suppose the british pound U-S dollar exchange rate is currently So=£.50.Further suppose that the inflation rate in Britain is predicted to be 10percent over the year ,coming year and(for the moment)the inflation rate in the United States is predicted to be zero.What do you think the exchange rate will be in a year
Suppose the british pound U-S.dollar exchange rate is currently So =£.50.Further suppose that the inflation rate in britain is predicted to be 10percent over the year coming year and(for the moment)the inflation rate in the united states is predicted to be zero. What do you think the exchange rate will be in a year
You observe that the inflation rate in the United States is 1.3 percent per year and that T-
bills currently yield 1.8 percent annually. Use the approximate international Fisher effect
to answer the following questions.
a. What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Australia, if short-term Australian
government securities yield 8 percent per year? (Enter your answer as a percent
rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.)
b. What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Canada, if short-term Canadian
government securities yield 11 percent per year? (Enter your answer as a percent
rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.)
c. What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Taiwan, if short-term Taiwanese
government securities yield 13 percent per year? (Enter your answer as a percent
rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.)
X Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
a. Australian inflation rate
