Open Question. Consider two bonds, one issued in Tunisian dinar (TND) in Tunisia yielding a return equal to 10%, and one issued in Colombian Peso (COP) in Colombia yielding a return equal to 5%. Assume that both govern- ment securities are one-year bonds paying the face value of the bond one year from now. The exchange rate, E, stands at: 1 TND = 1173.0 COP. A. Compute the expected exchange rate next year, ECOP/TND (i.e. 1 TND = ? COP) consistent with un- covered interest parity.

Suppose you (U.S. investor) purchase a 5-year, AA-rated Euro bond for par that is paying an annual coupon at the rate equal to 8 percent. The bond has a face value of 1,000 Euros. The spot exchange rate at the time of purchase is USD1.15/EUR. At the end of the year 1, the bond is upgraded to AAA-rated and the yield changes to 7.5% per annum continuous compounding. In addition due to changes in macroeconomic environment, the exchange rate also changed to USD1.25/EUR.
