Company A,  wishes to borrow U.S dollars at a fixed rate of interest. Company B, wishes to borrow Japanese yen at a fixed rate of interest. The amounts required by the two companies are roughly the same at the current exchange rate. The companies have been quoted the following interest rates: 

Company X- Yen 4.8%
Company Y-Yen 6.2%

Company X-Dollars 9.5%

Company Y-Dollars 10.0%

Design  a swap that will net a bank, acting as intermediary, 20 basis points per annum. Make a swap appear equally attractive to the two companies and ensure that all foreign exchange risk is assumed by the company X and Company Y.  Also draw the cash flow chart.

(b)Microlin Ltd intends sot introduce a new product, T, into the market. This will require an 

investment in machinery costing Sh. 2,400,000. The machinery is estimated to have a useful 

life of four years with a terminal value of Sh600,000.

Additional information

1. Capital allowances will be provided on the machinery at a rate of 12.5% per annum 

on a balance basis. At the end of the useful life of the machinery, a balancing charge or 

allowance will arise equal to the difference between the scrap proceeds and the tax 

written down value.

2. Annual profits from the sale of product T will amount to Sh960,000 before deducting 

depreciation on machinery.

3. Corporation tax at a rate of 30% is payable one year after the end of the accounting 

year in which the tax was charged.

4. An investment in working capital amounting to Sh.240,000 will be required on 

commencement of the project. 

This amount will however be recovered on completion of the project.

1. The start of the project coincides with the company's financial year.

2. the cost of capital is 15% per annum

Required:

Using the net present value (NPV) approach, advice the management on the suitability of 

the project. (10 marks)

a. If 0.25 mol Na2CO3 completely reacts with excess HCl, how many moles of NaCl and CO2

will be produced, respectively?

b. If 6.02 x 1022 particles of NaBr completely react with excess Ca(OH)2, how many particles of NaOH will be produced?

c. If 204.45 g of NH3 is completed used up in the reaction, how many grams of (NH4)2SO4 will be produced?

d. If 1 mol C5H9O reacts with 2 mol O2, how many mol of CO2 will be produced?

The solubility of ammonium formate,NH4HCO2 , in 100. g of water is 102 g at 0 °C and 546 g at 80 °C. A solution is prepared by dissolving NH4HCO2 in 185 g of water until no more will dissolve at 80 °C. The solution is then cooled to 0 °C. What mass of NH4HCO2 precipitates? (Assume that no water evaporates and that the solution is not supersaturated.)

1. Explain why when I was adding drops of water to a coin, the coin overflowed at eight drops of water  however, when I added a thin layer of dish soap to the coin, the coin overflowed with water after 10 drops of water. Explain this effect in terms of cohesion hydrogen bonding between like molecules, and surface tension.

2. Explain why when I added drops of water with my finger onto a clean ceramic plate, the drops of water just splashed onto the plate and made no shape. However, when I was adding drops of water with my finger onto a plate with a piece of baking paper on it, the drops of waters landed as a perfect circle with no splashes. Explain  the difference in drop shape in terms of adhesion, the formation of hydrogen bonds between molecules of different types and hydrophobic interactions.
