- Suppose that you are obtaining a personal loan from your uncle in the amount of $20,000 (now) to be repaid in two years to cover some of your college expenses. If your uncle usually earns minimum 8% profit (annually) on his money, which is invested in various sources. 1) What minimum lump-sum payment two years from now would make your uncle happy? 2) If you pay yearly, how much should you pay each year? 3) If you pay every six months, how much should you pay every six months?arrow_forward54) If a higher inflation is expected, what would you expect to happen to the shape of the yield curve? Why? 55) What is the shape of the yield curve when short rates are expected to fall in the medium term, and then increase? Demonstrate this graphically. 56) What is the shape of the yield curve when short-term rates are expected to rise sharply in the mid-term and moderately in the long-term? 57) When interest rates on 1-2-3-4-5 year bonds are 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 percent respectively, what information do we derive on future economic growth and real output?arrow_forward25) The graph above shows the market for a one-year discount bond with a face value of $1,000.

- The average house price is Php $12,770,797. Suppose that Nike are trying to buy a house which is equal to $12,770,79 and he have $10,000 today that can be invested at his bank. The bank pays 10% percent annual interest on its accounts. How long will it be before he have enough to buy the house?arrow_forwardSince the Fed has begun paying interest on bank reserves at the Fed, do barks still want to avoid holding excess reserves? Context: If lending was more profitable than the currently very low interest rate (formerly zero) that could be received from the Fed on excess reserves, we would still normally expect barks to lend out excess reserves rather than maintain them as excess reserves Judging from the fact that there has been a huge increase in holdings of excess reserves in the barking system, however, there may well be other constraints (such as Basel III) that may be limiting bank's willingness to lend out excess reserves.arrow_forwardFirm A can borrow at 5% fixed or at Libor plus 0.5% in the fixed and floating rate markets, respectively. Firm B can borrow at 7% fixed or Libor plus 1% in the fixed and floating rate markets, respectively. A wants to borrow floating and B wants to borrow fixed. If A borrows fixed and B borrows floating and they enter into a fixed-for-Libor interest-rate swap in which A pays Libor flat, what swap rate would you suggest to the two firms if you were an unbiased advisor? Group of answer choices 5,25% 6% 5.50% 5%arrow_forward
- Suppose that, holding yield constant, investors are indifferent as to whether they hold bonds issued by the federal govemment or bonds issued by state and local governments (that is, they consider the bonds the same with respect to default risk, information costs, and liquidity) Suppose that state governments have issued perpetuities (or consoles) with $78 coupons and that the federal govemment has also issued perpetuities with $78 coupons. If the state and federal perpetuites both have after-tax yields of 8%, what are their pre-tax yields? (Assume that the relevant federal income tax rate is 31.13%) * The pre-tax yield on the state perpetuity will be______________% * The pre-tax yield on the federal perpetuity will be_______________%arrow_forwardNeed help. Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of asset-backed financial securities at a geometric rate, specifically from $4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128 over a six-year time period. Over the same period, the value of the assets underlying the securities rose at an arithmetic rate from $4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14. If these patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases, by how much would the value of the financial securities decline if the value of the underlying asset suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6?

- Assume that you start by borrowing either $100,000 or 10,500,000 Japanese Yen. Using a starting yen per dollar exchange of 105 Yen per dollar and a oneyear US interest rate of 5% and one-year Japanese interest rate of 0.5%. Explain how a hedge fund can use the carry trade to make profits or incur losses. In your answer, show the profits or losses in both dollars and yen in the following four cases [(i) to (iv)] making it clear in each case what the profit or loss is in both yen and dollars. (a) The exchange rate stays the same at 105 yen per dollar. (b) The exchange rate moves to 75 yen per dollar (c) The exchange rate moves to 125 yen per dollar (d) State the breakeven exchange rate for the carry tradearrow_forward9. How would you incorporate security considerations/costs into the transactions demand model? What would this imply for the demand for currency in a relatively insecure urban environment (a) compared with a relatively safe one, (b) when owner-identified smart cards become available? Do these factors affect the demand for demand deposits? How would the proportion of currency to demand deposits be affected in these cases? 10. Can the transactions demand model be used to explain why financial innovations in recent decades have reduced the transactions demand for M1? 11. Are transactions demand models useless, as Sprenkle (1969) argued? If they are, how would you explain the demand for M1 or just for demand deposits in the economy?arrow_forwardSuppose that the interest rate at which Joanne can borrow and lend is 10 percent per year, but she can earn $22,000 with a high school degree. Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year. Now that the interest rate has risen, should Joanne go to college or go to work?arrow_forward
