Assume that the following spot exchange rates exist today: £1 = $1.50 C$1 = $0.75 £1 = C$2 Assume no transaction costs. Based on these exchange rates, can triangular arbitrage be used to earn a profit on $100,000? Explain all intermediate transactions involved.

Suppose the Japanese yen exchange rate is ¥122 = $1 and the British pound exchange rate is £1 = $1.53. Suppose the cross-rate is ¥140 = £1. If there is, what would be the profit of the mispricing?

Ganado Europe (B). Using facts in the chapter for Ganado Europe, assume as in Problem 11.1 that the exchange rate on January 2, 2020, in Exhibit 11.5 dropped from $1.2000 = €1.00 to $0.9000 = €1.00 (Rather than to $1.000/€). Recalculate Ganado Europe’s translated balance sheet for January 2, 2020, with the new exchange rate using the temporal rate method. What is the amount of translation gain or loss? Where should it appear in the financial statements? Why does the translation loss or gain under the temporal method differ from the loss or gain under the current rate method?

Use the information below to answer the following question.   Exchange Rate - Bid Exchange Rate - Ask Interest Rate APR S0($/€) $ 1.42 = € 1.00 $ 1.45 = € 1.00 i$ 4 % F360($/€) $ 1.48 = € 1.00 $ 1.50 = € 1.00 i€ 3 % If you had borrowed $1,000,000, traded them for euros at the spot rate, and invested those euros in Europe, how many euros do you receive in one year?

If the real exchange rates between the USD and CAD, AUD, and BRL respectively are 1.20, 0.90, and 1.40 respectively with the percentage of trade between the US and Canada, US and Australia, and US and Brazil are 50%, 20%, and 30% respectively (assuming these are only countries on the planet!), what is the effective real exchange rate for the USD?   Question options:   a)0.9     b)1.4     c)1.2     d)1.0

Suppose that in the Moscow interbank market one ruble corresponds to 0.0135 euros and 1.5 yen, while in the Tokyo interbank market 100 yen equals 0.8 euros. Consider whether there is a possibility of Triangular Arbitrage.

What is the no-arbitrage one-year USD/EUR forward exchange? b. Suppose the one-year USD/EUR forward exchange was 1.25$/ €. How could you make money from this situation? 4

Consider the following table. There are two countries and two goods. Assume both countries have the same price table: Time t t+1 P1 $8 $10 P2 $4 $5   a. Assume commodity price parity. What is the foreign currency price of the two goods at the two points in time? What is the domestic inflation rate? What is the foreign inflation rate. b. Suppose PPP is known to hold as is covered interest parity between two countries. What determines any differences between the expected real returns on risk free interest bearing assets in the two countries?

Suppose quotes for the dollar–euro exchange rate E$/€ are as follows: in New York $1.05 per euro, and in Tokyo $1.15 per euro. Describe how investors use arbitrage to take advantage of the difference in exchange rates. Explain how this process will affect the dollar price of the euro in New York and Tokyo.
