Suppose that last year, the 12-month interest rates for the Australia and the Greece are 2.4% and 9.8% respectively, and that the Australian dollar price of a euro is $1.39. Given this information, what was the percentage change in the exchange rate over the year? Round to two decimal places. Enter a number like 2% as "2.00" and not "0.02."

Suppose that the U.S. interest rate on one year Treasury notes was 4.7%. We will use this as the annual interest rate in the U.S. And suppose that the interest rate on the one-year German Treasury note was 4.2%. The spot rate is 1.0162 EUR/USD. And the 3-month forward rate is 1.0188 Eur/USD. Is there an opportunity for covered interest arbitrage? If so, what would be the total profit if we borrowed $25 million? OA YES-$27,395.21 would be the profit OB. YES-$33,385.41 would be the profit OC. YES-$37,342.89 would be the profit OD. NO- there is no opportunity for a profit
