Question 2
As an investor, what factors would you consider before investing in the emerging stock market of a developing country?
Question 4
Discuss any benefits you can think of for a company to (a) cross-list its equity shares on more than one national exchange, and (b) to source new equity capital from foreign investors as well as domestic investors.
Question 5
Why might it be easier for an investor desiring to diversify his portfolio internationally to buy depository receipts rather than the actual shares of the company?
Question 6

Problem 1
On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Honda Motor Company stock closed at ¥3,945 per share on Thursday, April 11, 2013. Honda trades as an ADR on the NYSE. One underlying Honda share equals one ADR. On April 11, 2013, the ¥/$ exchange rate was ¥99.8270/$1.00.
a. At this exchange rate, what is the no-arbitrage U.S. dollar price of one ADR?
b. By comparison, Honda ADRs traded at $39.97. Do you think an arbitrage opportunity exists?
Problem 2
If Honda ADRs were trading at $44 when the underlying shares were trading in Tokyo at ¥3,945, what could you do to earn a trading profit? Use the information in problem 1 to help you, and assume that transaction costs are negligible.
