- An investor has $10m to invest and has the following options: 1) depositing it in a US bank account paying 3% annually, or 2) depositing it in a German bank, where the annual rate of interest is only 2%. Assume that today the current spot exchange rate for the Euro is given as $1.2750, while the 1-year Dollar-Euro forward rate is posted as 1.2995. a. Based on your knowledge of the relationship between interest rate differentials and the current dollar-euro forward premium or discount, in which country should the investor deposit her money? why? b. If you had the power to adjust the German interest rate, with all else constant, what rate would you establish, such that the investor is totally indifferent between depositing in either countries? Show your work and the logic behind it.arrow_forwardLet us assume that IRP (interest rate parity) theory applies. The one-year nominal interest rate in Germany is 4%, whereas in United States it is 7%. The spot rate for the US dollar is €0.77.

The forward exchange rate for delivery six months hence is CHF 0.9188/$. Which method of investing do you prefer and what will be the value of your investment at maturity? Assume no transaction cost.

- suppose you purchased a 10 million one-year Australian dollar loan that pays 7 percent interest annually. The spot rate of U.S. dollars for Australian dollars (AUD/USD) is $0.820/A$1. What is par value of the loan in U.S. dollars?arrow_forwardAn investor starts with 1 million and converts them to £694,500, which is then invested for one year. In a year the investor has £736,170 which she then converts back to euros at an exchange rate of 0.68 pounds per euro. What way the annual euro rate of return earned?arrow_forwardThe current spot rate is $0.80/A$ and the six-month forward rate is $0.7775/A$. One-year interest is 8% in the United States and 9% in Australia. An investor can borrow up to $ 500,000 or A$625,000, the dollar equivalent at the spot rate. a) Determine if IRP is holding between Australia (A$) and USA ($) b) If IRP does not exist, explain briefly how an investor would realize certain arbitrage profit in U.S. dollar terms. c) Explain (briefly) how IRP will be restored as a result of the arbitrage transactions investors carry out above. (Hint to answer : As more investors buy _____(A$ or $) at spot price, _____(A$ or $) will appreciate and hence, the spot price $0.80/A$ will increase so that the interest rate parity is restored.)arrow_forward
