Assume the interest rate in Britain is 9%, the interest rate in Canada is 6%, Rt=2.7, and Rt+1=3. Calculate the return in Canadian $ of investing in Britain for 1 year. In addition, show whether the interest rate parity condition holds. Finally, what will be the effects on the balance of payments and the exchange rate? Rt= current exchange rate. Rt+1= future exchange rate

The International Fisher Effect (IFE), Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and Interest Rate Parity (IRP) are three very important theories in international finance, each with its own predictions and implication. Which of the following is correct? IRP suggests that a change in interest rate differential will not change the currency's forward premium/discount. According to purchasing power parity (PPP), if a foreign country's inflation rate is below the inflation rate at home, home country consumers will increase their imports from the foreign...
