Suppose that the current EUR/GBP rate is 0.6668 and the one-year forward exchange rate is 0.6742. The one-year interest rate is 1.8% in euros and 3.6% in pounds. You can borrow at most €1,000,000 or the equivalent pound amount. Suppose you are a pound-based investor. Determine the profit/loss (in GBP, no cents) if you borrow locally and invest in Euros.
Suppose the current exchange rate for the Polish zloty is Z3.3. The expected exchange rate in 5 years. The expected exchange rate in 5 years is Z3.56. What is the difference in the annual inflation rates for the United States and Poland over this period? Assume that the anticipated rate is constant for both countries.
Question (1) suppose the british pound U-S dollar exchange rate is currently So=£.50.Further suppose that the inflation rate in Britain is predicted to be 10percent over the year ,coming year and(for the moment)the inflation rate in the United States is predicted to be zero.What do you think the exchange rate will be in a year
Suppose you have the following spot exchange rates: USD/AUD 0.5300 AUD/EUR 1.6428 USD/EUR 0.8782 a) Calculate the US dollar profit (per 1 USD), if any, on a three-point arbitrage. b) Calculate AUD profit (per 1 AUD), if any, on a three-point arbitrage. c) How can you explain the answers in (1) and (2)?
A. Suppose the dollar interest rate and the euro interest rate are the same and equal 2 percent per year. Suppose the expected future $/€ exchange rate is $1.20 per 1 €. Suppose now Euro interest rate decreases to 1 percent per year. Determine how the new equilibrium $/€ exchange rate will change if the US interest rate remains constant. B. Indicate how the change in the Euro interest rate will affect the equilibrium $/€ exchange rate and the expected return on euro assets. Explain the changes on the graph.
Suppose that the one-year interest rate is 5.0 percent in the United States and 3.5 percent in Germany, and that the spot exchange rate is $1.12/€ and the one-year forward exchange rate, is $1.16/€. Assume that al of these rates will be used and a speculator can borrow $1,000,000 or €1,000,000. This is an example whether Uncovered Interest Arbitrage is possible O This is an example of whether Purchasing Power Parity holds This is an example whether fisher effect holds O None of the above This is an example whether Covered Interest Arbitrage is possible
Suppose that the annualized inflation in the US is 3% while annual inflation in Europe is 1%. If the current exchange rate is $1.40 per Euro that would you expect the exchange rate to be in one year? If the exchange rate one year from now turns out to be $1.50 per Euro, what has happened to the real exchange rate?
Suppose there are no transaction costs. If the one year forward rate of the euro is an accurate estimate of the spot rate one year from now, then the actual cost of hedging payable will be: A. positive if the forward rate exhibits a premium, and negative if the forward rate exhibits a discount. B. positive. C. negative. D. zero.
Q1-10 If a PPP estimate of the dollar/pound exchange rate is $1.61/£ and the current spot rate is observed to be $1.68/£, on the basis of these two rates you should, viewing the long-run, a. expect the dollar to appreciate against the pound. b. take a "short" position in dollars. c. expect the pound to appreciate against the dollar. d. have no expectation regarding the likely movement of the dollar/pound exchange rate.
Assume the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the UK Pound Sterling is 0.6 ($ per pound). Assuming the purchase price parity theory holds, what is the new exchange rate ($ per pound) if the price level in the US increases by 5% and the price level in the UK increases by 20%?
Suppose that the current spot exchange rate is €0.830/S and the three-month forward exchange rate is €o.815/S. The three-month interest rate is 6.00 percent per annum in the United States and 5.40 percent per annum in France. Assume that you can borrow up to $1,000,000 or €830,000. Show how to realize a certain profit via covered interest arbitrage, assuming that you want to realize profit in terms of U.S. dollars. Also determine the size of your arbitrage profit.
It is given that dP/dt = rP (r being the annually compounded interest rate and P is the amount in the account at any given time). Suppose that an account earns at an annual rate of r percent compounded continuously and a person is drawing an income of H dollars per year withdrawn continuously (impossible, but a modeling assumption). Use phase line analysis to analyze the behavior of the account. Discuss the meaning of any equilibrium points and their stability. If r = 10% (a reasonable rate for long-term stock investments), and H = $10,000, how long should an initial investment of $50,000 be left untouched so that when withdrawals begin the capital is not depleted?
