creativ13 [48]

Answer:

5.75%

Explanation:

First, find the coupon payment amount . Using a financial calculator, key in the following inputs for this the bond valuation.

Note: Make adjustment on the rate and time since the coupon payments are made semi-annually i.e 2 times a year.

Maturity of the bond ; N = 14.5*2 = 29

Semi-annual rate ; I/Y = (5.3%/2) = 2.65%

Face value ; FV = 1000

Price of the bond or PV = -1045

then compute semiannual coupon payment ; CPT PMT = $28.743

Annual coupon rate is therefore = $28.743*2 = $57.486

Coupon rate = coupon payment / face value

Coupon rate = $57.486 / 1000

= 0.05749 or 5.75%

Assume the following information. You have $1,000,000 to invest. Current spot rate of pound = $1.30 90-day forward rate of pound

Softa [21]

Answer:

$ 1,024,000

Explanation:

Spot Rate : 1 Pound = $ 1.30

3 Months Forward Rate = $ 1.28

3 Months Deposit rate in US = 2.25%

3 Months Deposit rate in Great Britain = 4%

Total Amount of Investment = $ 1,000,000.

Step 1:

Convert $ 1,000,000 into Pounds using Spot rate (i.e., 1 Pound = $ 1.30).

We will get,

= $1000,000 ÷ 1.30

= 769230.76923 Pounds.

Step 2:

Invest 769230.76923 Pounds in great Britain for 3 months at an interest rate of 4%.

Therefore, we have an interest of 30769.23076 Pounds.

Hence, the total realizable value after 3 months:

= 769230.76923 + 30769.23076

= 800,000 Pounds

Step 3:

Convert 800,000 Pounds into Dollars using Forward rate (i.e., 1 Pound = $ 1.28).

Therefore, the total amount in Dollars:

= 800,000 Pounds × $ 1.28

= $ 1,024,000
