You recently were hired as a front line debt collection agent for a debt collection service in Michigan. Your boss assigns you t

o a fairly new client. That client shares with you several items: account ledgers showing overdue balances, checks that "bounced" or were returned for insufficient funds, and a list of dates of purchases. Most of the purchases were made more than 6 years ago. Michigan has a six year statute of limitations for the collection of debt, meaning that after six years, one cannot successfully bring a lawsuit to recover old debt. You talk to your boss who instructs you to go ahead and contact the debtors with the standard letter that offers to settle the outstanding debt for 75% of the amount owed. The letter also indicated that failure to either accept the settlement offer within 20 days, or pay off the full amount after day 20 but before day 45, would result in the filing of a lawsuit to collect the debt. As a new collection agent, you know that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act governs behavior in the industry. Explain why this requested behavior may violate the act.

The spot USD /GBP rate is 1.5711. The1 year t-bill rate in the US is .19%. The 1 year rate in the UK is 0.39%.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Spot USD/GBP rate = 1.5711

(a) 1 year USD/GBP forward rate:

= [Spot rate × (1 + Domestic currency interest rate)] ÷ (1 + foreign currency interest rate)

= [1.5711 × (1+0.19%)] ÷ (1 + 0.39%)

= 1.56797, which means the USD will be at a forward premium

b) The observed 1 year forward rate is 1.60 which differs from the ideal forward rate.

This means an arbitrage opportunity exists here.

c) I would sell GBP forward for 1 year @ 1.60.

This means that I will receive USD 1.60 for every 1 GBP I sell instead of  1.56797 that is the ideal deal.

This is how I would take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity.

You have two job offers. Alpha Firm offers a salary of $40,000 per year with no bonuses, while Beta Firmoffers a base salary of
ozzi

Answer:

$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000.

Explanation:

From the question above, we are given the following parameters; Alpha Firm offers a salary = $40,000 per year + no bonuses, "Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 per year with a 25% chance that you will receive an annual bonus of $10,000".

So, to answer the question,the expected salary of working for Alpha Firm will surely be = $40,000 per year.

At Beta Firm the expected salary is = $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500.

Therefore, if I was risk neutral, the expected value of the year bonus offered by Beta Firm would need to be at least $40,000 for me not to be indifferent to the choice between the two options.
