Blackwater Spring and Metal utilizes the same computerized spring-forming machinery in its U.S. and Malaysian plants. The first cost was $750,000 with S = $150,000 after n = 10 years. MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) depreciation with n = 5 years is applied in the United States, and standard SL depreciation with n = 10 years is used by the Malaysian facility.
If the equipment is sold after 6 years for $100,000, calculate the over-and underdepreciation amounts for each method.

Suppose that the current exchange rate is SF1.25/$ and three month forward exchange rate is SF1.30/$. The three-month interest rate is 4 percent per annum in United States and 8 percent per annum in Switzerland. Assume that you can borrow up to $1,000,000 or SF 1,250,000.
a) Is Interest Rate Parity holding?
b) If your answer to part a is no, how would you realize a certain profit via a covered interest arbitrage? Also determine the size of the arbitrage profit.
