Answer:
Lenders loose and borrowers gain
Explanation:
Whenever inflation increases the value of money falls and technically erodes interest rates (hence real interest rate falls although nominal rate stays the same)
In the scenario, if the inflation rate rises to 5.5%, then the real interest rate falls further from 1.5% to (5.75% - 5.5%) 0.25%, demonstrating that the lender is loosing further.
Contrarily, the borrower will technically be paying lesser interest to the lender because he will be paying lesser money in value to the lender both in terms of interest and principal

Explanation:
We will use the formula below to calculate the enterprise value of Correct inc.
Enterprise value = Market value capital and debts - Cash and investments
= 100 million diluted shares × 37.50 per share + $1 billion of debt outstanding - $100 million cash
= $3750m + $1000m - $100m
= $4,650,000,000.
Answer:
alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure
Explanation:
Alitalia can construct the money market hedge as follows
1. borrow Euro whose present value is equal to the amount to be paid.
2. convert it to foreign currency at the current spot rate.
3. place it in a deposit
4. make the payment when the deposit reaches maturity
PV of payment = 10000000/1.05
= 9523809.525
converting in to Euro at the spot rate we get 6802721.09 Euros
so Alitalia has to borrow the above amount and convert it and invest it at 5%.
now the payable amount from the loan is 6802721.09(1+0.03) = 7006802.72 Euros
Hence Alitalia has effective managed to locl in a forward rate of 1.427$/euros (10000000/7006802.72)$/euros
Therefore, alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure
Answer:
37.5%
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the Value of the cash return on asset
We use a mathematical representation to do this. Let’s get the formula.
Mathematically:
Cash return on assets = operating cash flows/average total assets
According to the question, the operating cash flow has a value of $150,000. The average total assists have a value of (350,000+450,000)/2 = 800,000/2 = $400,000
We input these values into the formula:
Cash return on assets = 150,000/400,000 = 37.5%
