Assume that exchange rates are the following: Dollar/Pound: 1.60, Yen/Dollar = 100, Yen/Pound = 160
Now assume the following inflation rates over the next year will be: U.S.= 3%, Japan = 1%, and U.K. = 1.5%. What will be the exchange rates one year from now, assuming that Purchasing Power Parity holds:
a) Dollar/Pound b) Yen/Dollar
c) Yen/Pound
Homework Answers
If the purchasing power parity holds, US dollar, Japan Yen and UK Pound depriciates by 3%, 1% and 1.5% respectively in absolute.
So, the Dollar/Pound rate would be 1.6x(US inflation)/(UK inflation)=1.6x1.03/1.015=1.623645
So, the Yen/Dollar rate would be 1.6x(Japan inflation)/(US inflation)=100x1.01/1.03=98.0582524
So, the Yen/Pound rate would be 1.6x(Japan inflation)/(UK inflation)=160x1.01/1.015=159.21182266

Assume that uncovered interest rate parity holds between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar. If today the 1-year riskless interest rate in Japan is 5%, the one-year riskless interest rate in the U.S. is 1%, and the spot exchange rate is $.01 per yen, what is the expected exchange rate one-year from today? Suppose that expected inflation in the U.S. increased. What would happen to the current (spot) exchange, i.e. will it increase or decrease? Explain your reasoning.

PPP - Purchasing Power Parity Suppose that the current Swiss franc to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate is $:SFr = 1.60 (i.e., 1.60 SFr per U.S. dollar or 1.60 SFr/$). The expected inflation over the coming year is 2% in Switzerland and 5% in the US. According to the purchasing power parity, what is the expected value of the Swiss franc to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate a year from now?
