Question Completion:

Note that the June Settlement Futures rate = $0.10773/Ps from the Exhibit 7.1 (not provided here).

Answer:

Amber McClain

a)  If spot rate = $0.12000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -$49,000

b) If spot rate = $0.09800/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -$88,000

c) If spot rate = $0.11000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -$40,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Notional selling price of June futures = 500,000 pesos

Number of contracts = 8

June Settlement Futures rate = $0.10773/Ps

a) If spot rate = $0.12000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8

= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.10773/Ps) * 8

= -500,000 * 0.01227 * 8

= -$49,000

b) If spot rate = $0.09800/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8

= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.09800/Ps) * 8

= -500,000 * 0.022 * 8

= -$88,000

c) If spot rate = $0.11000/Ps:

The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8

= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.11000/Ps) * 8

= -500,000 * 0.01 * 8

= -$40,000

Studentka2010 [4]

Managers often use a(n) utilitarian approach when making organizational decisions - using financial performance such as profit as the best definition of what constitutes an ethical choice for the company.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When decisions are taken by taking benefits and the costs that are associated with stakeholders into consideration is an utilitarian approach. The main thing that is considered in this approach for taking any decision is consideration of the outcome and net result of the action that is to be taken.

It aims in taking an action that has greater good for many number of people and less harm for lesser number of people. It considers both the people who gets benefits and those people who suffer from the decision. It mainly focus on choosing an alternate that is more ethical and produces a good balancing of benefits than harm.

Slim made a single deposit of $5,000 in an account that pays 7.2% in 2015. What equal-sized annual withdrawals can Slim make fro
evablogger [386]

Answer:

annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Explanation:

given data

Amount Deposited = $5,000

Annual Interest Rate = 7.2%

First withdrawal =  2020

last withdrawal = 2025

solution

we consider equal sized annual withdrawals = x

so we can say that Amount Deposited amount will be as

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^6} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^7} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^8} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^9} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{10}}       ..........1

we take common here \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}}

so

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}} \times ( \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^1} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^2} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^3} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^4} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^{6}} )      

solve it we get

x = $1,393.87  

so that annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

There's an error in the numbers for this question; I found the correct one and pasted it below;

"Great Lakes Steel Supply is losing significant market share and thus its managers have decided to decrease the firm's annual dividend. The last annual dividend was $1.30 per share but all future dividends will be decreased by 2.75 percent annually. What is a share of this stock worth today at a required return of 15.5 percent? "

Explanation:

Use dividend discount model (DDM) to calculate the stock price

P0 = \frac{D0(1+g)}{r-g}

whereby,

P0 = Current price

D0 = Last dividend paid = 130

g = growth rate = -275% or -2.75 as a decimal

r = required return = 155% or 1.55 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers to the DDM formula above;

P0 = \frac{1.30(1-0.0275)}{0.155 + 0.0275} \\ \\ = \frac{1.2643}{0.1825} \\ \\ =6.9277

Therefore this stock is worth $6.93
