The following spot rate is an indirect quote outside the US: DKK34.18-25/USD. Under PPP theory, if the expected rate of inflation in the US is 5% and the expected rate of inflation in Japan is 3%, then the USD/JPY forward rate will be at a premium to the spot rate such that returns in both countries are equalized. More than one of these statements are correct.
