1) Derivatives derive their value from underlying assets and are used for hedging, speculating, arbitrage, and diversification.
2) Common derivatives include forwards, futures, swaps, and options. Forwards are customized OTC contracts while futures are exchange-traded with standardized terms.
3) Interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and other swap agreements involve exchanges of cash flows between counterparties.
This document discusses equity swaps, which allow two parties to exchange cash flows from different assets. Specifically, it can involve exchanging cash flows from an equity index for those from a short-term interest rate benchmark. Equity swaps provide benefits like managing portfolio risk, taking long or short positions synthetically, and aligning investments with risk appetite. As an example, a fund manager may receive equity index returns and pay a floating rate linked to LIBOR in an equity swap trade with a bank dealer seeking to reduce equity exposure. The swap spread is set so the present values of cash flows from both sides are equal at inception.
1. The document is a sample paper containing 67 multiple choice questions about mutual funds. It covers topics like mutual fund types, regulations, risks and returns, performance evaluation, financial planning and asset allocation.
2. The questions test understanding of concepts like open-ended vs closed-ended funds, fund regulations set by SEBI, benchmarks used to evaluate performance, and strategies for different investor lifecycles.
3. The sample paper is a useful study guide for anyone looking to learn more about mutual funds and how to advise investors on choosing appropriate funds and asset allocations.

Futures and forwards are contracts that require deferred delivery of an underlying asset or cash settlement at a future date. A future is a standardized contract traded on an exchange, while a forward is a customized over-the-counter contract. Forwards are useful when futures do not exist for certain commodities/financials or when standard futures terms do not match needs. Forwards involve counterparty risk while futures involve clearinghouse guarantees.

A hedge is an investment position intended to offset potential losses/gains that
may be incurred by a companion investment. In simple language, a hedge is
used to reduce any substantial losses/gains suffered by an individual or an
organization.
A hedge can be constructed from many types of financial instruments, including
stocks, exchange-traded funds, insurance, forward contracts, swaps, options,
many types of over-the-counter and derivative products, and futures contracts.
Public futures markets were established in the 19th century[1] to allow
transparent, standardized, and efficient hedging of agricultural commodity
prices; they have since expanded to include futures contracts for hedging the
values of energy, precious metals, foreign currency, and interest rate
fluctuations.

Question 1 (17 marks)HiSpeed Ltd. plans to manufacture cross-cou.docxamrit47
Question 1 (17 marks)
HiSpeed Ltd. plans to manufacture cross-country skiing equipment. Its cash flows are highly dependent on the weather in early winter. HiSpeed operates under ideal conditions of uncertainty. On August 1, 2014, the beginning of its first year in business, HiSpeed acquires equipment to be used in its operations. The equipment will last two years, at which time its salvage value will be zero. The company finances the equipment purchase by issuing common shares.
HiSpeed’s annual net cash flows will be $800 if the weather is snowy and $300 if it is not snowy. Assume that cash flows are received at year end. In each year, the objective probability that the weather is snowy is 0.7 and 0.3 that it is not snowy. The interest rate in the economy is 3% in both years.
HiSpeed will pay a dividend of $50 at the end of each year of operation.
Required
a. (9 marks)
In 2014, the weather is snowy. Prepare a statement of financial position as at July 31, 2015, the end of HiSpeed’s first year of operations, and an income statement for the year.
b. (2 marks)
What timing of revenue recognition is implicit in the income statement you have prepared in part (a)? When ideal conditions do not hold, is this timing of revenue recognition relevant? Is it reliable? Explain.
c. (6 marks)
Assume that HiSpeed paid the present value you calculated in part (a) for its equipment. Calculate HiSpeed’s net income for the year ended July 31, 2015 on a historical cost basis, assuming that equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. Under the more realistic assumption that ideal conditions do not hold, which measure of net income is most relevant? Which is most reliable? Why?
Question 2 (18 marks)
Prem has $2,000 that he wishes to invest for one year. He has narrowed his choices down to one of the following two actions:
i: Buy bonds of X Ltd., a company that has a very high debt-to-equity ratio. These bonds pay 8% interest, unless X defaults, in which case Prem will receive no interest but will recover his principal. (a1)
ii: Buy Canada Savings Bonds, paying 3% interest. (a2)
Prem assesses the prior probability of X Ltd. defaulting as 0.40. His utility for money is given by the square root of the amount of his net payoff. That is, if he buys the Canada Savings Bonds, his net payoff is $60, yielding utility of √60 = 7.75, and so on. Prem is a rational decision maker.
Required
a. (4 marks)
Based on his prior probability calculations, which action should Prem take? Show your calculations.
b. (9 marks)
Before making a final decision, Prem decides he needs more information. He obtains X Ltd.’s current financial statements and examines its times-interest-earned ratio. This ratio can be either high or low. Upon calculating the ratio, Prem observes that it is low. On the basis of his prior experience in bond investments, Prem knows the following conditional probabilities:

CSX wanted to merge with Conrail to gain operating efficiencies and increase revenue. The merger would give CSX over $8.5 billion in rail revenue and 70% of the Eastern market.

Norfolk Southern made a hostile bid for Conrail due to concerns that allowing the CSX-Conrail merger would negatively impact its business and potentially force it from the market. In a bidding war, each bidder should be willing to pay the maximum that the merger is worth to their company minus the costs of continuing to bid against competitors.
