Suppose that the real interest rate in Japan and the U.S. is 2.00%. Furthermore, assume that the nominal (1-year) interest rate in Japan is 11.00% while the nominal interest rate over the same time period in the United States is 8.00%. According to the international Fisher effect theory, the expected inflation rate in Japan is %. % while the expected inflation rate in the U.S.

If the U.S. interest rate is higher than the U.K. interest rate, will the U.K. investors place short-term funds in the U.S.? Explain. Assume the investment is covered. If the rate of inflation in the European Union (EU) is above the rate of inflation in the U.S., by 4 percentage points and the dollar depreciates against the euro by 5% during the same time period, what is expected to happen to the real exchange rate? The e exchange rate is defined as the dollar price of euro($/€).
