Suppose that California Co., a U.S. based MNC, seeks to capitalize a difference in interest rates between euros and British pounds via the use of a carry trade. In particular, after 1 month, funds invested in euros will yield a 0.50% percent return, while funds invested in pounds will yield a return of 2.00% percent. Currently the spot rate of the British pound is $1.00 while the spot rate of the euro is $0.80. In other words, the pound is worth 1.25 euros. California Co. expects these spot rates to remain constant over the next month. After 1 month, California Co. now has 693,600 pounds after investing their converted pounds. However, it is now time for California Co. to repay the 600,000 euro loan. If California Co. borrowed these euros at the prevailing rate of 0.50% percent, they must repay a total of rate of 1.25, this repayment is equivalent to pounds. euros. At the cross pounds. Thus, after repaying the loan, California Co. will have

Given: interest rates are 6% in the U.S. and 15% in the U.K. The spot exchange rate for British pounds is 1.27 $/£ and the 1-year forward rate is F1 - yr = 1.19 $/£. You wish to borrow dollars. a. How can you effectively (synthetically) borrow $100,000 for one year without using the U.S. money market? (List each transaction you would make including the amounts of each currency involved. You may use either continuous compounding or discrete compounding as long as you show your calculations.) b. What is the implied interest rate on your synthetic loan? c. Should you borrow directly or synthetically, and why? d. How could an arbitrageur make a risk-free profit?
29) Suppose that the two-year interest rates in Australia and the United States are 4.6% and 0.4% per annum, respectively, and the spot exchange rate between the Australian dollar (AUD) and the US dollar (USD) is 1.0500 USD per one unit of AUD.

Use the following information for the next 2 questions. Assume that the U.S. one-year interest rate is 8% and the one-year interest rate on Australian dollars is 13%. The U.S. annual inflation is expected to be 5%, while the Australian annual inflation is expected to be 7%. The current spot exchange rate of an Australian dollar is $0.689. You have $100,000 to invest for one year. Question 4 (6.25 points) You believe that IFE holds. What will be the yield on your investment if you invest in the Australian market? (HINT: You believe that IFE holds, so the spot rate one year later is the rate obtained from IFE. Note that the interest rate given in the problem is the nominal rate.) 13.00% 8.00% 18.23% 7.16%
