Consider a Dutch investor with 1,000 euros to place in a bank deposit in either the Netherlands or Great Britain. The (one-year) interest rate on bank deposits is 1% in Britain and 5% in the Netherlands. The (one-year) forward euro–pound exchange rate is 1.65 euros per pound, and the spot rate is 1.5 euros per pound. Answer the following questions, using the exact equations for uncovered interest parity (UIP) and covered interest parity (CIP) as necessary. What is the euro-denominated return on Dutch deposits for this investor? What is the (riskless) euro-denominated return on British deposits for this investor using forward cover? Is there an arbitrage opportunity here? Explain why or why not. Is this an equilibrium in the forward exchange rate market? If the spot rate is 1.5 euros per pound, and interest rates are as stated previously, what is the equilibrium forward rate, according to CIP? Suppose the forward rate takes the value given by your answer to (d). Compute the forward…
Accel Co. produces a standard tennis racket in the Netherlands and sells it online to consumers in the United States. This racket competes with a tennis racket produced by Malibu Co. in the United States, which is of similar quality and is priced at about $140. Accel has set the price of its tennis racket at 100 euros. Assuming that the euro's exchange rate (during the sales month in question) was $1.60, then the price of Accel's racket to U.S. consumers is $_________ (enter a whole number). Because U.S. consumers could buy a Malibu racket for only $140, Accel only sold about 1,000 rackets to U.S. consumers in that month. Since then, however, the euro's value has weakened; this month, the euro's exchange rate is only $1.20. U.S. consumers can now purchase the Accel tennis racket for $_________(enter a whole number), which is less than that charged for the U.S. Malibu racket. In this month, Accel sold 5,000 rackets. The U.S. demand for this tennis racket is price-elastic (sensitive to…
In France, one kilogram of macadamia nuts costs 10.5Euro and 10 Dollars in Canadian in Canada. According to the law of one price, the expected exchange rate between the Euro and the Canadian would be_____ 1.5Euro/$ 0.12Dollar/Euro 1.67 Dollar/Euro 0.67 Euro/Dollar
Suppose the current spot exchange rate for the Chinese yuan is USD 0.15 per CNY. If the domestic prices of traded goods rise 70% over the next 10 years in China and 20% over the same period in the United States, then, according to the relative purchasing power parity hypothesis, the spot exchange rate for the yuan in 10 years will be approximately:
On 5 November, 2021 the yield on a one-year Colombian government bond is 3.24%, and the Colombian exchange rate is 3,872.50 COP/USD (i.e., 3,872.5 Colombian pesos per US dollar). a) If the uncovered interest parity condition holds, do financial market participants expect the Colombian peso to appreciate or depreciate (vis-à-vis the US dollar) over the next year? What exchange rate are financial market participants expecting for November 5, 2022?
A company located in the US is selling a product in Japan for a price of exactly 7,175.5 Yen. The company claims that to produce the product in the US, they face a cost of $56.5 per unit. If the company is just breaking even at this price, then this implies the exchange rate must be $1 US buys Yen.
Whenever the purchasing power of a Home country's currency is the same in both Home and Foreign, the real exchange rate between Home and Foreign is equal to 1. True False If inflation in the United States is 4% per year and in China it is 8% per year, and interest rate in the China is 10%, then the Fisher effect predicts that the interest rate in the United States is 6%. True False If relative PPP and uncovered interest parity hold,____________________ Absolute PPP must hold. covered interest rate parity must hold. real interest rate parity must hold. anything could happen.
Suppose Angola is experiencing an episode of hyperinflation. The currency in Angola is the second kwanza (which is actually the fourth currency called kwanza that has circulated since 1977). The currency code is (AOA). Select all choices below that are implied by the statement if parity conditions (PPP, IRP, FEP) hold: Nominal interest rates in Angola will exceed nominal interest rates in countries not experiencing hyperinflation. The value of the AOA is expected to drop to zero. Real interest rates in Angola will fall relative to countries without hyperinflation. The AOA is expected to depreciate against any currencies that are not experiencing hyperinflation.

Suppose the U.S. dollar interest rate is 3%, while the interest rate in the United Kingdom is 6%. Your friend thinks he can convert his dollars, invest in the United Kingdom and convert his pounds back into dollars at the end of a year, allowing him to make a higher return than investing in dollars. Assuming uncovered interest parity (UIP) holds, explain why he is incorrect.

Suppose the US dollar is currently trading at a nominal exchange rate of e=120 Yen. If the inflation rate in the US is 5% over the next period when the inflation rate in Japan is 15% during the same period, what is the predicted value of the nominal exchange rate (in Yen) in the next period if purchasing power parity holds?
