Suppose the dollar interest rate and the pound sterling interest rate are the same, 6 percent per year. What is the relation between the current equilibrium dollar/pound exchange rate and its expected future level? O A. Expected dollar/pound exchange rate is higher than the current one. O B. Expected dollar/pound exchange rate is lower than the current one. C. Expected dollar/pound exchange rate is equal to the current one. O D. One cannot tell given the information above. Suppose the expected future exchange rate, $1.44 per pound, and the US interest rate remain constant, while Britain's interest rate rises to 8 percent per year. What is the new equilibrium dollar/pound exchange rate? New equilibrium exchange rate is $ per pound. (Enter your response to the nearest penny.)

Suppose the risk free rate in pounds (£) is 2.67% and the risk free rate in US dollars ($) is 5.03%. The current £ to $ exchange rate is 1.43 (so £1 can be exchanged for $1.43 with the money exchanged right now). You and a broker want to agree an exchange rate now for a £ to $ conversion, but where the money will be exchanged in precisely 30 months time. What exchange rate (£ to $) should you and your broker use to ensure there is no arbitrage?

Solve all questions , otherwise I will give you downvote CIP stands for covered interest parity. Solve for blank. According to CIP, 1. if i_$=5%, i_yen=10%, current exchange rate is 100 yen/$, then forward exchange rate would be ____ yen/$. 2. if i_$=5%, i_yen=10%, forward exchange rate is 100 yen/$, then current exchange rate is ____ yen/$. 3. if i_$=5%, current exchange rate is 110 yen/$, forward exchange rate is 100 yen/$, then i_yen= ____ %. (if your answer is 8%, you can put 8 in the blank, not 0.08). 4. US interest rate is i_$=20%. An investor is indifferent between putting $ savings in US saving account, or converting their $ savings into euro, buy a DaVinci painting, hold on to the Painting for one year, sell it at the end of the year for euro, and convert euro back to $. If the painting is expected to appreciate 15% over the next year, then euro is expected to appreciate ____% relative to $ over the same year.
