SF1.4900/$ b. SF1.4400/$ c. SF1.4080/$ d. SF1.6030/$ .. a. If the exchange rate at the end of the period was SF1.4900/$, what is the effective after-tax cost of debt? 3.5009 % (Round to four decimal places.) b.

D4) Finance If the foreign interest rate is 4%, the risk premium on domestic assets, ρ, is 18%, and the expected rate of depreciation of the domestic currency against the foreign currency is 3%, what is the domestic interest rate in percentage terms, given covered interest parity holds? [All variables have a 1-year time frame.]
The total in rate sensitive assets for a financial institution is $120 million and the total in rate sensitive liabilities is $95 million. What is the cumulative pricing gap (CGAP) and what is the interest rate sensitivity gap ratio if total assets equals $195 million? What would the projected change to net income be if interest rates rose by 2% on both assets and liabilities? What would the projected change to net income be if interest rates declined by 2% on both assets and liabilities? What would the projected change to net income be if interest rates rose by 1.8% on assets and 1.5% on liabilities? What would the projected change to net income be if interest rates declined by 1.8% on assets and 1.5% on liabilities?
Assume you invest in the European Equity Market and have a 15% return (quoted in Euros). a) If during this period the euro appreciated by 10% against the dollar, what would be your actual return, translated into United States dollars?b) What if the euro declined by 10% against the dollar, what would your actual return be, translated into dollars?c) Recompute the answer based on a 15% decline in the euro against the dollar.
Which of the following statements is false? A. Basel II use the value at risk (VaR) with a one-year time horizon and a 99.9% confidence level for calculating capital for credit risk and operational risk. B. 20 BP = 0.2% C. Basel I is increasing the amount of capital that banks are required to hold and the proportion of that capital that must be equity. D. Model-building approach is a model for the joint distribution of changes in market variables and using historical data to estimate the model parameters.
The British pound (GBP) is currently priced at $1.50 and the Swiss Franc (SF) is priced at $0.50, while the quoted cross rate is 1GB =3.50 SF. If you have $1,000, can you make an arbitrage profit? If so, describe the steps required to create the opportunity and show the profit. If there is no arbitrage profit opportunity, describe how you arrived at that decision.
Suppose our corporation can borrow in EUR at 0.08% for 1 year. The current exchange rate is USD1.10/EUR, and the EUR is expected to appreciate against the dollar to USD1.2/EUR. What is the interest rate cost of the bond in USD? Please enter your answer as % -- e.g. if your answer is 2.34% type in 2.34.
H10. Assume that initially, the risk premium, ρ = 0 and that the domestic and foreign interest rates are given by R = .06, R* = .05. Suppose that the risk premium depends linearly on the difference between domestic government debt, B, and domestic assets of the central bank, A, i.e., ρ = ρ (B-A) Find the new domestic interest rate if a sterilized purchase of foreign assets adjusts A s.t. (a) B - A = -.01/ ρ0 (b) B - A = .03/ ρ0
Due to the integrated nature of their capital markets, investors in both the U.S. and U.K. require the same real interest rate, 2.1%, on their lending. There is a consensus in capital markets that the annual inflation rate is likely to be 1.7% in the U.S. and 2.5% in the U.K. for the next three years. The GBP/USD rate is currently 1.3053. What is your expected future spot for GBP/USD two years from now? (X.XXXX)
Establish a finance plan that assumes the sales estimates at the take price level would have been increased by $500,000. This means that the current take price level of $9,170,000 would increase by $500,000. This change would offer more collateral to the bank, and the bank would then increase the GAP loan. The GAP loan requires 200% collateral in unsold rights. This change would impact the equity investment. Question: What would be the new equity investment be if the budget stays the same?
Suppose there are no transaction costs. If the one year forward rate of the euro is an accurate estimate of the spot rate one year from now, then the actual cost of hedging payable will be: A. positive if the forward rate exhibits a premium, and negative if the forward rate exhibits a discount. B. positive. C. negative. D. zero.
