PLEASE ANSWER FULLY AND CORRECTLY: DO NOT GIVE ME THE WRONG ANSWER Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £40 per share. The investor has $10,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2 per £. Consider three possible prices per share at £35, £40, and £45 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.80 per £, $2 per £, and $2.20 per £ 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. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places.

Assume that the current exchange rate for Japanese Yen and U.S. Dollar is 140 JPY per USD. Considering Interest Rate Parity (IRP), if interest rates are higher in the United States than in Japan, what should we expect what for the forward exchange rate? IRP does not apply to this situation. O We should expect no change in the forward exchange rate. We would expect the forward exchange rate to move above 140 JPY per USD. We would expect the forward exchange rate to move below 140 JPY per USD.
Peter Sheffield has Euros (€) amounting to €500,000 and is provided with the following quotes: Bank A: Euro/US dollar = €0.8418/$ Bank A: British pound /US dollar = £0.7538/S Bank B: British pound/Euro = £0.8863/€ Determine whether an arbitrage opportunity exists.

For example, show your calculation as follows (The currencies used in the example are not applicable to your calculation. It just provide you with information how you should show your calculation): Yen/ZAR = 11.7654/1.3954 = 8.4316 (Round your answer to 4 decimals) Reason why arbitrage opportunity exists/ does not exist:

The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) states that in the long-run exchange rates between two countries adjusts so that the price of an identical good is the same when expressed in the same currency. A scanner sells for $65.45 in the United States. The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Swiss franc (SFr) is $0.8245 per Swiss franc. Suppose the price of the scanner in Switzerland was actually SFr 63.50. Assuming no transaction costs, transportation costs, or import restrictions, PPP predicts that the demand would (decrease or Increase) in Switzerland.
