5. If the 1-year term deposit interest rate in the US is 2% higher than the rate offered in Europe, on Euro deposits, and you expect the Dollar to neither depreciate nor appreciate against the Euro, what sequence of trades would allow a risk-neutral investor to take advantage of these circumstances? What is the expected return of this strategy? Which steps in this strategy are risky? If the Dollar turns out to appreciate by 5% against the Euro, after all, will the investor gain or lose? How much?

Because Vin’s receives payments in British pounds every month and converts those pounds into euros, it needs to closely monitor the value of the British pound in the future. David Hewson, owner of Vin’s, expects that inflation will rise substantially in the UK, while inflation in Ireland will remain low. He also expects that the interest rates in both countries will rise about the same amount. a. Given David’s expectations, forecast whether the pound will appreciate against the euro over time. b. Given David’s expectations, will Vin’s be favourably or unfavourably affected by the future changes in the value of the pound
Suppose DeGraw Corporation, a U.S. exporter, sold a solar heating station to a Japanese customer at a price of 143.5 million yen, when the exchange rate was 140 yen per dollar. In order to close the sale, DeGraw agreed to be paid in yen, thus agreeing to take some exchange rate risk for the transaction. The terms were net 6 months. a. If the yen fell against the dollar such that one dollar would buy 154.4 yen when the invoice was paid, what dollar amount would DeGraw receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars? b. What is the difference (in dollars) between what DeGraw could have received had they asked for payment immediately (before the devaluation of the yen) instead of six months later?
