1. Suppose Unilever knows it will need to borrow money in 4 months for a 8- month period, it risks interest rate increases by waiting 4 months to borrow. Then what’s the appropriate forward forward rate if we are given conditions: LIBOR4 = 6.5%, LIBOR12 = 6.95% ?

2. Pick two companies and track their stocks for three trading days (not weekends or holidays). You can find their stock information on the internet or in a newspaper. Tell me: the company’s name, their symbol, what stock market they are trading on, their high and low for the past year, what their dividend per share was last year, their closing price each day and what their price earnings ratio was for those days (show the calculation).
