Sambuka, Inc. can issue annual coupon bonds in either U.S. dollars or in Euros that mature in threeyears. Dollar-denominated bonds would have a coupon rate of 5 percent; Euro-denominated bonds would have a coupon rate of 4 percent. Assuming that Sambuka can issue bonds worth $10,000,000 in US dollars or 8 million Euros, given that the current exchange rate is $1.25/1 Euro. If the forecasted exchange rate for the Euro is $1.21for each of the next three years what is the annual cost of financing for the Euro-denominated bonds? Which type of bond should Sambuka issue?

Suppose you (U.S. investor) purchase a 5-year, AA-rated Euro bond for par that is paying an annual coupon at the rate equal to 8 percent. The bond has a face value of 1,000 Euros. The spot exchange rate at the time of purchase is USD1.15/EUR. At the end of the year 1, the bond is upgraded to AAA-rated and the yield changes to 7.5% per annum continuous compounding. In addition due to changes in macroeconomic environment, the exchange rate also changed to USD1.25/EUR. Assume that a U.S. investor holds this bond for one year and sells it in the market at the end of year 1. EUR is the abbreviation for Euro and USD is the abbreviation for U.S. dollar. What is the overall gain / loss in U.S. dollars for the U.S. investor at the end of year 1 (t = 1 year)? (Roundoff your answer to four decimal places, in order to get as accurate answer as possible on Canvas. If your answer is -$1.2345, loss of $1.2345, then type your answer as -1.2345.)
Mr James Lucky, a British investor, is considering a five-year investment on zero-coupon government bonds. Currently, the annual yield to maturity of British, German and Chinese zero-coupon government bonds maturing in five years is 3%, 5% and 7%, respectively. The spot exchange rate between the GBP and the Euro is £:€ = 1.18, while between the GBP and the CNY is £:CNY = 8.58. According to Mr Lucky's forecasting models, the spot exchange rates are expected to be £:€ = 1.37 and £:CNY = 8.25 in three years from today. %3D Which of the three bonds would provide the highest cumulative return for Mr Lucky over the next five years, if the exchange rate forecasts turn out to be correct? Provide all your workings and full calculations, when answering this question. ii) What is the GBP to CNY rate (three-year) forecast that would make Mr Lucky indifferent between investing in either the British or the Chinese bond today?
