Key Terms1）foreign exchange：―Foreign exchange‖ refers t o money denominated in the currency of another nation or group of nations.2）payment“payment”is the transmission of an instruction to transfer value that results from a transaction in the economy.3）settlement―settlement‖ is the final and uncondit ional transfer of the value specified in a payment instruction.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true 4) true1)Tell the reasons why the dollar is the market's most widely tradedcurrency?key points: U.S.A economic background; the leadership of USD in the world economy ; the role it plays in investment , trade, etc.2)What kind of market is the foreign exchange market?Make reference to the following parts:（8.7 The Market Is Made Up of An International Network of Dealers）Chapter 9Instruments交易工具1. Key Terms1) spot transactionA spot transaction is a straightforward (or ―outright‖) exchange of one currency for another. The spot rate is the current market price, the benchmark price.Spot transactions do not require immediate settlement, or payment ―on the spot.‖ By convention, the settlement date, or ―value date,‖is the second business day after the ―deal date‖ (or ―trade date‖) on which the transaction is agreed to by the two traders. The two-day period provides ample time for the two parties to confirm the agreement and arrange the clearing and necessary debiting and crediting of bank accounts in various international locations.2) American termsThe phrase ―American terms‖means a direct quote from the point of view of someone located in the United States. For the dollar, that means that the rate is quoted in variable amounts of U.S. dollars and cents per one unit of foreign currency (e.g., $1.2270 per Euro).3) outright forward transactionAn outright forward transaction, like a spot transaction, is a straightforward single purchase/ sale of one currency for another. The only difference is that spot is settled, or delivered, on a value date no later than two business days after the deal date, while outright forward is settled on any pre-agreed date three or more business days after the deal date. Dealers use the term ―outright forward‖ to make clear that it is a single purchase or sale on a future date, and not part of an ―FX swap‖.4) FX swapAn FX swap has two separate legs settling on two different value dates, even though it is arranged as a single transaction and is recorded in the turnover statistics as a single transaction. The two counterparties agree to exchange two currencies at a particular rate on one date (the ―near date‖) and to reverse payments, almost always at a different rate, on a specified sub sequent date (the ―far date‖). Effectively, it is a spot transaction and an outright forward transaction going in opposite directions, or else two outright forwards with different settlement dates, and going in opposite directions. If both dates are less than one month from the deal date, it is a ―short-dated swap‖; if one or both dates are one month or more from the deal date, it is a ―forward swap.‖5) put-call parity―Put-call parity‖says that the price of a European put (or call) option can be deduced from the price of a European call (or put) option on the same currency, with the same strike price and expiration. When the strike price is the same as the forward rate (an ―at-the-money‖forward), the put and the call will be equal in value. When the strike price is not the same as the forward price, the difference between the value of the put and the value of the call will equal the difference in the present values of the two currencies.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true3. Cloze1) Traders in the market thus know that for any currency pair, if the basecurrency earns a higher interest rate than the terms currency, the currency will trade at a forward discount, or below the spot rate; and if the base currency earns a lower interest rate than the terms currency, the base currency will trade at a forward premium, or above the spot rate. Whichever side of the transaction the trader is on, the trader won't gain (or lose) from both the interest rate differential and the forward premium/discount. A trader who loses on the interest rate will earn the forward premium, and vice versa.2) A call option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlyingcurrency, and a put option is the right, but not the obligation, to sellthe underlying currency. All currency option trades involve two sides—the purchase of one currency and the sale of another—so that a put to sell pounds sterling for dollars at a certain price is also a call to buy dollars for pounds sterling at that price. The purchased currency is the call side of the trade, and the sold currency is the put side of the trade. The party who purchases the option is the holder or buyer, and the party who creates the option is the seller or writer. The price at which the underlying currency may be bought or sold is the exercise , or strike, price. The option premium is the price of the option that the buyer pays to the writer. In exchange for paying the option premium up front, the buyer gains insurance against adverse movements in the underlying spot exchange rate while retaining the opportunity to benefit from favorable movements. The option writer, on the other hand, is exposed to unbounded risk—although the writer can (and typically does) seek to protect himself through hedging or offsetting transactions.4. Discussions1)What is a derivate financial instrument? Why is traded?2)Discuss the differences between forward and futures markets in foreigncurrency.3)What advantages do foreign currency futures have over foreigncurrency options?4)What is meant if an option is ―in the money‖, ―out of the money‖,or ―atthe money‖?5)What major international contracts are traded on the ChicagoMercantile Exchange ? Philadelphia Stock Exchange?Chapter 10Managing Risk in Foreign Exchange Trading外汇市场交易的风险管理1. Key Terms1) Market riskMarket risk, in simplest terms, is price risk, or ―exposure to (adverse)price change.