Answer:

The interest rate is higher in the US.

Explanation:

The forward price is calculated using the following formula,

F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t

where,

  • F = Forward rate
  • S = Spot rate
  • Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
  • Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
  • t = time in years

We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD

The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.

We can see this by the following example,

Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)

F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1   => $1.362 PER 1EUR

myrzilka [38]

According to the information in the Graph Veronique made a better decision than Lily because the final cost of her purchase is lower including finance charges (option B)

<h3>What is a finance charge?</h3>

A finance charge is an economic term that refers to additional charges made by finance companies (such as banks) to a transaction we make, such as a purchase.

In the case of Veronique and Lilly, they both bought the same suitcase with different prices. However, the better financial decision was Veronique's because she paid less ($25) for the same bag including finance charges.

While Lilly, despite having fewer fees, will have to pay $10 more than Veronique.

defon

Answer: 8.79%

Explanation:

The premium or discount as a percent of NAV will be calculated thus:

NAV will be calculated as:

= (Market value of portfolio - liabilities ) / shares outstanding

= ($310 million - $3million) ÷ 10 million

= $30.7 per share.

Then, the calculation for the discount percent will be:

= (selling price - NAV) / NAV

= ($28 - $30.7) / $30.7

= ($-2.7) / $30.7

= (0.0879)

= 8.79%

Therefore, NAV is trading at discount of 8.79%
