Suppose that Denver Financial Co. expects the exchange rate of the New Zealand dollar (NZ$) to appreciate from its current level of 0.5 to 0.55 in 30 days. Denver Financial seeks to capitalize on this potential opportunity.
Suppose that Denver Financial begins by borrowing $30,000,000 and converting it to New Zealand dollars (NZ$).
The following table shows the short-term interest rates (annualized) in the interbank market.

(Adjusted for 30-day period) |
|
| U.S. Dollars | 6.62% | 7.10% |
| New Zealand Dollars (NZ$) | 6.38% | 6.86% |
Suppose that Denver Financial’s initial loan of $30,000,000 must be repaid with a rate of 0.0059 after 30-days.
Hint: Assume 360 days in a year.
Thus, at the end of 30-days, Denver Financial must repay a total of $(33,195,250, or 36,213,000, or 30,177,500, or 39,230,750) (U.S. dollars) from the initial loan. In New Zealand dollars, at the new predicted 0.55 spot rate, this repayment would be equivalent to NZ $(38,407,727.27, or 54,868,181.82, or 49,381,363.64, or 43,894,545.46) (New Zealand dollars).
The bold are the option choices and could you please explain, thank you.

Company Y's management is evaluating a piece of machinery that costs $1.5 million. This machine will replace an existing, old machine that is fully depreciated (book value is zero) and could be sold today for $500,000. The old machine could continue operating for another 10 years at which time it would have no salvage value.
The new machine has the same production capacity as the old machine, but operating costs will be lower each year by $200,000. The new machine will require an additional $100,000 in increased working inventory for its operations. The new machine is expected to have a life of 10 years. It is to be depreciated fully (down to zero) over ten years, using the straight line method. It will have no salvage value at the end of 10 years.
Company Y is profitable and expects to continue paying taxes at 35%.
6. The time-zero cash flow from replacing the old machine with the new machine is a net outflow of
7. The recurring annual cash flow from replacing the old machine with the new machine is a net inflow of
