Suppose 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 STEPS

6) Based on the following information about the future possible exchange rates and the value of your foreign assets, you have computed Var(S)=0.00666667 and Cov(P,S)=12. If you use the appropriate forward hedge, what will be the value of your hedged position in a situation when the future spot exchange rate is 1.4$/£? State Prob. P* 1 2 3 1/3 £1000 1/3 1/3 £1,000 £1,100 S($/£) 1.4 1.5 1.6 P(=SP*) $1,400 $1,500 $1,760

Suppose the current USD/EUR spot exchange rate is 1.20$/ €. At the same the euro interest rate amount to 10% per year while the dollar interest rate is 0% per year. a. What is the no-arbitrage one-year USD/EUR forward exchange? b. Suppose the one-year USD/EUR forward exchange was 1.25$/ €. How could you make money from this situation? 4

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?

please help me solve this. Explain to me step by step how to find the answer

Suppose exchange rates are: EUR/AUD = 1.5550 GBP/AUD = 2.8923 GBP/EUR = 1.8600   Starting with 10,000 AUD, what are the one-round-trip arbitrage profits rounded to the nearest AUD?   14,180 AUD No arbitrage profit is possible. 1,961 AUD 73,654 AUD

Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 5% and the euro yield curve is flat at 3%. The current exchange rate is $1.25 per euro. What cash flows will be exchanged on a 4-year foreign exchange swap with notional principal of 260 million euros (or equivalently, at current exchange rates, $325 million)? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars not millions rounded to the nearest dollar value. Swap rate ......... per year

Suppose that the current spot exchange rate is €1.72 per £ and the one-year forward exchange rate is €1.80 per £. The one-year interest rate is 5.4% in euros and 5.2% in pounds. You can borrow at most €1,000,000 or the equivalent pound amount, i.e., £581,395, at the current spot exchange rate. Required: a. If you are a euro-based investor, how can you realize a guaranteed profit from covered interest arbitrage and the size of arbitrage profit? b. How will the interest rate parity be restored as a result of the above transactions? c. If you are a pound-based investor, what is the covered arbitrage process and the size of the arbitrage profit? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Required C If you are a euro-based investor, how can you realize a guaranteed profit from covered interest arbitrage and the size of arbitrage profit? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round off the final answer to nearest whole dollar. Profit from…
