...Problem Set 2 International Finance Shrikhande Fall 2006 SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS TO CHAPTER 4 PROBLEMS 1. From base price levels of 100 in 1987, West German and U.S. price levels in 1988 stood at 102 and 106, respectively. If the 1987 $/DM exchange rate was $0.54, what should the exchange rate be in 1988? In fact, the exchange rate in 1988 was DM 1 = $0.56. What might account for the discrepancy? (Price levels were measured using the consumer price index.) Answer. If e1981 is the dollar value of the German mark in 1988, then according to purchasing power parity e1988/.54 = 106/102 or e1988 = $.5612. The discrepancy between the predicted rate of $.5612 and the actual rate of $.56 is insignificant and hence needs no explaining. Historically, however, discrepancies betweenthe PPP rate and the actual rate have frequently occurred. These discrepancies could be due to mismeasurement of the relevant price indices. Estimates based on narrower price indices reflecting only traded goods prices would probably be closer to the mark, so to speak. Alternatively, it could be due to a switch in investors' preferences from dollar to non-dollar assets. 3. In early 1996, the short-term interest rate in France was 3.7%, and forecast French inflation was 1.8%. At the same time, the short-term German interest rate was 2.6% and forecast German inflation was 1.6%. a. Based on these figures, what were the real interest rates in France and Germany? Answer. The French real interest...

...sensitivity of a bond and its time to maturity are positive correlated. (c) To a zero-coupon bond Typically, the negative sign is ignored. This expression implicates that the elasticity of a zero-coupon bond is equal to its time to maturity (t). 2. Duration and elasticities (a) The higher the coupon payments, the ‘heavier’ the left hand side. To get the ‘system on balance’, we have to move the fulcrum to the left. This would lead to a shorter distance and hence a lower duration. And vice versa, the lower the coupon payments, the ‘heavier’ the right hand side. Now, to get the ‘system on balance’, we have to move the fulcrum to the right. This would lead to a longer distance from the origin and hence a higher duration. (b) Based on the preceding formula, the sigh of duration is positive. Modified duration is considered as a direct measure of price sensitivity to interest rate changes. Thus, the relationship of bond prices to interest rates is negative correlation. (C) -108*2.2*0.25%＄-0.594 3. Duration calculations (a) What is the price of the bond? According to the equation , we get the following: t | CF | PV | 0.5 | $25 | $23.95 | 1 | $25 | $22.94 | 1.5 | $25 | $21.97 | 2 | $25 | $21.04 | 2.5 | $25 | $20.15 | 3 | $25 | $19.30 | 3.5 | $25 | $18.49 | 4 | $1,025 | $726.14 | | Price | $873.98 | (b) Calculate and interpret the Macauley Duration for the bond.

To answer questions a, b, and c, carefully study the graph and identify the points that are unattainable, efficient, and inefficient. Be sure to explain how you identified the points in each case. To answer question d, note that the graph shows the trade-off between producing capital goods (machines, tools, and factories) and producing consumption goods (food, clothing, and movies); which of these will add to an economy’s ability to produce in the future? a. Point E is currently unattainable because that point is beyond the line meaning that there are not enough resources to reach that point. b. Points B, C, and D are efficient because the points are on the line in the graph. c. Point A is inefficient because that point is below the line meaning all resources are not being used. d. Point D is likely to have the highest growth rate because there are more consumption goods being used at that point. 2. Refer to Problem 3.7 on page 62 of the Hubbard/O’Brien textbook.

...Text Problem Sets - Week Two Vaughan Thompson FIN/571: Corporate Finance April 22, 2013 Text Problem Sets: FIN/571 - Week Two Chapter Five Question # 4 Define the following terms: bond indenture, par value, principal, maturity, call provision, and sinking fund. Bond indenture. Bond indenture is a legal contract for a publicly traded bond. The structure of this contract outline incentives explicitly by detailing responsibilities, constraints, penalties, and oversight required. For example, contracts may specify interest and principal payment timing and amounts. Par value. Par value denotes face value or designated value of a bond or stock. Par value of a bond is typically $1,000 and the sum investors pay upon issue. It is also the sum received when they redeem the bond matures. Conversely, stock par value is frequently set at $1. In this case, par value is an accounting tool that shows no connection to the stocks’ market value. Principal. The term “principal” refers to a sum of money one borrows or invests. The face amount of a bond - the value printed on a stock or bond, or a debt balance. Principal does not encompass finance charges. Principal also describes an investor represented by a broker who executes trades on that investor’s behalf or an investor who trades for his or her own benefit. Principal also refers to a party affected by an agent’s decisions in a principal-agent relationship. Maturity. Maturity is the end of a bond’s life. In finance, maturity (or...

Opportunity Set With one dollar, you can buy 500 red hots and no rock candies (point A), or 100 rock candies and no red hots (point B), or any combination of red hots and rock candies (any point along the opportunity set line AB). then: Algebraically, if X = quantity of red hots and Y = quantity of rock candies, 0.2 X + 1Y = 100 That is, the money spent on candies, where red hots sell for 0.2 cents a piece and rock candy sells for 1 cent a piece, cannot exceed 100 cents ($1.00). Solving the above equation for X gives: X = 500 − 5Y which is the equation of a straight line, with an intercept of 500 and a slope of −5.

The indifference curves up and to the right indicate greater happiness, since these curves indicate more consumption from both candies. Each curve is negatively sloped, indicating a preference of more to less, and each curve is convex, indicating that the rate of exchange of red hots for rock candies decreases as more and more rock candies are consumed. Note that the exact slopes of the indifference curves in the indifference map will depend an the individual’s utility function and may differ among students. Chapter 1: Problem 2 A.

... Preface Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) Most natural optimization problems, including those arising in important application areas, are NP-hard. Therefore, under the widely believed conjecture that P = NP, their exact solution is prohibitively time consuming. Charting the landscape of approximability of these problems, via polynomial time algorithms, therefore becomes a compelling subject of scientific inquiry in computer science and mathematics. This book presents the theory of approximation algorithms as it stands today. It is reasonable to expect the picture to change with time. The book is divided into three parts. In Part I we cover a combinatorial algorithms for a number of important problems, using a wide variety of algorithm design techniques. The latter may give Part I a non-cohesive appearance. However, this is to be expected – nature is very rich, and we cannot expect a few tricks to help solve the diverse collection of NP-hard problems. Indeed, in this part, we have purposely refrained from tightly categorizing algorithmic techniques so as not to trivialize matters. Instead, we have attempted to capture, as accurately as possible, the individual character of each problem, and point out connections between problems and algorithms for solving them. In Part II, we present linear programming based algorithms. These are categorized under two fundamental techniques: rounding and...