‖ For a dealer in foreign exchange, two major elements of market risk are exchange rate risk and interest rate risk—that is, risks of adverse change in a currency rate or in an interest rate.2) VARVAR estimates the potential loss from market risk across an entire portfolio, using probability concepts. It seeks to identify the fundamental risks that the portfolio contains, so that the portfolio can be decomposed into underlying risk factors that can be quantified and managed. Employing standard statistical techniques widely used in other fields, and based in part on past experience, VAR can be used to estimate the daily statistical variance, or standard deviation, or volatility, of the entire portfolio. On the basis of that estimate of variance, it is possible to estimate the expected loss from adverse price movements with a specified probability over a particular period of time (usually a day).3) credit riskCredit risk, inherent in all banking activities, arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a contract cannot or will not make the agreed payment at maturity. When an institution provides credit, whatever the form, it expects to be repaid. When a bank or other dealing institution enters a foreign exchange contract, it faces a risk that the counterparty will not perform according to the provisions of the contract. Between the time of the deal and the time of thesettlement, be it a matter of hours, days, or months, there is an extension of credit by both parties and an acceptance of credit risk by the banks or other financial institutions involved. As in the case of market risk, credit risk is one of the fundamental risks to be monitored and controlled in foreign exchange trading.4) legal risksThere are legal risks, or the risk of loss that a contract cannot be enforced, which may occur, for example, because the counterparty is not legally capable of making the binding agreement, or because of insufficient documentation or a contract in conflict with statutes or regulatory policy.2. True or False1)True 2) true3. Translation1) Broadly speaking, the risks in trading foreign exchange are the same asthose in marketing other financial products. These risks can be categorized and subdivided in any number of ways, depending on the particular focus desired and the degree of detail sought. Here, the focus is on two of the basic categories of risk—market risk and credit risk (including settlement risk and sovereign risk)—as they apply to foreign exchange trading. Note is also taken of some other important risks in foreign exchange trading—liquidity risk, legal risk, and operational risk2) It was noted that foreign exchange trading is subject to a particular form ofcredit risk known as settlement risk or Herstatt risk, which stems in part from the fact that the two legs of a foreign exchange transaction are often settled in two different time zones, with different business hours. Also noted was the fact that market participants and central banks have undertaken considerable initiatives in recent years to reduce Herstatt risk.4. Discussions2)Discuss the way how V AR works in measuring and managing marketrisk?3)Why are banks so interested in political or country risk?4)Discuss other forms of risks which you know in foreign exchange. Chapter 11The Determination of Exchange Rates汇率的决定1. Key Terms1) PPPPurchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory holds that in the long run, exchange rates will adjust to equalize the relative purchasing power of currencies. This concept follows from the law of one price, which holds that in competitive markets, identical goods will sell for identical prices when valued in the same currency.2) the law of one priceThe law of one price relates to an individual product. A generalization of that law is the absolute version of PPP, the proposition that exchange rates will equate nations' overall price levels.3) FEER―fundamental equilibrium exchange rate,‖ or FEER,envisaged as the equilibrium exchange rate that would reconcile a nation's internal and external balance. In that system, each country would commit itself to a macroeconomicstrategy designed to lead, in the medium term, to ―internal balance‖—defined as unemployment at the natural rate and minimal inflation—and to ―external balance‖—defined as achieving the targeted current account balance. Each country would be committed to holding its exchange rate within a band or target zone around the FEER, or the level needed to reconcile internal and external balance during the intervening adjustment period.4) monetary approachThe monetary approach to exchange rate determination is based on the proposition