Which of the following statements is (are) TRUE? Select one or more alternatives: If the AUD trades at a forward premium relative to the NZD, we would expect the NZD risk-free rate to be higher than the AUD risk-free rate. If the 1-year AUD risk-free rate is higher than the 1-year NZD risk-free rate then the value of the NZD will rise relative to the AUD over the next year. Assuming it doesn't hedge, a New Zealand based company importing Australian products will suffer if the value of the AUD rises relative to the NZD. □ If covered interest rate parity holds, then uncovered interest rate parity must also hold.

A rich, friendly, and probably slightly unbalanced benefactor offers you the opportunity to invest $1 million today in two mutually exclusive ways. The payoffs are: $2 million after 1-year, a 100% return; or $300,000 a year forever. Neither investment is risky, and safe securities are yielding 7%. Which investment should you take? You can’t take both, so the choices are mutually exclusive. Should you want to earn a high percentage, or should you want to be rich? Applying the net present value method and the internal rate of return method should help to guide you in your decision. And, the present value of a perpetuity is equal to the cash payment divided by the interest rate. Earn a high percentage. Be rich.
