Definition of simple terminologies ;
- A contractual agreement is an agreement which is made on future exchanges in order to buy or sell goods at a fixed price at a specified time period.
- LIBOR stands for London interbank offered rate which is the rate at which banks borrow money from other banks in london market. this rate is a fixed term by the british bankers association.
a) The implied LIBOR of the September Eurodollar futures of 96.4 is = 100 96.4 /400-=0.9%
(b) As we want to borrow money, it implies buying protection against high interest rates, which means low Eurodollar future prices. We will short the Eurodollar contract.
c) Number of contact to be entered into = One Eurodollar contract which is based on a $1 million 3-month deposit. As such, entering into hedge a loan of $50M, will automatically implies entering into 50 short contracts.
d) A true 3-month LIBOR of 1% means an annualized position (annualized by market conventions) of 1% x 4 = 4%. Therefore, our 50 short contracts will pay: [96.4 − (100 − 4) × 100 × $25] × 50 = $50,000.
The increased interest rate has made the loan more expensive as such, the loss to exposure will be compensated hence we have to pay the following amount ; ($50,000,000 x 0.01) - $50,000
= $450,000

Explanation:
The computation of the new book value per share is as follows
current market price per share is
= market value ÷ number of shares outstanding
= $936,000 ÷ 60,000
= 15.6
Now
number of shares to be issued is
= cost of the machine ÷current market price per share
= $498,000 ÷ $15.60
= 31923.07692
Now
The new book value per share is
= (current book value + amount raised from the issuance of shares ) ÷ ( current number of shares + number of shares issued for machinery purchase
= ($720,000 + $498,000 ) ÷ ( 60,000 + 31923.08 )
= $13.25
Answer:
I would use survey research to determine the general opinion, positive or negative, on the feature from the general public.
Explanation:
When conducting any survey research, it is important to sample a wide variety of people. In this case, you would want to survey the general population, not just former Mercedes customers.
I would design a focus group survey with a series of questions where participants can choose from a range, 0-5, on how much they agree with a certain statement.
At the beginning of the survey, participants would read a brief paragraph explaining the features on the new car before continuing to the part where they record their responses.
Once the survey is conducted, the data can be analyzed. If the majority, say 70%, of all people surveyed agree strongly that a self driving car is a good idea and that the world is ready then you can assume that the general population is in fact ready.
