Omni Advisors, an international pension fund manager, uses the concepts of purchasing power parity (PPP) and the InternationalFisher Effect (IFE) to forecast spot exchange rates. Omni gathers the financial information as follows:Base price levelCurrent U.S. price levelCurrent South African price levelBase rand spot exchange rateCurrent rand spot exchange rateExpected annual U.S. inflationExpected annual South African inflation.Expected U.S. one-year interest rateExpected South African one-year interest rateZAR spot rate under PPP100105111$0.190$0.173Calculate the following exchange rates (ZAR and USD refer to the South African rand and U.S. dollar, respectively):a. The current ZAR spot rate in USD that would have been forecast by PPP. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round youranswer to 4 decimal places.)Expected ZAR spot rate10%8%13811%b.

Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows:1R1 = 2.62%, E(2r1) = 3.90%, E(3r1) = 4.40%, E(4r1) = 5.90%Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Please answer and provide solutions for three questions. 1. Given i(26) = 3.150%, find the equivalent nominal interest rate compounded quarterly. 2. Given an effective quarterly rate of 2.22500%, find the equivalent effective semi-annual rate. (You might need to keep more than the usual number of decimal places!) 3. Given an effective quarterly rate of 1.25000%, find the equivalent nominal rate i(2).
Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows:1R1 = 2.50%, E(2r1) = 3.75%, E(3r1) = 4.25%, E(4r1) = 5.75% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year-maturity Treasury securities
Suppose 1-year T-bills currently yield 7.00% and the future inflation rate is expected to be constant at 2.00% per year. What is the real risk-free rate of return, r*? The cross-product term should be considered , i.e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Solve for the unknown interest rate in each of the following (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.):
Suppose that the current 1-year rate (1-year spot rate) and expected 1-year T-bill rates over the following three years (ie.. years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 181 = 4%, E(201) = 5%, E(31) = 5.50 %, E(41) = 5.85% Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Years AGN- Current (Long-term) Rates
Current interest rates are i$ = 4%;i€ = 6%. Expected interest rates next year are: i$ = 7%;i € = 3%. The expected spot rate in two years is S2($/€) = 1. Use the asset market approach to compute the current spot rate S0($/€). Please type in the number without the currency signs. For example, if your answer is $1.25/€, then type in 1.25 as your final answer. Please keep at least three decimal places (up to 5 decimal places)
