In late December you​ decide, for tax​ purposes, to sell a losing position that you hold in​ Twitter, which is listed on t

he​ NYSE, so that you can capture the loss and use it to offset some capital​ gains, thus reducing your taxes for the current year.​ However, since you still believe that Twitter is a good​ long-term investment, you wish to buy back your position in February the following year. To get this done you call your Charles Schwab brokerage account manager and request that he immediately sell your 1 comma 200 shares of Twitter and then in early February buy them back. Charles Schwab charges a commission of ​$4.95 for online stock trades and for​ broker-assisted trades there is an additional ​$25 service​ charge, so the total commission is ​$29.95.
a. Suppose that your total transaction costs for selling the 1,400 shares of Twitter in December were $59.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed?
b. Given that Twitter is listed on the NYSE, do your total transaction costs for December seem reasonable? Explain why or why not.
c. When your February statement arrives in the mail, you see that your total transaction costs for buying the 1,400 shares of Twitter were $47.95. What was the bid/ask spread for Twitter at the time your trade was executed?
d. What are your total round-trip transaction costs for both selling and buying the shares, and what could you have done differently to reduce the total costs?

Suppose in 1992, the average price level in Pacifica was 100, and that in Atlantica it was also 100. In the foreign exchange mar
wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. 1 Pound/1.29 or 0.78 Pound/Mark

b. Overvalued

Explanation:

a. What should the pound-mark exchange rate be in 2012?

Ratio of Pacifica pound to Atlantica mark in 2012 = 360/280 = 1.29

Or,

Ratio of Atlantica mark to Pacifica pound in 2012 = 280/360 = 0.78

Therefore, according to the relative purchasing power parity (PPP) theory, one Pacifica pound should equal to 1.29 Atlantica mark, i.e. 1 Pound/1.29 Mark.

This can also be stated differently that 1  Atlantica mark should equal to 0.78 Pacifica pound, i.e. 0.78 Pound/Mark.

b. If the actual pound per mark exchange rate is 0.5 pound/mark in 2012, is the mark overvalued or undervalued relative to its PPP value

Since the PPP pound per mark exchange rate value estimated in a above is 0.78 Pound/ Mark is higher than the actual pound per mark exchange rate of 0.5 pound/mark in 2012, mark is therefore overvalued.