that exchange rates are established through the process of balancing the total supply of, and the total demand for, the national money in each nation. The premise is that the supply of money can be controlled by the nation's monetary authorities, and that the demand for money has a stable and predictable linkage to a few key variables, including an inverse relationship to the interest rate—that is, the higher the interest rate, the smaller the demand for money.5) portfolio balance approachThe portfolio balance approach takes a shorter-term view of exchange rates and broadens the focus from the demand and supply conditions for money to take account of the demand and supply conditions for other financial assets as well. Unlike the monetary approach, the portfolio balance approach assumes that domestic and foreign bonds are not perfect substitutes. According to the portfolio balance theory in its simplest form, firms and individuals balance their portfolios among domestic money, domestic bonds, and foreign currency bonds, and they modify their portfolios as conditions change. It is the process of equilibrating the total demand for, and supply of, financial assets in each country that determines the exchange rate.2. True or False1) true 2) true3. Cloze1）PPP is based in part on some unrealistic assumptions: that goods are identical; that all goods are tradable; that there are no transportationcosts, information gaps, taxes, tariffs, or restrictions of trade; and—implicitly and importantly—that exchange rates are influenced only byrelative inflation rates. But contrary to the implicit PPP assumption,exchange rates also can change for reasons other than differences ininflation rates. Real exchange rates can and do change significantly overtime, because of such things as major shifts in productivitygrowth, advances in technology, shifts in factor supplies, changes inmarket structure, commodity shocks, shortage, and booms.2）Each individual and firm chooses a portfolio to suit its needs, based on a variety of considerations—the holder's wealth and tastes, the level ofdomestic and foreign interest rates, expectations of future inflation,interest rates, and so on. Any significant change in the underlying factorswill cause the holder to adjust his portfolio and seek a new equilibrium.These actions to balance portfolios will influence exchange rates.4. Discussions1）How does the purchasing power parity work?2）Describe and discuss one model for forecasting foreign exchange rates.3）Make commends on how good are the various approaches mentioned in the chapter.4）Central banks occasionally intervene in foreign exchange markets. Discuss the purpose of such intervention. How effective is intervention?Chapter 12The Financial Markets金融市场1. Key Terms1）money marketThe money market is really a market for short-term credit, or the option to use someone else's money for a period of time in return for the payment of interest. The money market helps the participants in the economic process cope with routine financial uncertainties. It assists in bridging the differences in the timing of payments and receipts that arise in a market economy.2）capital marketMarkets dealing in instruments with maturities that exceed one year are often referred to as capital markets.3）primary marketThe term ―primary market‖ applies to the original issuance of a credit market instrument. There are a variety of techniques for such sales, including auctions, posting of rates, direct placement, and active customer contacts by a salesperson specializing in the instrument4） secondary marketOnce a debt instrument has been issued, the purchaser may be able to resell it before maturity in a ―secondary market.‖ Again, a number of techniques are available for bringing together potential buyers and sellers of existing debt instruments. They include various types of formal exchanges, informal telephone dealer markets, and electronic trading through bids and offers on computer screens. Often, the same firms that provide primary marketing services help to create or ―make‖ secondary markets.5）RPsIn addition to making outright purchases and sales in the secondary market, entities with money to invest for a brief period can acquire a security temporarily, and holders of debt instruments can borrow short term by selling securities temporarily. These two types of transactions are repurchase agree-ments (RPs) and reverse RPs,respectively. In the wholesale market, banks and government securities dealers offer RPs at competitive rates of return by selling securities under contracts providing for their repurchase from one day to several months later6）BAs 7）CDs (reference to 13.1)8） EurodollarEurodollars are U.S. dollar deposits at banking offices in a country other than the United States.9） EurobankEurobanks—banks dealing in Eurodollar or some other nonlocal currency deposits, including foreign branches of U.S. banks— originally held deposits almost exclusively in Europe, primarily London. While most such deposits are still held in Europe, they are also held in such places as the Bahamas, Bahrain, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo, as well as other parts of the world.10）LIBOR (reference to 13.2.2 Certificates of Deposit)London inter-bank offer rate11）mortgage-backed securities12）Eurobond market (details make reference to13.3.3 )The Eurobond market, centered in London, is an offshore market in intermediate- and long-term debt issues. It serves as a source of capital for multinational corporations and for foreign governments. It developed after the United States instituted the interest equalization tax in 1963 to stem capital outflows inspired by relatively low U.S. interest rates.