- If the foreign interest rate is 4%, the risk premium on domestic assets, ρ, is 18%, and the expected rate of depreciation of the domestic currency against the foreign currency is 3%, what is the domestic interest rate in percentage terms, given covered interest parity holds? [All variables have a 1-year time frame.]Foreign exchange investment involves risks and at the same time returns. Considering you will invest your peso @ P50 = $1 foreign exchange with a fixed interest of 5%, when can you say that you are fully maximized the value of your investment upon maturity? a. Interest and proceeds received in full deposit to a bank account b. Interest received in full with current exchange rate @ P52 = $1 but retained the money in USD while waiting for another investment. c. Interest received in full with current exchange rate @ 52 = $1 and converted the full proceeds to peso d. Interest received in full with current exchange rate @ 52 = $1 but converted the interest only while waiting for another investment.Suppose the interest rate on investments in GBP is 12% in London and the interest rate for comparable investments in USD in New York is 7%. Suppose further, that the spot rate is USD 1.95 /GBP and that the one-year forward rate is USD 1.87 /GBP a) Is the covered interest parity violated? Is there an arbitrage opportunity? b) If yes, how high is it if you were able to borrow USD 1 million from a US-based bank?

Based on the foregoing, calculate the Return on Equity (RoE) and Return on Assets (RoA). Ensure to also comment on the relationship between the two performance parameters ROE and ROA. Distinguish between the short run and long run determinants of exchange rate volatility. In your assessment show how the exchange rate movements can influence the Interest Parity Conditiona. The spot price of the British pound is currently $1.50. If the risk-free interest rate on 1-year government bonds is 1% in the United States and 2% in the United Kingdom, what must be the forward price of the pound for delivery one year from now?b. How could an investor make risk-free arbitrage profits if the forward price were higher than the price you gave in answer to part (a)? Give a numerical example.a) Assume the following information: 180‑day U.S. interest rate = 8% 180‑day British interest rate = 9% 180‑day forward rate of British pound = $1.50 Spot rate of British pound = $1.48 Assume that a U.S. exporter will receive 400,000 pounds in 180 days. Would it be better off using a forward hedge or a money market hedge? Substantiate your answer with estimated revenue for each type of hedge. b) As treasurer of a U.S. exporter to Canada, you must decide how to hedge (if at all) future receivables of 250,000 Canadian dollars 90 days from now. Put options are available for a premium of $.03 per unit and an exercise price of $.80 per Canadian dollar (CA$).
