(b) 47.91 months, which is 3.99 yrs.

(c) 160.72 months, which is 13.39 yrs.

(d) 164.65 months, which is 13.72 yrs.

(e) None of the above.

(a) 9,023 bonds

(b) 10,000 bonds

(c) 11,485 bonds

(d) 12,713 bonds

(e) 12,768 bonds

(a) ##P_{2.5}=P_0 (1+g)^{2.5} ##

(b) ##P_{2.5}=P_0 (1+r)^{2.5} ##

(c) ##P_{2.5}=P_0 (1+g)^2 (1+r)^{0.5} ##

(d) ##P_{2.5}=P_0 (1+r)^2 (1+g)^{0.5} ##

(e) ##P_{2.5}=P_0 (1+r)^3 (1+g)^{-0.5} ##

Interest expense on debt is tax-deductible, but dividend payments on equity are not. or ?

(a) $71.2986

(b) $62.0921

(e) $53.5612

If the Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to keep its interbank overnight cash rate at 2% pa while the US Federal Reserve is expected to keep its federal funds rate at 0% pa over the next year, is the AUD is expected to , , or remain against the USD over the next year?

(a) All people prefer more rather than less wealth which is rational.

(b) Mr Blue is risk averse, Miss Red is risk neutral and Mrs Green is risk loving.

(c) Mr Blue's certainty equivalent of the gamble is $225. This is less than his current $500 which is why he would dislike the gamble.

(d) Miss Red's certainty equivalent of the gamble is $500. This is the same as her current $500 which is why she would be indifferent to gambling.

(e) Mrs Green's certainty equivalent of the gamble is $793.70. This is more than her current $500 which is why she would like the gamble.

(a) The geometric average of the gross discrete returns (GAGDR) equals 1.04075 which is 104.075%.

(b) ##\exp \left( \text{GAGDR} \right) = \text{AALGDR}##. The natural exponent of the GAGDR equals the arithmetic average of the logarithms of the gross discrete returns (AALGDR).

(c) ##\text{GAGDR}^T = \left( P_T/P_0 \right)##. The GAGDR raised to the power of the number of time period that it's measured over equals the ratio of the first and last prices.

(d) ##\text{GAGDR} = \exp \left( \text{AALGDR} \right)##. This is always true, regardless of the distribution of the prices or returns. The logarithm of the geometric average of the gross discrete returns (LGAGDR) is always equal to the arithmetic average of the logarithm of the gross discrete returns (AALGDR).

(e) ##\text{AAGDR} \approx \exp \left( \text{AALGDR} + \text{SDLGDR}^2/2 \right)##. This is only approximately true and depends on the distribution of the prices and returns. It's asymptotically true as the time period that the returns are measured over reaches infinity.

(a) The number of shares will rise by 2/7 or around 28.5714%.

(b) The share price will fall by 2/7 or around 28.5714%.

(c) If you don't take part in the rights issue and it's non-renounceable, you will lose around $0.6667 per share.

(d) The firm’s market capitalisation of equity will rise by 20/91 or around 21.9780%.

(e) The company will have more cash.
