PLEASE ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS PLEASE.
1A.) What is the forward price (formula) for an asset that provides no income using the parameters of S0 , risk-free rate r (annual rate with continuous compounding), and time to maturity of T? Using this formula, if the spot market price of gold is given as 1715 per ounce, the risk-free rate is 1% per annum with continuous compounding, and two years to maturity, what is the fair price for a two-year forward contract?

b.) What is the forward price (formula) for an index that provides a dividend yield of q, with a current market price of S0 , risk-free rate r (annual rate with continuous compounding), and time to maturity of T? Using this formula, if the current market price of an index is 2868, the risk-free rate is 1% per annum with continuous compounding, a dividend yield of 2% per year, and two years to maturity, what is the fair price for a two-year forward contract?

C.) What is the valid forward price range (formula) for a consumption asset that requires a storage cost of U paid up front, with a current market price of S0 , risk-free rate r (annual rate with continuous compounding), and time to maturity of T? Using this formula, if the current market price of crude oil is $25, the risk-free rate is 1% per annum with continuous compounding, a storage cost of $5 per year, and one year to maturity, what is the fair price range for a one-year forward contract? If the one-year forward contract price is $50 per barrel, is there an arbitrage opportunity? If so, what actions do you want to take
and what’s the associated profit?

2.A.) Describe how an interest rate swap works. In addition, if your company is
concerned that interest rate might go up and wants to take advantage of today’s low interest rate, will you choose a pay-fixed-and-receive-floating-rate swap or a pay-floating-and-receive-fixed-rate swap?
B.) Describe how a currency swap works. In addition, if your company wants to obtain 100 million Euros this year to invest for the coming five years and will end the project after five years, how would you design the swap contract?
C.) Describe how a credit default swap works. In addition, if we bought corporate bonds on TSLA, how can we use a CDS to protect our position?

Answer #1 A-C. Pertaining to options. Please. #2 is about SWAPS. It would be greatly apprciated

HL Construction Co. plans to replace one of its manufacturing equipment for a newer more technology-advance one. The new equipment has a purchase price of $8,000 and will be depreciated as a 7-year class for MACRS. Installation costs for the new equipment are $200. It is estimated that this equipment can be sold in 4 years (end of project) for $5,000. This new equipment is more efficient than the existing one and thus savings before taxes using the new equipment are $4,000 a year. Because of the advance technology of new equipment, there will be a reduction in inventory of $400 today and which will be reverted at the end of the project in year 4. This existing equipment was purchased 2 years ago at a base price of $3,000. Installation costs at the time for this old equipment were $100. The existing equipment is considered also 7-year class for MACRS. The existing equipment can be sold today for $1,000 and for $0 in 4 years.