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true3. Discussions1) Describe the characteristics of Interest Rate Swap and the role of it in thebank-related financial market.2) What risks are encountered in the swaps markets?3) Discuss one or two specific examples of derivative products and their use.4. Translations1) Markets dealing in instruments with maturities that exceed one year are often referred to as capital markets, since credit to finance investments in new capital would generally be needed for more than one year. The time division is arbitrary. A long-term project can be started with short-term credit, with additional instruments may need to be renewed before a project is completed. Debt instruments that differ in maturity share other characteristics. Hence, the term ―capital market‖ could be –and occasionally is applied to some shorter maturity transactions.2) The secondary market for Treasure securities consists of a network of dealers, brokers, and investors who effect transactions either by telephone or electronically. Telephone trades are generally between dealers and their customers. Electronics trading is arranged through screen-based systems provided by some of the dealers to their customers. It allows selected trades to take place without a conversation. When dealers trade with each other, they generally use brokers. Brokers provide information on screen, but the final trades are made bytelephone.Chapter 13Concepts of Financial Assets Value金融资产价值的概念1. Key Terms1) absolute measure of valueAn absolute measure of value is used when one must compare it to a nominal amount: purchase price, amount to invest, target sum of money to raise2) relative measure of valueA relative measure of rate of return is more convenient to use when one wishes to compare one financial asset to a set of numerous alternative assets. A rate of return is the most commonly used relative measure of value.3) discountingFuture benefits must be discounted (or converted) to their present (or today's) value, before they are summed. Discounting is part of the study of time value of money, or actuarial mathematics, and a complete treatment of it can be found in specialized textbook.4) time value of moneyTime value of money studies how amounts of money are made equivalent over time. Converting amounts today into their future equivalent consists in adding interest to principal, i.e. compounding. Converting amounts in the future into today's equivalent consists of charging an interest, i.e. discounting. Thus, discounting is the exact inverse of compounding.5) FV 6) PV 7) annuity8) short term securitiesShort term securities (i.e. securities with maturity less than one year) are sold at a discount (i.e. nominal value less the interest to be earned over the remaining number of days to maturity). There is no coupon, and no additional benefits such as conversion right, but there may be a penalty for early redemption in the case of some bank certificates of deposit.9) P/E ratio (make reference to 15.5.3 --Earnings Multiple or P/E Ratio)Another approach which is used as a short-cut by a large number of investors, is the earnings multiple. It is sometimes referred to as earningsmultiplier, and it is most commonly known as price-to-earnings or P/E ratio. In many instances, the approach, rather than being an oversimplification, can be an improvement over the previous format. In its most common presentation, the idea is that the price P of a share should be a multiple m of its earnings per share E. The multiple m is an industry average because it is assumed that all companies in an industry face similar marketing, technological and resource challenges, and thus, should have similar organizational and production patterns.10) intrinsic valueintrinsic value, or difference between market price of the underlying stock and strike price (which is also known as exercise price because it is the price at which an option holder can buy from or sell to the option writer the underlying stock through the options exchange)。

It It worried worried that that pound ster1ing might rise sharply from the current rate($1.90). So, the company bought a 6 month pound call (supposed contract size = £35,000) with a strike price of $1.90 for a premium of 2.3 cents/£. (1)Is hedging in the options market better if the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months? (2)what did the exchange rate have to be for the company to break even?（15%）Solution: (1)If the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months, the U.S. company would rose to $1.92 in 6 months, the U.S. company would exercise the pound call option. The sum of the strike price and premium is $1.90 + $0.023 = $1.9230/£This is bigger than $1.92. So hedging in the options market is not better. (2) when we say the company can break even, we mean that hedging or not hedging doesn’t matter. And only when (strike price + premium )= the exchange rate , hedging or not doesn’t matter. So, the exchange rate =$1.923/£. 6.

