Answer:
Premium = $5.76 -$5.51 = 0.25
Percentage of premium = 0.25/5.76 x 100
= 4.34% premium
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
This is an indirect quote in which dollar is fixed and shekels is variable. In order to obtain the 180-day forward rate, premium of $0.25 has been deducted. In indirect quote, premium is deducted from the spot rate in order to determine the forward rate ie $5.76 - $0.25 = $5.51. The percentage of premium is calculated as premium divided by spot rate multiplied by 100.
1. The rate of return for each year is 4.05%
<span>2010 $100 $4 => 4%
2011 $110 $4 => 3.6%
2012 $90 $4 => 4.4%
2013 $95 $4 => 4.2%
Average is 4.05%
2. The dollar-weighted rate of return is
-3(4%) - 2(3.6%) + 1(4.4%) + 4(4.2%)
14.75%</span><span /><span>
