Suppose initially that two assets, A and B, will each make a single guaranteed payment of $400 in 1 year. But asset A has a current price of $280 while asset B has a current price of $320. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What are the rates of return of assets A and B at their current prices? Return on assetA =| |percent Return on asset B = percent Given these rates of return, which asset should investors buy and which asset should they sell? Buy asset (Click to solect) v and sell asset (Click to select) b. Assume that arbitrage continues until A and B have the same expected rate of return. When arbitrage ends, will A and B have the same price? (Click to select) Next, consider another pair of assets, C and D. Asset C will make a single payment of $600 in 1 year, while D will make a single payment of $800 in 1 year. Assume that the current price of C is $440 and that the current price of D is $680. c.

If you have the annual worth of an alternative that has a 5-year life, you can obtain its perpetual annual worth by:a. doing no calculations, since perpetual annual worth equals the annual worth.b. multiplying the annual worth by (A/P,i,5).c. dividing the annual worth by i.d. multiplying the annual worth by i.
An investment pays you $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years. The investment will then pay you $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of year 5, and $500 at the end of year 6. If the rate of interest earned on the investment is 8%, what is the present value of this investment? What is its future value? How do you solve this with excel?
If you have the annual worth of an alternative with a 5-year life, you can calculate its perpetual annual worth by: (a) no calculation needed.
