Answer:

c. $8.63

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually.  A. $8.88 , B. $9.12 , C. $8.63 , D. $9.02"</em>

Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum

The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.

Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)

= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000

= $10

Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period

= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)

= $8.6261

= $8.63

Answer:

The bond will sell for the amount of $869.17

Explanation:

According to the given data coupon amount = 50/2 = 25

Therefore, in order to calculate the selling price of the bond we would have to make the following calculation:

selling price of the bond = 25 * PVIFA(3%,52) + 1,000 * PVIF(3%,52)

selling price of the bond= 25 * 26.1662 + 1,000 * 0.2150

 selling price of the bond= $869.17

The bond will sell for the amount of $869.17

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put
lorasvet [3.4K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

We will derive a two-state put option value in this problem.

Data: S₀ = 106; X = 112; 1 + r = 1.12. The two possibilities for ST are 149 and 75.

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put

Answer: the hedge ratio of the put H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

Explanation:

Given that;

S₀ = 106, X = 112, 1 + r = 1.12

Us₀ = 149 ⇒ Pu = 0

ds₀ = 75 ⇒ Pd = 37

To find the Hedge ratio using the expression

H = Pu - Pd /Us₀ - ds₀

so we substitute

H = 0 - 37 / 149 - 75

H = - 37/ 74

H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": exports less imports.

Explanation:

Net exports are the difference between exports and imports from a country. It is computed by subtracting the total export value of the country, with the total value of the imports. Net exports from a country take on a negative value or <em>trade deficit </em>if it imports more merchandise than it produces. If a nation imports less merchandise than it exports, a positive value or <em>trade surplus </em>results.
