A. currency swap.
B. arbitrage.
C. backwardation.
D. straddle.
<u>The answer is </u><u>b.</u>
Explanation:
Arbitrage is a common practice used to gain profits from inefficient markets. Since most financial markets are inefficient by nature, dealers and similar business entities that have an interest in this kind of business practice.
The profit in arbitrage is based on the <u>imbalance in the two prices</u> on each market respectively. The term is mainly used for financial markets and various financial instruments (securities, bonds, currencies).
In the example above, the dealer becomes an arbitrageur by making a profit from the difference in the yen/dollar exchange rate in two markets (NY and London.)
Answer: 1.356345
Explanation:
Based on the scenario and information provided in the question, the 90-day forward rate will be calculated as:
= Spot Rate × (1 + Germany Interest Rate) / (1 + United States Interest Rate)
= 1.35 × (1 + 6.5%) / (1 + 6%)
= 1.35 × (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.06)
= 1.35 × 1.065/1.06
= 1.35 × 1.0047
= 1.356345
Answer:
10,064 bonds
Explanation:
Given:
Amount to be raised = $2,800,000
Par value (FV) = $1,000
Maturity (nper) = 20×2 = 40 periods
Yield (rate) = 6.49 ÷ 2 = 3.245% or 0.03245
Coupon payment is 0 as it's a zero coupon bond.
Assume it's compounded semi-annually.
Calculate the price of the bond today using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)
Price of bond is $278.23
PV is negative as it's a cash outflow.
Number of bonds to be sold = Total amount to be raised ÷ Price of bond
= 2,800,000 ÷ 278.23
= 10,064 bonds
Company should sell 10,064 bonds to raise $2.8 million
To find the value of the inventory to the nearest cent:
Estimated costs are: $18,750
Storage costs: 12%
Interest costs: 12%
Transportation costs: 5%
Let's add the costs up: 12% + 12% + 5% = 29%
We are solving for the value of inventory so in this case we will make that X.
X = estimated costs/interest amounts
X = $18,750/29%
X = $18,750/0.29
X = $64,655.17
The value of the inventory is $64,655.17
To check your work you can take $64,655.17 and multiply it by 29%
= $18,750

That needs to make sense. After that, it's an algebra problem.
