Suppose the spot exchange rate between Brazilian real and euros is S0BRL∕EUR= BRL 2.9488∕EUR. Calculate forward exchange rates at 1-year,2-year, and 3-year horizons under these two scenarios. a. Yield curves in euros and real are flat. Annual Eurocurrency interest rates are iBRL= 5 percent and iEUR= 1 percent for the next several years.
b. The euro yield curve is flat at iEUR= 1.0 percent per year. Brazilian real interest rates are 5.5 percent per year at a 1-year horizon, 5.0 percent at a2-year horizon, and 4.8 percent at a 3-year horizon.

Bank Accounts in Java!
Design and implement a Java program that does the following:
1) reads in the principle
2) reads in additional money deposited each year (treat this as a constant)
3) reads in years to grow, and
4) reads in interest rate
And then finally prints out how much money they would have each year.
See below for formatting.
Enter the principle: XX
Enter the annual addition: XX
Enter the number of years to grow: XX
Enter the interest rate as a percentage: XX
Year 0: $XX
Year 1: $XX
Year 2: $XX
Year 3: $XX
Year 4: $XX
Year 5: $XX

A specialist graphics company is investing in a new machine which enables it to make high quality prints for its clients. Demand for these prints is forecast to be around 50,000 units in year 1 and 80,000 units in year 2. The maximum capacity of each machine the company will buy to process these prints is 60,000 units per year. They have a fixed cost of RM40,000 per year and a variable processing cost of RM0.50 per unit. The company believe they will be able to charge RM2 per unit for producing the prints.

Question 1.
Determine the future worth in year 10 of a cash flow series that starts in year 0 (today) at $25,000 and decreases by 6% per year (through year 10). Use an interest rate of 6%.
Question 2.
Person opens a savings account today. In year 1, she deposited $5,000. She made no deposits in year 2 and 3 and then deposit $2,000 each for years 4 trough 6. Given an interest rate of 4%, how much would she have needed to deposit each year if she made expial payments in years 1 through 6 to have the same amount in the account at the end of year 6?

Acme is trading at $169.80 as of December 31, Year 3. What is the time weighted return for Acme since January 1, Year 1 to today?
a. 21.00%.
b. 21.81%.

A public school district is investigating whether to purchase a new school bus to take over the rural-most route in the district. They have two options:
A modern, eco-friendly bus complete with seat belts and air conditioning, will have a first cost of $95,000, cost savings (in terms of fuel efficiency and maintenance costs) of $20,000/year the first year, and decreasing by $1000 per year thereafter (so $19,000 the second year, 18,000 the third year, etc…). It’s estimated that the salvage value will be $8,000 at the end of its 20 year life.
A more basic bus will have a first cost $70,000, cost savings of $14,000 per year decreasing by $500 per year each year thereafter (so $13,500 the second year, $13,000 the third year, etc.).It is estimated that the salvage value will be $5000 at the end of its 20-year life.
Assume that the school district also has the option to stay with their current fleet (so the do nothing option is also available).
A) Use Benefits to Costs analysis to determine which of the options, if any, would be most economical for the school district if their MARR is 5%.
B) Compute the value of X- i.e., the first cost of the modern bus- that makes the two alternatives in this example equally desirable:
|
Modern |
Basic |
|
|
Cost |
X |
$70,000 |
|
Uniform annual benefit |
$20,000 in year 1, decreasing by $1000/year thereafter |
$14,000 in year 1, decreasing by $500/year thereafter |
|
Salvage value |
$8000 |

The managers of Classic Autos Incorporated plan to manufacture classic Thunderbirds (1957 replicas). The necessary foundry equipment will cost a total of $4,200,000 and will be depreciated using a five-year MACRS life, The sales manager has an estimate for the sale of the classic Thunderbirds. The annual sales volume will be as follows:
Year one: 260 Year four:
350
Year two: 290 Year five: 300
Year three: 360
If the sales price is $28,000 per car, variable costs are $19,000 per car, and fixed costs are $1,400,000 annually, what is the annual operating cash flow if the tax rate is 30%? The equipment is sold for salvage for $500,000 at the end of year five. Net working capital increases by $500,000 at the beginning of the project (year 0) and is reduced back to its original level in the final year. Find the internal rate of return for the project using the incremental cash flows.
1:what is the annual operating cash flow of the project for year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
2: what is the after-tax cash flow of the equipment at disposal?