(完整版)国际金融课后习题答案
You are given the following information about a country’s international transactions during a year: a.Calculate the values of the country’s goods and services balance,current account balance,and official settlements balance?a.Merchandise trade balance: $330 - 198 = $132Goods and services balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 = $124Current account balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 = $119Official settlements balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 + 102 - 202 + 4 = $23b.What are the value of the change in official reserve assets(net)?Is the country increasing or decreasing its net holdings of official reserve assets?b.Change in official reserve assets (net) = - official settlements balance = -$23The country is increasing its net holdings of official reserve assets.What are the major types of transactions or activities that result in supply of foreign currency in the spct foreign exchange market?Exports of merchandise and services result in supply of foreign currency in the foreignexchange market. Domestic sellers often want to be paid using domestic currency, whilethe foreign buyers want to pay in their currency. In the process of paying for these exports,foreign currency is exchanged for domestic currency, creating supply of foreign currency.International capital inflows result in a supply of foreign currency in the foreign exchangemarket. In making investments in domestic financial assets, foreign investors often startwith foreign currency and must exchange it for domestic currency before they can buy thedomestic assets. The exchange creates a supply of foreign currency. Sales of foreignfinancial assets that the country's residents had previously acquired, and borrowing fromforeigners by this country's residents are other forms of capital inflow that can createsupply of foreign currency.You have access to the following three spot exchange rates:＄0.01/YEN＄0.20/KRONE25YEN/KRONEYou strat with dollars and want to end up with dollarsa.hoe would you engage in arbitrage to profit from these three rates?what is the profit for each dollar used initially?a.The cross rate between the yen and the krone is too high (the yen value of the krone is toohigh) relative to the dollar-foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, in a profitabletriangular arbitrage, you want to sell kroner at the high cross rate. The arbitrage will be:Use dollars to buy kroner at $0.20/krone, use these kroner to buy yen at 25 yen/krone, anduse the yen to buy dollars at $0.01/yen. For each dollar that you sell initially, you canobtain 5 kroner, these 5 kroner can obtain 125 yen, and the 125 yen can obtain $1.25. Thearbitrage profit for each dollar is therefore 25 cents.b.As a result of this arbitrage,what is the pressure on the cross-rate between yen and krone?what must the value of the cross-rate be to eliminate the opportunity for triangular arbitrage?b.Selling kroner to buy yen puts downward pressure on the cross rate (the yen price ofkrone). The value of the cross rate must fall to 20 (=0.20/0.01) yen/krone to eliminate theopportunity for triangular arbitrage, assuming that the dollar exchange rates areunchanged.Explain the nature of the exchange rate risk for each of the following,from the perspective of the U.S frim or person.in your answer,include whether each is a long or short position in foreign currency.a.a small U.S firm sold experimental computer computer compoments to a Japanese firm,and it will receive payment of 1 million yen in 60 days.a.The U.S. firm has an asset position in yen—it has a long position in yen. To hedge itsexposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchange contractnow in which the firm commits to sell yen and receive dollars at the current forward rate.The contract amounts are to sell 1 million yen and receive $9,000, both in 60 days.The current spot exchange rate is ＄1.20/euro.the current 90-day forward exchange rate is＄1.18/euro.you expect the spot rate to be ＄1.22/euro in 90 days.how would you speculate using a forward contract?if many people speculate in this way,what pressure is placed on the walue of the current forward exchange rate?Relative to your expected spot value of the euro in 90 days ($1.22/euro), the currentforward rate of the euro ($1.18/euro) is low—the forward value of the euro is relativelylow. Using the principle of "buy low, sell high," you can speculate by entering into aforward contract now to buy euros at $1.18/euro. If you are correct in your expectation,then in 90 days you will be able to immediately resell those euros for $1.22/euro,pocketing a profit of $0.04 for each euro that you bought forward. If many peoplespeculate in this way, then massive purchases now of euros forward (increasing thedemand for euros forward) will tend to drive up the forward value