Suppose 90-day investments in Britain have a 6% annualized return and a 1.5% quarterly (90-day) return. In the U.S., 90-day investments of similar risk have a 4% annualized return and a 1% quarterly (90-day) return. In the 90-day forward market, 1 British pound equals $1.65. If interest rate parity holds, what is the spot exchange rate ($/£)?

A free lunch?: “We will install new HVAC equipment for you, absolutely free!! Just signa three-year contract to split 50/50 any savings the equipment generates on the use of equipment plus pay for a service contract for the equipment’s maintenance. We will takeout the loan for the equipment and installation and pay off the loan with our share of the savings. After three years, the equipment is yours! You’ll only be giving us some of the money you are paying to the power company for electricity. The service contract for the equipment is $15,000 per year, but think of your peace of mind!” Evaluate if this is a free lunch or if there is a catch somewhere based on other financial data available. What data would you need? What evaluation criteria would you choose?

Suppose that the rate of return on the market portfolio is 13% and the risk-free rate is 3%. Consider a
stock with = 1.2. The firm is expected to have no earnings for three years (E1 = E2 = E3 = 0), and
then 20 earnings-per-share for two years (E4 = E5 = 20). After that, earnings are expected to grow at a
constant annual rate of 8%. If the retention ratio (i.e. the fraction of earnings which is retained and not
paid out as dividends) is 75% in all periods, find the fundamental value of the stock. Determine what
would happen to the fundamental value in each of the following cases: (i) the asset falls to 1, (ii) the
earnings growth rate rises to 10%. Treat each case separately, and briefly discuss your findings.
