rate or the yield to maturity (YTM). Value of a bond is expressed by the following equation:
wherein, C = Coupon rate of interest
YTM = Market Rate of Interest or interest rate in the economy or investor's expectation
n= Years to maturity
RV = Redemption value
In the given case, C = YTM i.e par value bond. When ytm rises to 6%, the value of the bond shall fall making such a bond less attractive since it represents lower coupon payments than investor expectations.
Thus, now the bond would be less desirable to other investors.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Decreasing your stocks and increasing your bonds.
Explanation:
Target-date funds are pools of assets employees with a 401(k) retirement account can access. <em>Target-date funds consider stocks as riskier assets than bonds</em>, thus, more stocks than bonds are included in the fund of the employee at first. However, <em>as soon as the date when the employee is to retire approaches, the fund automatically lowers the number of stocks in the employee's account to include more bonds</em>, which are safer securities.

Answer:
A) The account receivables turnover is 15, and B) the number of days sales in receivables is 24.3 days.
Explanation:
A) FORMULA FOR ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES TURNOVER =
NET SALES / AVERAGE ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES
Given information -
Net sales = $1500,000
Average account receivables = $100,000
Putting the values in formula -
= $1500,000 / $100,000
= 15
B) FORMULA FOR NUMBER OF DAYS SALES IN RECEIVABLES =
365 / ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES TURNOVER
= 365 / 15
= 24.3 DAYS