of the euro, toward acurrent forward rate of $1.22/euro.The following rates are available in the markets:Current spot exchange rate:＄0.500/SFrCurrent 30-day forward exchange rate:＄0.505/SFrAnnualized interest rate on 30-day dollar-denominated bonds:12%(1.0% for 30 days)Annualized interest rate on 30-day Swiss franc-denominated bonds:6%(0.5% for 30 days)a.Is the swiss franc at a forward premium or discount?a.The Swiss franc is at a forward premium. Its current forward value ($0.505/SFr) is greaterthan its current spot value ($0.500/SFr).b.should a U.S-based investor make a covered investment in swiss franc-denominated 30-day bonds,rather than investing 30-day dollar-denominated bonds?Explain.b.The covered interest differential "in favor of Switzerland" is ((1 + 0.005) (0.505) / 0.500)- (1 + 0.01) = 0.005. (Note that the interest rate used must match the time period of theinvestment.) There is a covered interest differential of 0.5% for 30 days (6 percent at anannual rate). The U.S. investor can make a higher return, covered against exchange raterisk, by investing in SFr-denominated bonds, so presumably the investor should make thiscovered investment. Although the interest rate on SFr-denominated bonds is lower thanthe interest rate on dollar-denominated bonds, the forward premium on the franc is largerthan this difference, so that the covered investment is a good idea.c.Because of covered interest arbitrage,what pressures are placed on the various rates?if the only rate that actually changes is forward exchange rate,to what value will it bu driven?c.The lack of demand for dollar-denominated bonds (or the supply of these bonds asinvestors sell them in order to shift into SFr-denominated bonds) puts downward pressureon the prices of U.S. bonds—upward pressure on U.S. interest rates. The extra demandfor the franc in the spot exchange market (as investors buy SFr in order to buySFr-denominated bonds) puts upward pressure on the spot exchange rate. The extrademand for SFr-denominated bonds puts upward pressure on the prices of Swissbonds—downward pressure on Swiss interest rates. The extra supply of francs in theforward market (as U.S. investors cover their SFr investments back into dollars) putsdownward pressure on the forward exchange rate. If the only rate that changes is theforward exchange rate, this rate must fall to about $0.5025/SFr. With this forward rate andthe other initial rates, the covered interest differential is close to zero.Why is testing whether uncovered interest parity holds for actual rates more difficult than testing whether covered interest parity holds?In testing covered interest parity, all of the interest rates and exchange rates that areneeded to calculate the covered interest differential are rates that can observed in the bondand foreign exchange markets. Determining whether the covered interest differential isabout zero (covered interest parity) is then straightforward (although some more subtleissues regarding timing of transactions may also need to be addressed). In order to testuncovered interest parity, we need to know not only three rates—two interest rates and thecurrent spot exchange rate—that can be observed in the market, but also one rate—theexpected future spot exchange rate—that is not observed in any market. The tester thenneeds a way to find out about investors' expectations. One way is to ask them, using asurvey, but they may not say exactly what they really think. Another way is to examinethe actual uncovered interest differential after we know what the future spot exchange rateactually turns out to be, and see whether the statistical characteristics of the actualuncovered differential are consistent with an expected uncovered differential of aboutzero (uncovered interest parity)the following rates currently exist:spot exchange rate:＄1.000/euro.Annual interest rate on 180-day euro-denominated bonds:3%Annual interest rate on 180-day U.S dollar-denominated bonds:4%Ibvestors currently expect the spot exchange rate to be about＄1.005/euro in180 days.a.show that uncovered interest parity holds(approximately)at these ratesa.The euro is expected to appreciate at an annual rate of approximately ((1.005 -1.000)/1.000)⊕(360/180)⊕100 = 1%. The expected uncovered interest differential isapproximately 3% + 1% - 4% = 0, so uncovered interest parity holds (approximately).What is likely to be the effect on the spot eschange rate if the interest rate on 180-day dollar-denominated bonds declines to 3%? If the euro interest rate and the expected future spot rate are unchanged,and if uncovered interest parity is reestablished,what will the new current spot exchange rate be?has the dollar appreciated or depreciated?b.If the interest rate on 180-day dollar-denominated bonds declines to 3%, then the spotexchange rate is likely to increase—the euro will