Suppose that the interest rate on a US dollar deposit is 3% and the interest rate on a Japanese yen deposit is 1%. Today’s exchange rate is $1/¥ and the expected rate one year in the future is $1.2/¥, so $100 today can be exchanges for ¥100. Which currency deposit yield a higher expected rate of return (which currency investors should be willing to hold)? Why?

- Suppose that the current exchange rate between the Japanese yen (¥) and the U.S. dollar ($) is ¥100 = $1. A financial analyst predicts that the exchange rate will be ¥94 = $1 next year. If the analyst uses purchasing power parity as the basis of the prediction, the analyst expects that the yen willSuppose that the interest rates in the U.S. and Germany are equal to 5%, that the forward (one year) value of the € is F$/€ = 1$/€ and that the spot exchange rate is E$/€ = 0.75$/€. Please answer the following questions by explaining all steps of your analysis: Does the covered interest parity condition hold? Why or why not? How could you make a riskless profit without any money tied up assuming that there are no transaction costs in buying and or selling foreign exchange? PLEASE SHOW ALL STEPSUsing the UIP equation, assume that the expected future rate (after one year) for euros (in terms of dollars) equals $1.20, while the current spot rate is 1.15. The current interest rate on euro deposits is 2%, and the interest rate on dollar deposits is 3%. Should you invest in the US or in Europe? Neither one In the US In Europe It is indifferent
- A. Suppose the dollar interest rate and the euro interest rate are the same and equal 2 percent per year. Suppose the expected future $/€ exchange rate is $1.20 per 1 €. Suppose now Euro interest rate decreases to 1 percent per year. Determine how the new equilibrium $/€ exchange rate will change if the US interest rate remains constant. B. Indicate how the change in the Euro interest rate will affect the equilibrium $/€ exchange rate and the expected return on euro assets. Explain the changes on the graph.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 that the annualized inflation in the US is 3% while annual inflation in Europe is 1%. If the current exchange rate is $1.40 per Euro that would you expect the exchange rate to be in one year? If the exchange rate one year from now turns out to be $1.50 per Euro, what has happened to the real exchange rate?
- Suppose a European call option to buy 1 euro for 1.40 CAD costs 0.08 CAD. The option maturity is in two months and the forward exchange rate for the same maturity is 1.50 CAD per euro. What arbitrage opportunity exists? Explain how you can exploit this opportunity and how much the profit is. (Ignore the time value of money)Suppose that investors are risk-neutral and the linear UIP equation holds. You are given the following information: UK interest rate: i = 0.07 US interest rate: i* = 0.02 Expected future spot rate e^e = 8. What is the current spot rate, e? (State your answer as a number to 2 decimal places. Exchange rates are Pounds per Dollar, in natural logs)Suppose that your company will be receiving 30 million euros six months from now and the euro is currently selling for 1 euro per dollar. If you want to hedge the foreign exchange risk in this payment, what kind of forward contract would you want to enter into?
- Suppose that the current EUR/GBP rate is 0.6668 and the one-year forward exchange rate is 0.6742. The one-year interest rate is 1.8% in euros and 3.6% in pounds. You can borrow at most €1,000,000 or the equivalent pound amount. Suppose you are a pound-based investor. Determine the profit/loss (in GBP, no cents) if you borrow locally and invest in Euros.2. Suppose today's exchange rate is $1.23/€. The three-month interest rates on dollars and euros are 6% and 3 % (both anual rates), respectively. The three-month forward rate is $1.25. A foreign exchange advisory service has predicted that the euro will appreciate to $1.27 within three months. Consider 1 million euros. a.. How would you use forward contracts to speculate in the above situation? b. How would you use money market instruments (borrowing and lending) to speculate? C. Which alternatives (forward contracts or money market instruments) would you prefer? Why? d. Can you make profits without risks? If so, explain and calculate how you do that.2. The interest rate in European bank is 5% now, and the exchange rate is currently 1.05 dollars per euro.
