Suppose that the following conditions all hold: uncovered and covered interest rate parity, real interest rate parity, relative and absolute purchasing power parity. And suppose you have the following information:
- The current nominal interest rate for a 1 year deposit in a Brazilian bank is 20%.
- Inflation is expected to be 10 percentage points higher in Brazil than Argentina over the next year.
- The forward exchange rate between Brazil and Argentina is 1.1 (Brazilian real / Argentinian peso).
For each of the following, compute a value using the information above, or state if there is not enough information given above to do this. Show your work in each case and name which parity conditions you are using.
a. real exchange rate (Brazil/Argentina)
b. expected future spot exchange rate for one year from now (Brazilian real / Argentinian peso)
c. real interest rate in Brazil
d. current spot exchange rate (Brazilian real / Argentinian peso) Suppose you learn that the current exchange rate for the Japanese Yen is $1 = 120 yen.

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.
Uncovered Interest Parity Explain the uncovered interest parity equation. (Write it and explain it). a. b. Why would we expect it to hold? l.e. what would happen if the equation does not hold? Assume the expected $/Yen exchange rate is 0.01 dollars per yen. Further assume that the US interest rate is 8% and the Japanese interest rate is 3%. According to uncovered interest parity, what would be the current S/Yen exchange rate? Show work. c.

Exercises: Parity conditions in real markets and financial markets EXERCISE 11 (Forward exchange rate) The interest rate in the United States is 8%; in Japan the comparable rate is 2%. The spot rate for the yen is $0.007692. If interest rate parity holds, what is the 90-day forward rate on the Japanese yen?
a) If the dollar is expected to appreciate against the yen, uncovered interest parity implies that the U.S. nominal interest rate must be greater than the Japanese nominal interest rate.
According to covered interest rate parity, what must the 1-year Japanese yen/US dollar forward rate assuming the following: E¥/$ = 123.85 (¥/$ spot rate), i¥ = 1.00% and i$ = 5.50%.
Suppose that the uncovered interest parity condition holds and the expected exchange rate between the euro and the dollar in one year is 1.50 (€1 = $1.50). Using the exact formula, determine the current EUR/USD exchange rate when the interest rate is 4% in the Euro area and 5% in the USA. (Answer using 4 decimal pla
5. (10 pts) This question is about covered interest parity. Suppose that a 30 day deposit has a local current interest rate of 5% in England and 3 % in the United States. The current spot rate is Es/= 1.25. If uncovered interest parity were to hold, what does the market expect the spot rate to be in 30 days? Explain your answer
if the interest rate in Brazil is 10 percent and interest rate in USA is 2%, the Spot exchange rate is $1 = 5.16 Brazilian Real. Assume that the interest rate parity holds, what must be the one year forward exchange rate between Brazil and the United States.? Explain. Show all your calculations if you want partial credit.
Given the information above about the Dutch investor, and if Uncovered Interest Rate Parity holds, what is the expected change of the euro against the pound over one year? Consider a Dutch investor with 1,000 euros to place in a bank deposit in eitherthe Netherlands or Great Bntain The one-year interest rate on bank deposits is 2% in Britain and 4.04% in the Netherlands. The one-year forward euro-pound exchange rate is 1.575 euros per pound, and the spot rate is...
