A trader collects the below information to devise his forex management strategy during
the next year:
Spot Rate of USD: INR 74.40
Interest rates in USA: 2.5%
Interest rates in India: 6.5%
a) What is Interest Rate Parity Theory? What will be the expected exchange rate in the above
case, if the interest rate parity theory is assumed to hold good. Also calculate the forward
premium or discount.
b) What is covered interest arbitrage? If there is a one-year forward contract available at
INR 75.60, is there a CIA possible, and if yes, write the steps to earn arbitrage profit (use
an equivalent amount of INR 1000000)
Plot on the same figure the calculated acceleration and the classification variable ds mapping
against time. Use left side y-axis and a line style to plot the acceleration. Use right side
y-axis to illustrate the driving style classification. Hint: You may use plotyy to complete this
task. Add labels to all axes. Add legend to the figure.
Driving Style: Normal, Acceleration = 0.70 m/s2
Driving Style: Economic, Acceleration = -2.30 m/s2
Driving Style: Economic, Acceleration = 2.31 m/s2
Driving Style: Economic, Acceleration = -3.30 m/s2
Driving Style: Economic, Acceleration = 3.31 m/s2
Driving Style: Agressive, Acceleration = -8.50 m/s2
Ds mapping
NORMAL = 2;
ECONOMIC = 5;
AGGRESSIVE=8;
The screen of a pinhole camera is a square, of side 0.16m and it is 0.15m behind the pinhole. The camera is placed11m from a flag staff and positioned. The image occupies three-quaters of the height of screen. What is the height of the flag staff? What is the disadvantage of a pinhole camera compared to a lens camera.
Calculate the chemical shift in parts per million for a proton that has resonance 128 Hz downfield from TMS on a spectrometer that operates at 60 Mhz
Use a graph to explain how the equimarginal principle can be applied to minimise production costs
Create variable ds mapping to store corresponding classification values of 1,2 or 3, which represent different driving style as shown in Table 1. You need to evaluate only the magnitude the of the acceleration/deceleration. If the acceleration value is outside the defined ranges assign 0 as its classification.
Table 1 (4 by 2)
Driving style Economic (1) Normal (2) Aggressive (3)
Acceleration magnitude [m/s2 ] 0.7-2.3 2.31-3.30 3.31-8.5
Economic (1)
0.7-2.3
Normal (2)
2.31-3.30
Aggressive (3)
3.31-8.5
What is contigent valuation and what are the potential problems of this method?
Use the battery voltage and current data imported to calculate the battery power P as follows P = UI where P is the battery power [W], U is the battery voltage [V] and I is the battery current [A]
battery voltage in V [Pack Volts]
battery current in A [Pack Amps]
for the following pair of equations determine algebraically the equilibrium price and output Q=6-p, QS=3P-2
You are planning to prepare “salami-and-cheese sandwiches” for your friends. You need to slice the salami you bought for this purpose, and you will buy cheese in grams and bread in packages, each containing 24 loaves which are approximately 10 cm x 10 cm squares. You have adjusted the food slicer to cut 2.0 mm thick slices from the 0.18 m long salami you bought that is 100 mm in diameter.
a) How many bread packages do you need to buy if each “salami-and-cheese sandwich” contains three slices of salami? (Hint: Your limiting reagent is salami)
b) You decided to add one 2.0 mm thick cheese slice to each sandwich from a cheese block which is a prism with a 3.5 in x 3.5 in square base. How much cheese (in grams) do you need to buy if its density is 1.093 g/cm3?
