- The British pound (GBP) is currently priced at $1.50 and the Swiss Franc (SF) is priced at $0.50, while the quoted cross rate is 1GB =3.50 SF. If you have $1,000, can you make an arbitrage profit? If so, describe the steps required to create the opportunity and show the profit. If there is no arbitrage profit opportunity, describe how you arrived at that decision.A commercial Bank in Zambia has a net profit after taxes of K10 million with an asset base of K100 million. It is also noted that the equity capital investment for the bank amounts to K20 million. Based on the foregoing, calculate the Return on Equity (RoE) and Return on Assets (RoA). Ensure to also comment on the relationship between the two performance parameters ROE and ROA. Distinguish between the short run and long run determinants of exchange rate volatility. In your assessment show how the exchange rate movements can influence the Interest Parity ConditionAssuming the following quotes: Citibank quotes U.S. dollars per pound at $1.5400/£ National Westminster quotes euro per pound at €1.6000/£ Deutsche bank quotes dollars per euro at $0.9700/€ Is there an arbitrage opportunity based on these quotations? If so, show how a market trader with one million $ (1,000.000 $) can make an inter-market arbitrage profit, and calculate that profit.
- Sing Tao wants to import goods for 2.54 million Australian dollar (A$) and pay to Australian exporter, WA Co., in one year. Sing Tao also wants to minimise its exchange rate risk for the payment of A$2.54 million by taking the forward market hedging strategy. Calculate the Chinese yuan (CNY) costs using the forward market hedging strategy based on the information in Table 1. (Enter the whole number without sign and symbol).Credible Research sold a microchip to the Vausten Institute in Germany on credit and invoiced €10 million payable within half a year. Currently, the 6-month forward exchange rate is $1.10/€ and the foreign exchange advisor for Credible Research predicts that the spot rate is likely to be $1.05/€ in 6 months. (i) What would be the expected gain or loss from the forward hedging? (ii) As a decision-maker for Credible Research, would you suggest hedging this euro receivable? Please explain why or why not? (iii) what if the foreign exchange advisor anticipates that the future spot rate will be similar to the forward exchange rate quoted today. As the decision-maker would you propose hedging in this case? If yes or no why?Suppose that California Co., a U.S. based MNC, seeks to capitalize a difference in interest rates between euros and British pounds via the use of a carry trade. In particular, after 1 month, funds invested in euros will yield a 0.50% percent return, while funds invested in pounds will yield a return of 2.00% percent. Currently the spot rate of the British pound is $1.00 while the spot rate of the euro is $0.80. In other words, the pound is worth 1.25 euros. California Co. expects these spot rates to remain constant over the next month. After repaying their euro loan, California Co. has 211,200 pounds remaining. Assume that the exchange rate is still $1.00 per pound. These pounds are equivalent to $ , which represents a profit of $ over the initial $200,000 that California Co. used from their own funds.
