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.)
Using 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
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)
