Answer:
The correct answer is (C) $401,302
Explanation:
To get how much the contest winner actually won, we have to calculate the amount receive at the end of each year discounted at this moment. Then, we added all the payments.
For example, the first payment in $200,000 at this moment, so we add $200,000.
At the end of the first year we receive $30,000, and the rate of discount is 8%
The formula of discount is P=A/ (1+r)ⁿ
A=Final amount
P= Principal
r= interest rate
n= time
Year 1 = A/ (1+r)ⁿ
=$30,000/1,08¹= 27777,77
Year 2 =$30,000/1,08²= 25720,16
Year 3=23814,96
Year 4=22050,89
Year 5=20417,49
Year 6=18905,08
Year 7=17504,71
Year 8=16208,06
Year 9=15007,46
Year 10=13895,80
Total 401302,44
Because the judge has the final answer because Theo waved his right for a trial
It’s going to be A and it’s self explanatory so i don’t have an explanation
Answer:
The interest rate is higher in the US.
Explanation:
The forward price is calculated using the following formula,
F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t
where,
- F = Forward rate
- S = Spot rate
- Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
- Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
- t = time in years
We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD
The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.
We can see this by the following example,
Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)
F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1 => $1.362 PER 1EUR
