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

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In the perfect co petition firm is a price taker. Firms do not decide price. Price is determined by demand and supply intersection. Firms face a horizontal demand curve. They can only adjust the quantity they supply.

In a perfect competition, if the price is not able to cover the average variable cost, it means that the firm will be incurring losses. The firm will thus shutdown and stop production.

2-y from now   $323,601.5765

3-y from now  $279,489.7026

4-y from now  $231,848.8788

6-y from now   $124,828.5322

7-y from now   $64,814.8148

Explanation:

We sovle for the PV of the annuity of 70,00 during 8 years discounted at 8%

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 70,000.00

time 8

rate 0.08

70000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-8} }{0.08} = PV\\

PV $402,264.7261

To know the value of the outstanding dbet we can repeat this formula changing the values for time

t = 7   $364,445.9041

t = 6   $323,601.5765

t = 5   $279,489.7026

t = 4   $231,848.8788

t = 3   $180,396.7891

t = 2   $124,828.5322

t = 1   $64,814.8148
