Answer and Explanation:
(A) E(P) = (0.6) × ($2800) + (0.4) × ($2250)
= $1680+$900
= $2,580
E(S) = (0.6) × (1.40)+(0.4) × (1.5)
= 0.84 + 0.60
= $1.44
Var(S) = (0.6)(1.40 - 1.44)² + (.4)(1.50 - 1.44)²
= .00096+.00144
= 0.0024.
Cov(P,S) = (0.6)(2800-2580)(1.4-1.44) + (0.4)(2250-2580)(1.5-1.44)
= -5.28-7.92
= -13.20
b = Cov(P,S)/Var(S)
= -13.20/.0024
= -£5,500.
there is a negative exposure. as the pound gets stronger/weaker against the dollar the dollar value of british holding goes higher.
(B) b²Var(S) = (-5500)²(.0024) = 72,600($)²
(C). i would Buy 5,500 forward to hedge exchange risk exposure. By doing this, i can eliminate the volatility of the dollar value of your British asset that is due to the volatility of the exchange rate
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity increases; Equilibrium price is indeterminate.
Explanation:
If a new article reports that there are many benefits of exercise, this will increase the demand for exercise bikes and shifts the demand curve rightwards.
At the same time, there is a fall in the price of parts of exercise bikes which reduces the cost of production of exercise bikes. Now, the producer will be able to produce more exercise bikes, so the supply of exercise bikes increases and shifts the supply curve rightwards.
Therefore, there is an increase in the equilibrium quantity of exercise bikes and the impact on equilibrium price is indeterminate because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shift of demand and supply curve.

Answer:
2.45
Explanation:
Given that,
Stockholders equity book value = $750,500
Earnings per share = $3.00
Price-earnings ratio = 12.25
Common stock outstanding = 50,000 shares
Market price per share:
= Earnings per share × Price-earnings ratio
= $3.00 × 12.25
= $36.75
Equity book value per share:
= Stockholders equity ÷ Common stock outstanding
= $750,500 ÷ 50,000
= $15.01
Price-book ratio:
= Market price per share ÷ Equity book value per share
= $36.75 ÷ $15.01
= 2.45
