The impact of interest rate changes in the PV of $100 due in 20 years compared to the PV of $100 due in one year are:

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: c. greater because interest rate changes have a greater impact on distant cash flows than near-term cash flows.

Explanation:

Interest rate changes have a greater impact on distant cashflows because those cashflows will be exposed to the interest rates for longer. This means that they will be subjected to more discounting than a cashflow that is due in one year which would be subject to only a single year of discounting.

For instance, assume the required rate of return for two investments is 10%. One investment yields $10,000 in 20 years and another yields $10,000 in 2 years .

The present value of both are:

= 10,000 / (1 + 10%)²⁰ = 10,000 / ( 1 + 10%)²

= $1,486.43 = $8,264.46

<em>Notice the difference. The longer term investment was more exposed to interest rate effects. </em>

The treasurer of a major U.S. firm has $29 million to invest for three months. The interest rate in the United States is .29 per

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Check the following calculations.

Explanation:

The U.S. firm has $29 million

Investment is for three months

And the interest rate in the United States is .29 percent per month

The value of the investment if the money is invested in U.S

= $29 million *(1+ 0.29%) ^3

= $29.2530 million

The interest rate in Great Britain is .33 percent per month.

The spot exchange rate is £.629

And the three-month forward rate is £.632.

The value of the investment if the money is invested in Great Britain

Value after spot exchange = $29 million *(£.629/$1) = £ 18.241 million

Value after three months interest earning = £ 18.241*(1+0.33%) ^3

= £ 18.4222 million

Exchanging again in US $ after 3 months

= £ 18.4222 *($1/£ .632) = $29.1490 million

Therefore the value of the investment if the money is invested in Great Britain is $29.1490 million.

The value of investment will be more if the money is invested in U.S.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. It brings into question the quality of earnings.

Explanation:

It will be taken as management to the action of administering in the most efficient way to that profit that we obtained. When talking about efficiency, it points to the idea that money made up of profit must be spent intelligently.

To understand that not all money from a profit must be spent on personal matters. This does not mean that a certain part is not destined for it, because otherwise there will be no motivation to generate profit on a personal level. That is why it is important to know how to distribute the profit obtained in the most intelligent way possible. For this you only have to allocate 60% (the percentage is estimated the same can vary), to spend the money of a profit on personal expenses. Then one wonders what will happen with the remaining 40% (estimated percentage)? This is where intelligence comes in to manage the profit, this percentage must be used for reinvestment and also to form a contingency fund. This seeks to generate a multiplier effect of the capital earned and also form a "cushion" (savings) for when things are not right.

This type of profit management can be applied either at the company level: where part of the profit is reinvested to grow the business. And in turn it forms a contingency fund for any mishap that can be generated over time.
