Further, the current nominal 1-year rate of return in Japan is -0.112% and 0.14% in the United States. What is the estimated forward exchange rate for 270 days?

- Assume that the current exchange rate for Japanese Yen and U.S. Dollar is 140 JPY per USD. Considering Interest Rate Parity (IRP), if interest rates are higher in the United States than in Japan, what should we expect what for the forward exchange rate? IRP does not apply to this situation. O We should expect no change in the forward exchange rate. We would expect the forward exchange rate to move above 140 JPY per USD. We would expect the forward exchange rate to move below 140 JPY per USD.arrow_forwardCurrently, the spot exchange rate is $0.80/A$ and the one-year forward exchange rate is $0.76/A$. One-year interest is 3.5% in the United States and 4.2% in Australia. You may borrow up to $1,000,000 or A$1,250,000, which is equivalent to $1,000,000 at the current spot rate. Determine if IRP is holding between Australia and the United States. Yes O Noarrow_forwardSuppose the inflation rate in Canada is 1 percent and the inflation rate in Mexico is 3 percent. If the nominal exchange rate in terms of Mexican pesos per Canadian dollar falls by 4 percent, by how much will the real exchange rate (in terms of Mexican goods per Canadian good) change?arrow_forward
- The current USD/EUR exchange rate is [de] dollar per euro. The one-year forward exchange rate is [fe]. The one-year USD interest rate is [rus]% p.a. semiannually compounded. Estimate the one-year EUR interest rate (p.a. semiannually compounded, stated in percent).

You have pesos that you would like to exchange for yen. What is the cross rate between the yen and the peso; that is, how many yen would you receive for every peso exchanged? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. yen per pesoarrow_forward
- If the Australian/US dollar exchange rate is 0.72 USD/AUD, US interest rates are 0.25% and Australian interest rates are 0.75% (both for 1 year), what should the 1-year forward USD/AUD exchange rate be?arrow_forwardMath Problem (Show the detailed calculations): Currency exchange rates and Eurocurrency interest rates are as follows: Current Canadian dollar (C$) spot rate One-year Canadian dollar (C$) forward rate One-year Canadian dollar (C$) interest rate $0.6352/C$ $0.6050/C$ 11.0% One-year U.S. interest rate 9.0% Examine whether there exists an arbitrage opportunity.
