A
V= D/ K
Where
V= value
D = dividend in next year
K = required rate of return

Question 5
Total 10000 ounces
Price= 1250
Spot price= 1100
Purchase cost= 10000 * 1250 = 12500000
Dragon motors can now buy the contract currently at 1100 that is
10000 * 1100 = 11000000

Profit or loss incurred =
10,000 × ($1,250 − $1,100) = $1,500,000
The cost in the spot market plus the loss in the futures markets gives a total cost of $12,500,000.
Question 6
A
Cost of car = 150000
Interest rate = 9 %
Sum need to be set aside = FV = PV * [1+ (I / n)] (n* t)
= 104792.12

of 104792.12 aside today.
B
Amount to be paid yearly = 12000
Interest rate = 7 %
Money need to set aside is
FV = PV * [1+ (I / n)] (n* t)
FV = 12000 * [1 + (0.07/ 4)]
FV= 53279.32
This simply means that for covering the fees, the person need to keep aside 53279 today so that
they can cover the cost or future.
