Question

Suppose that the US 60-day interest rate is is = 0.015. The spot rate on the Canadian dollar is E = 0.90 $/C$, the 60-day forward rate is F = 0.92$/C$ and the Canadian 60- day interest rate is ics = 0.012. a. Is the C$ at a forward premium or discount? b. Suppose you have $1 million to invest and you do this for 60 days in the US at its interest rate. How many US dollars do you have after 60 days? Now suppose you decide to invest instead through the spot and forward markets in C$. This means buying C$ in the spot market, investing them for 60 days at the Canadian interest rate and also selling those proceeds in the forward market at rate F. How many US dollars do you have after 60 days? c. Which investment is better (in US or Canada)? Following is the covered interest parity condition: is = ics + f. Explain how this condition is required for equilibrium in the 60-day investment markets.

          Suppose that the US 60-day interest rate is is = 0.015. The spot rate on the
Canadian dollar is E = 0.90 $/C$, the 60-day forward rate is F = 0.92$/C$ and the Canadian 60-
day interest rate is ics = 0.012.

Suppose you have $1 million to invest and you do this for 60 days in the US at its interest
rate. How many US dollars do you have after 60 days?
Now suppose
you decide to invest instead through the spot and forward markets in C$. This means buying C$
in the spot market, investing them for 60 days at the Canadian interest rate and also selling those
proceeds in the forward market at rate F. How many US dollars do you have after 60 days?
c.
Which investment is better (in US or Canada)?
Following is the covered interest parity condition:
is = ics + f. Explain how this condition is required for equilibrium in the 60-day
investment markets.

Suppose that the US 60-day interest rate is is = 0.015. The spot rate on the
Canadian dollar is E = 0.90 /C, the 60-day forward rate is F = 0.92/C and the Canadian 60-
day interest rate is ics = 0.012.
a. Is the Cat a forward premium or discount?

Following is the covered interest parity condition:

investment markets.
