A speculator is considering the purchase of one three-month put option on USD with a strike price of 97 yen per U.S. dollar. The premium is 0.24 yen per U.S. dollar. The current spot price is 107.81 yen per U.S. dollar and the 90-day forward rate is 71.46 yen/USD. The speculator believes the USD will depreciate to $1.00 versus 93 yen over the next three months. As the speculator’s assistant, you have been asked to prepare the followings: 1. Graph the profit/loss diagram of the put option in an Excel spreadsheet. 2. Determine the speculator’s profit if the USD depreciates to 93 yen/USD. 3. Determine the speculator’s profit/loss if the USD depreciates to the forward rate. 4. Determine the future spot price at which the speculator will only break even.

Suppose the nomianal interest rate for 1-year borrowing and lending in the U.S (i$) is currently 5%,while the nominal interest rate on 1 -year borrowing and leading in the U.K (1£) is 3%. Suppose,too, that nominal British pound/U.s. dollar exchange rate is to be £1.60/$ next year (i.e-1(£/$)e= £1.60/$).

A.According to the theory of Interest Rate Parity, what is the current equilibrium nominal exchange rate between the pound and the dollar (E0(£/$))?

B. All else equal, if the U.S. interest rate increased to 8%, what would be the new equilibrium

exchange rate?

C.All else equal (i.e. with both i$and E eat their initial levels), if the U.K. interest rate increased to 8%, what would the new equilibrium exchange rate be?

This needs to be a python3 code

Write a program that prompts the user like this: “Currency to convert to U.S. dollars: e = Euros, c= Chinese Yuan, r = Indian Rupees, b = Bitcoin: ”. Then depending on which letter the user enters, the program displays “Amount of Euros/Yuan/Rupees/Bitcoin to convert: ”. (Note: the second prompt should only name the one currency the user asked to convert, not all four currencies.) After the user enters the amount, the program displays “In U.S. dollars, that is $N”, (N is the amount converted to U.S. dollars).
Conversion rates (from Google, Aug 25, 2019):
• 1 Euro = 1.11 US dollar • 1 Chinese yuan = 0.14 US dollar • 1 Indian rupee = 0.014 US dollar • 1 Bitcoin = 10283.00 US dollar

An analyst is trying to value Jason’s Specialties (JS) stock. The analyst has collected data from the company and other sources to prepare the below financials, both actual and projected. Based upon these sources, the analyst expects the company’s free cash flows to grow at 4% on average. The analyst has estimated the company’s cost of capital (WACC) to be 16% and its cost of equity to be 21%. The risk-free rate is 2.3%..

1. Which items listed under Current Assets and Current Liabilities are typically excluded from NOWC? What is JS’s NOWC in years 2019 and 2020?
2. Compute the firm’s FCF (free cash flow) for year 2020.
3. Find the value of the firm using DCF method and price per share assuming that there are 10,000,000 shares issued and outstanding.
4. Find the value of the firm using ECF method and price per share assuming that there are 10,000,000 shares issued and outstanding
5. What is the External Financing Needed for year 2020? Explain your calculation
6. Suppose that the firm's probability of bankruptcy is estimated to be 5% and the economic loss associated with bankruptcy is likely to amount to $55,000,000. What valuation method would allow you to take this into account? Describe briefly how you would implement it (you do not have enough information to actually do the calculations, so no need to try).
