11.Suppose you observe a spot exchange rate of $1.50/€. If interest rates are 3% APR in the U.S. and 5% APR in the euro zone, what is the no- arbitrage 1-year forward rate? Note that you illustrate all occurred process to make students who have roughly derivative and international financial knowledge understand easier. Thank you so much for your help. a) €1.5291/$ b) $1.5291/€ c) €1.4714/$ d) $1.4714/€

Step 1
- Spot exchange rate: \( S = \$1.50/€ \) - U.S. interest rate: \( i_{\text{USD}} = 3\% \) or 0.03 - Euro zone interest rate: \( i_{\text{EUR}} = 5\% \) or 0.05 Show more…

Answer based on the following: Interest rate on U.S. assets = 5%, interest rate on European assets = 12%, the spot rate of exchange = 0.90 Euros/$, the one year forward rate of exchange = 0.95 EUROS/$. The dollar is expected to appreciate.

The three-month dollar interest rate in New York is 3.80% per annum. Alternatively, the three-month euro interest rate in Frankfurt is 5.40% p.a. The current $/€ spot exchange rate is $1.1220/€. The euro three-month forward rate is quoted at $1.1210/€. Use the International Fisher Effect (IFE) to find what should be the expected three-month spot exchange rate of dollars against the euro (If not performing chain calculations, use interest rates up to four decimal places, and again use the proper relationship that describes IFE). Assume that the real rate of interest in both the euro zone and the U.S. is 1.96% per annum; use the Fisher Effect (FE) to calculate the expected annualized three-month rates of inflation in the euro zone and the U.S. (Expressed as a % p.a. up to four decimal places). Use the results in question above and the Relative Purchasing Power Parity (RPPP) relationship to estimate the expected three-month spot exchange rate of the dollars against the euro. What do you notice about the answers to questions 2, 3, and 5? Are they what you expect? I need to know how to get those answers. Show me in detail.
Assume that annual interest rates in the United States are 4 percent, while interest rates in France are 6 percent. a. According to IRP, what should the forward rate premium or discount of the euro be? b. If the euro's spot rate is $$\$ 1.10$$, what should the oneyear forward rate of the euro be?
