In a recent transaction, it issued a one-year $2 million CD at 6 percent and funded a loan in euros at 8 percent. The spot rate for the euro was €1.45/$ at the time of the transaction (US being the home country).Information received immediately after the transaction closing indicated that the euro will depreciate to €1.47/$ by year-end. If the information is correct, what will be the realized spread on the loan? What should have been the bank interest rate on the loan to maintain the 2 percent spread?

Problem 19-4 (Algo) Required: Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £33 per share. The investor has $66,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2/£. Consider three possible prices per share at £31, £36, and £41 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.60/£, $2/£, and $2.40/£ after 1 year. Calculate the standard deviation of both the pound- and dollar- denominated rates of return if each of the nine outcomes (three possible prices per share in pounds times three possible exchange rates) is equally likely. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places.) X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Standard deviation of pound-denominated return Standard deviation of dollar-denominated return 12.37 19.68 %
