Question 9 Explain with the aid of a numerical example using the yen per dollar exchange rate assuming a spot exchange rate of 120 yen per dollar, a Japanese interest rate of 0.5% and dollar interest rate of 7% what is meant by a “carry trade” in the foreign exchange market. Make clear the break-even exchange rate of the strategy and the profits/losses at different exchange rate parities. Explain the profit and loss in both yen and dollars of the actual exchange rate in one year's time of 100 yen per dollar or 140 yen per dollar. Also state the break-even exchange rate in one year’s time of the strategy.
32. Problem 8.40 (IFE, Cross Exchange Rates, and Cash Flows) Algo eBook Assume the Hong Kong dollar (HK$) value is tied to the U.S. dollar and will remain tied to the U.S. dollar. Assume that interest rate parity exists. Today an Australian dollar (A$) is worth $0.50 and HK$4.1. The one-year interest rate on the Australian dollar is 7 percent, while the one-year interest rate on the U.S. dollar is 9 percent. You believe in the international Fisher effect. You will receive A$1 million in one year from selling products to Australia, and will convert these proceeds into Hong Kong dollars in the spot market at that time to purchase imports from Hong Kong. Forecast the amount of Hong Kong dollars that you will be able to purchase in the spot market one year from now with A$1 million. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. HK$
