- You work for a bank that has just made two loans. In one, you lent $900 today in return for $1200 in one year. In the other, you lent $900 today in return for $10000 in 20 years. The difference between the loan amount and repayment amount is based on an interest rate of 8% per year. Imagine that immediately after you make the loans, news about economic growth is announced that increases inflation expectations, so that the market interest rate for loans like these jumps to 10%. Loans make up a major part of a bank’s assets, so you are naturally concerned about the value of these loans. What is the effect of the interest rate change on the value to the bank of the promised repayment of these loans?arrow_forwardThe monetary (currency) unit of another country, A, has a present exchange rate of 10.7 units per U.S. dollar.

If you were to deposit $16,000 at 10.00% per year simple interest in a CD, what compound interest rate would yield the same amount of money in 3 years? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)

- At the start of May, you purchased some shares in Apple (a US company) for $US 43.87, and hedged your position using forward contracts (hedging the purchase value of the shares). The exchange rate at the time of purchase was $US1 = $NZ 2.73, while the one month NZ interest rate was 7.90% and the one month US interest rate was 7.30% (both rates are per annum, with monthly compounding). At the end of May, the exchange rate was $US1 = $NZ 2.78, while the shares were worth $US 41.63. Apple paid no dividends during May.

As part of the refining process, a certain heat exchanger (operated at high temperatures and with abrasive material flowing through it) must be replaced every year. The replacement and downtime cost in the first year is $175,000. This cost is expected to increase due to inflation at a rate of 8% per year for five years, at which time this particular heat exchanger will no longer be needed. If the company’s cost of capital is 18% per year, how much could you afford to spend for a higher quality heat exchanger so that these annual replacement and downtime costs could be eliminated? 2. An electronic device is available that will reduce this year’s labor costs by $10,000. The equipment is expected to last for 8 years.
