A company called Worldwide Development Ltd from Europe, had an electronic software manufacturing plant built for them by Electronic Merchandise Ltd, a company from the United States of America (USA). The amount that Worldwide Development Ltd owes to Electronic Merchandise Ltd for the manufacturing plant is $10,000,000. Worldwide Development Ltd Electronic agreed to pay Electronic Merchandise Ltd six months from now for the manufacturing plant. The current spot rate is €0.8573/$, the three month forward rate is €0.8617/$ and the six month forward rate is €0.8650/$. The annual interest rate is 0.2% in the USA and 2.0% in Europe. Electronic Merchandise Ltd can buy a six-month call or put option on $ at the strike price of €0.8649/$. The premium for put and call options are the same, namely €0.03 per $.

i. Should Electronic Merchandise Ltd enter into a put or call option? (Specify put or call and on what currency in the space provided below.)

ii. Compute the expected total future dollar cost (premium plus strike) of meeting this obligation if the option hedge is entered into by Electronic Merchandise Ltd. Show your workings and the correct answer as follows in the space provided below:

Premium:

Strike price:

Total cost:

One of the following answers will be correct for the total future dollar cost:

a. € 8,952,000.00

b. € 8,949,300.00

c. € 11,865,030.29

d. € 11,862,330.29

1. River Kisigo flows through an area next to a medium sized city into river Rufiji. During recent years, annual floods have damaged homes in its vicinity at an increased' rate. Average annual flood damages have been estimated to be Tshs 180M at present and are expected to increase by Tshs 12M each year. To contain excessive runoff two proposals have been made. One is to do some channel improvement (CI). Another proposal is to build a storage dam and small reservoir (D&R). Initial cost of CI is Tshs 240M and annual maintenance is expected to be Tshs 18M. Initial cost of D&R is Tshs 960M, annual operation and maintenance is estimated to be Tshs 27M. If the CI is made, average annual flood damages are expected to be Tshs 108M at present and to increase by Tshs 7.2M each year. If the D&R is built, average annual flood damages are expected to be reduced to Tshs 18M at present and to increase by Tshs 3M each year. The D&R will remove certain land from agriculture and possible future development. This dis-benefit, valued at Tshs 20M per year, is partially offset by improved recreational fishing valued at Tshs 10M per year. Using an interest rate of 12% and benefit /cost analysis establish which proposal should be chosen. Make your own assumptions regarding the classification of costs and benefits/consequences.

he council wants to construct the facilities that will maximize expected daily usage by the residents of the community subject to land and cost llimitations. The usage, cost, and land data for each facility are listed below. The community has $240,000 construction budget and 24 arces of land. Because the swimming pool and tennis center must be built on the same part ot the land parcel, however, only one of these two facilities can be constructed. Formulate an optimization mode to assist the council in making its decision. Q1)Write out any constraints necessary for this problem in terms of the decision variables defined above. Q2) A very inluential citizens group has made it clear that it strongly prefers the athletic fielld to the gynnasim; thus the council will not approve the gymnasium unless the athletic field is also approved. How can the model be modified to incorporate this condition? Q3) The mayor has deicded that no more than three of the facilities may be constructed wiht funds from this year's budget. How can the model be modified to incorporate this comdition? Please use Solver(EXCEL) to define Q2 and Q3

Suppose that you work for Camden Property Trust (Links to an external site.), a multi-family REIT in the southern US, and that your company wants to add another apartment building to its investment portfolio. After conducting a thorough market analysis, you have narrowed your search to three properties located in different areas in Houston, Texas. All of the properties have a similar number of units, and the units are also similar with regard to mix and sizes. The primary differences is the supply and demand in the different market areas, and the consideration of newer versus older properties

Option 1: The first property is currently built and operating in a middle income area that has a shortage of housing. At this time, the building has no vacancy, but there are some new apartments being built nearby that will soon be competing with this property. This is the oldest property, and will likely be impacted by the new construction in the area that may take away tenants.

Option 2: The second property is currently under construction, and is being sold because the developer has run out of money, and is unable to finish the project. However, it is likely that your firm could complete the building at a favorable per-unit cost. The market area is close to equilibrium, but with some excess supply, and the completion of this property would add even more. However, it would be a new building – something that is often attractive to potential tenants.

Option 3: The third property currently has a relatively high vacancy rate. However, the market area has become an increasingly desirable area to live and demand is expected to grow. There is also little threat of new competition here because there are no sites available to build additional apartment complexes. Given these vacancy considerations, which property would you choose? Are there other investment factors that may be impacted by these considerations?

Which of these risks would most likely be a diversifiable risk for investors?

A. The US dollar strengthens, making exports more expensive for non-US customers

B. Congress passes legislation that raises the corporate tax rate.

C. A hurricane damages factories near the Gulf Coast.

D. The Federal Reserve increases the interest rate.

What is the current in a wire of radius R = 3.58 mm if the magnitude of the current density is given by (a) Ja = J0r/R and (b) Jb = J0(1 - r/R) in which r is the radial distance and J0 = 5.08 × 10^4 A/m^2? (c) Which function maximizes the current density near the wire’s surface?
