Solved in 2 steps
- 1. Will US$/C$ futures exchange rate go up or down? 2. Will US$/C$ spot exchange rate go up or down?A futures contract will mature in one time step. The current return over one time-step is R = 1.01 and the underlying asset of the future contract is currently worth $27 and has up factor u = 1.1 and down factor d = 0.9. The margin account for the short side of this futures contract currently holds $16. How much will the margin account hold when the futures contract matures if the underlying asset increases in value?Suppose that you purchase a Treasury bond futures contract at $95 per $100 of face value.

- This is part a) question and it's answer in order to answer part b) question 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…Explain what a first-to-default credit default swap is.

- This question is about futures risk premia. Consider a two period economy.You can buy stocksin period 0, and then sell them in period 1. You can also enter into futures contracts in period 0, whichexpire in period 1. Since buying single-stock futures appears to be a fairly profitable trade, you decide toinvest in a futures strategy. You enter a long futures contract position. You also invest cash in period 0 at the risk-free rate, so you have just enough topay for the futures contract at expiration. You plan to sell the stock just after expiration. What is theexpected return on this trading strategy (in terms of expected period-1 dollars you get, per period-0dollar invested)?Suppose that the spot price of the euro is currently $1.10. The 1-year futures price is $1.15. Is the interest rate higher in the United States or the euro zone?What are the upper bonds for European call and put? How can you arbitrage (form a zero dollar portfolio) if the price of an European call or put is above the the upper bond?
