Suppose you start with buying a stock in £ (equivalent to $100) when the exchange
rate is £1 = $1.5. One year later, the stock price changes to £75, and you sell it. At
the time of the sale, the exchange rate is £1 = $1.6. What is your total percentage
return? What percentage of your return is due to the exchange rate?
Total return = 12.50%; Exchange rate return = 6.67%.
Total return = 20%; Exchange rate return = 7.50%.
Total return = 20%; Exchange rate return = 0.0%.
Total return = 12.50%; Exchange rate return = 7.50%.
Total return = 0.0%; Exchange rate return = 7.50%.
Total return = 20%; Exchange rate return = 6.67%.

Question: You hold a consol that pays a coupon C in perpetuity. The current interest rate is i, and the average expectation in the market is that this will remain unchanged. What will be the price of the consol today?
answer : According to the question we need to calculate the current price of the perpetual consol. Perpetual consoles are priced differently because their expected income is spread through an indefinite period. So, perpetual consoles are priced using the current yield.
The current yield is calculated as:- coupon amountMarket price×100coupon amountMarket price×100
After calculating the current yield price is calculated by the above formula where,
i = Current interest rate
y = yield
so, the price of this consol will be
Price = i/y
I please need the solutions for part b)
question b) In the next period however, the interest rate changes unexpectedly to i . What is the new price of the bond? If…
