I have 2 MAFA practical questions. Please send me the answers through reply.
Question1: A company has a book value per share of R.150. Its return on equity is 15% and it follows a policy of retaining 60% of its earnings. If the opportunity cost of capital is 18%, what is the price of the share today, according to Walter's approach?
Question2:The price of the pound sterling was quoted at $1.80 in New York and on the same date the DM spot rate was quoted at $0.40. (i)What would you expect the price of the pound to be in Germany? (ii)If the pound was quoted in Frankfurt at DM 4.40/pound, what would you do to profit from the situation?
