Chapter 31, Problem 1P

You are a U.S. investor who is trying to calculate the present value of a ∊ [&|euroSer|&]5 million cash inflow that will occur one year in the future. The spot exchange rate is S = $1.25/€ [&|euroSer|&] and the forward rate is F1 = $1.215/ € . You estimate that the appropriate dollar discount rate for this cash flow is 4% and the appropriate euro discount rate is 7%.

  1. a. What is the present value of the ∊[&|euroSer|&]5 million cash inflow computed by first discounting the euro and then converting it into dollars?
  2. b. What is the present value of the ∊[& |euroSer| &] 5 million cash inflow computed by first converting the cash flow into dollars and then discounting?
  3. c. What can you conclude about whether these markets are internationally integrated, based on your answers to parts a and b?

Summary Introduction

To determine: The present value of the cash inflow computed by first discounting the euro and then converting it into dollars.

Introduction: The present value is an amount that an individual makes as an investment at present in order to generate the cash flow in the future. The present value of the cash flows can be computed by adding the cash flow of every stream.

Answer to Problem 1P

The present value of the cash inflow, first discounting and then converting into the dollar is $5,841,121.50.

Explanation of Solution

The given information:

Cash inflow: €5,000,000.

Spot exchange rate: $1.25/€

Forward rate (F1) : $1.215/€

Dollar discounted cash flow rate: 4.00%

Euro discount rate: 7.00%.

The formula for calculating the present value by first discounting the euro and then converting it into dollars is as follows:

Presentvalue=(Cashflow(1+EuroRate))×Spotexchangerate

Calculation of the present value of the cash inflow computed by first discounting the euro and then converting it into dollars is as follows:

For converting it into the dollar, multiply the present value by spot exchange rate as shown below:   

Presentvalue=(Cashflow(1+EuroRate))×Spotexchangerate=(5,000,000(1+7.00%))×1.25= $ 4,672,897.20×1.25= $   5,841,121.50

Therefore, the present value of the cash inflow is $5,841,121.50.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The present value of the cash inflow computed by first converting the cash flow into dollars and then discounting.

Answer to Problem 1P

The present value of the cash inflow, first converting into the dollar and then discounting is $5,841,121.50.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Cash inflow: €5,000,000.

Spot exchange rate: $1.25/€

Forward rate (F1) : $1.215/€

Dollar discounted cash flow rate: 4.00%

Euro discount rate: 7.00%.

The formula for calculating the present value by first converting into cash flow, then into the dollar, and discounting is as follows:

Presentvalue=(Cashflow×Forwardrate(1+Dollar discount Rate))

Calculation of the present value of the cash inflow computed by first converting into cash flow, then into dollar, and discounting is as follows:

For converting the cash flow into the dollar, multiply the cash flow by forward rate as shown below:   

Presentvalue=(Cashflow×Forwardrate(1+Dollar discount Rate))=(5,000,000×1.215(1+5.00%))= 6,075,0001.04= $ 5,841,346.15

Therefore, the present value of the cash inflow is $5,841,346.15.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the markets are internationally integrated, basic of part A and part B.

Answer to Problem 1P

Answer: Yes, the markets are internationally integrated, basic of part A and part B.

Explanation of Solution

Yes, the markets are internationally integrated, basic of part A and part B because, the present value of the cash inflow in part A and part B is approximately identical to each other.

Larry Davis borrows $80,000 at 14 percent interest toward the purchase of a home. His mortgage is for 25 years. a. How much will his annual payments be? (Although home payments are usually on a monthly basis, we shall do our analysis on an annual basis for ease of computation. We will get a reasonably accurate answer.) b. How much interest will he pay over the life of the loan? c. How much should be willing to pay to get out of a 14 percent mortgage and into a 10 percent mortgage with 25 years remaining on the mortgage? Assume current interest rates are 10 percent. Carefully consider the time value of money. Disregard taxes.
You are chairperson of the investment fund for the local closet. You are asked to set up a fund of semiannual payments to be compounded semiannually to accumulate a sum of $250,000 after nine years at a 10 percent annual rate (18 payments). The first payment into the fund is to take place six months from today, and the last payment is to take place at the end of the ninth year. Determine how much the semiannual payment should be. (a) On the day, after the sixth payment is made (the beginning of the fourth year), the interest rate goes up to a 12 percent annual rate, and you can earn a 12 percent annual rate on funds that have been accumulated as well as all future payments into the funds. Interest is to be compounded semiannually on all funds. Determine how much the revised semiannual payments should be after this rate change (there are 12 payments and compounding dates). The next payment will be in the middle of the fourth year.
If your Uncle borrows $60,000 from the bank at 10 percent interest over the seven-year life of the loan, what equal annual payments must be made to discharge the loan, plus pay the bank its required rate of interest? How much of his first payment will be applied to interest? To principal? How much of his second payment will be applied to each?
