Suppose you purchased a common stock in the United States for USD22.50 and sold it for USD28.10. If the USD depreciated (or the Australian dollar appreciated) during that time from AUD 1 = USD 0.91 to AUD 1 = USD 0.96, what is the Australian dollar (percentage) return on the investment over the holding period? Express your answer to the nearest basis point. For this problem, we will consider Australia to be the home country.

Calculate the terminal value of the Canopy project in 2003 and the adjusted free cash flow value for 2003.
Most economies have a goal of maximizing the average consumption per period. Assume that during each year, an economy saves the same (to be determined) percentage S of its production. During a year in which the beginning capital level is K, a quantity K1y2 of capital is produced. If the economy saves a percentage S of its capital, then during the current year it consumes (1 2 S)K units of capital and, through savings, adds (SK) 1y2 units of capital. Also, during any year, 10% of all capital present at the beginning of the year depreciates or wears out. a. What annual savings percentage S maximizes the long-run average consumption level? Assume that year 50 represents the long run, so that the objective is the consumption level in year 50. You can assume the initial capital is 1 (for some appropriate measurement unit). b. Use SolverTable to see how the optimal value of S depends on the annual depreciation rate.
You are International Business Manager at a UK based company. Your company has identified USA and Europe as potential markets and wish to expand asap and plans a full-scale expansion.

This question assumes the standard mean-variance utility function. You are allocating your investments between a the NZX50 and a holding of (New Zealand) T-bills. The expected return on the NZX50 is 7.50%, with volatility 12.80%. In contrast, there is no risk investing in T-bills, and they will earn you a return of 4.70%. Your risk-aversion is 7. What percentage of your wealth should you allocate to Treasury bills? 34.61% 96.88% 96.51% 75.59%
Carambola de Honduras. Slinger Wayne, a U.S.-based private equity firm, is trying to determine what it should pay for a tool manufacturing firm in Honduras named Carambola. Slinger Wayne estimates that Carambola will generate a free cash flow of 12 million Honduran lempiras (Lp) next year, and that this free cash flow will continue to grow at a constant rate of 7.5% per annum indefinitely. A private equity firm like Slinger Wayne, however, is not interested in owning a company for long, and plans to sell Carambola at the end of three years for approximately 10 times Carambola's free cash flow in that year. The current spot exchange rate is Lp14.5049/$, but the Honduran inflation rate is expected to remain at a relatively high rate of 15.5% per annum compared to the U.S. dollar inflation rate of only 5.5% per annum. Slinger Wayne expects to earn at least a 23.5% annual rate of return on international investments like Carambola. a. What is Carambola worth if the Honduran lempira were to…