appreciate, the dollar depreciate. At theinitial current spot exchange rate, the initial expected future spot exchange rate, and theinitial euro interest rate, the expected uncovered interest differential shifts in favor ofinvesting in euro-denominated bonds (the expected uncovered differential is now positive,3% + 1% - 3% = 1%, favoring uncovered investment in euro-denominated bonds. Theincreased demand for euros in the spot exchange market tends to appreciate the euro. Ifthe euro interest rate and the expected future spot exchange rate remain unchanged, thenthe current spot rate must change immediately to be $1.005/euro, to reestablish uncoveredinterest parity. When the current spot rate jumps to this value, the euro's exchange ratevalue is not expected to change in value subsequently during the next 180 days. Thedollar has depreciated immediately, and the uncovered differential then again is zero (3%+ 0% - 3% = 0)You observe the following current rates:Spot exchange rate:＄0.01/yenAnnual interest rate on 90-day U.S dollar-denominated bonds:4%Annual interest rate on 90-day yen-denominated bonds:4%a.if uncovered interest parity holds,what spot exchange rate do investors expect to exist in 90 days?a.For uncovered interest parity to hold, investors must expect that the rate of change in thespot exchange-rate value of the yen equals the interest rate differential, which is zero.Investors must expect that the future spot value is the same as the current spot value,$0.01/yen.b.a close U.S presidential has just been decided.the candidate whom international investors view as the stronger and more probusiness person won.because of this,investors expect the exchange rate to be＄0.0095/yen in 90 days.what will happen in the foreign exchange market?b.If investors expect that the exchange rate will be $0.0095/yen, then they expect the yen todepreciate from its initial spot value during the next 90 days. Given the other rates,investors tend to shift their investments toward dollar-denominated investments. Theextra supply of yen (and demand for dollars) in the spot exchange market results in adecrease in the current spot value of the yen (the dollar appreciates). The shift toexpecting that the yen will depreciate (the dollar appreciate) sometime during the next 90days tends to cause the yen to depreciate (the dollar to appreciate) immediately in thecurrent spot market.To aid in its efforts to get reelected,the current government of o country decides to increase the growth rate of the domestic money supply by two percentage points.the increased growth rate becomes”permanene”because once started it is difficult to reverse.a.according to the monetary approach,how will this affect the long-run trend for the exchange rate value of the country’s currency?a.Because the growth rate of the domestic money supply (M s ) is two percentage pointshigher than it was previously, the monetary approach indicates that the exchange ratevalue (e) of the foreign currency will be higher than it otherwise would be—that is, theexchange rate value of the country's currency will be lower. Specifically, the foreigncurrency will appreciate by two percentage points more per year, or depreciate by twopercentage points less.

国际金融部分重要课后习题答案
【国际金融】课后习题答案Suggested Answer for International FinanceChap 22. Disagree, at least as a general statement. One meaning of a current account surplus is that the country is exporting more goods and services than it is importing. One might easily judge that this is not good—the country is producing goods and services that are exported, but the country is not at the same time getting the imports of goods and services that would allow it do more consumption and domestic investment. In this way a current account deficit might be considered good—the extra imports allow the country to consume and invest domestically more than the value of its current production. Another meaning of a current account surplus is that the country is engaging in foreign financial investment—it is building up its claims on foreigners, and this adds to national wealth. This sounds good, but as noted above it comes at the cost of foregoing current domestic purchases of goods and services. A current account deficit is the country running down its claims on foreigners or increasing its indebtedness to foreigners. This sounds bad, but it comes with the benefit of higher levels of current domestic expenditure. Different countries at different times may weigh the balance of these costs and benefits differently, so that we cannot simply say that a current account surplus is better than a current account deficit.4. Disagree. If the country has a surplus (a positive value) for its official settlements balance, then the value for its official reserves balance must be a negative value of the same amount (so that the two add to zero). A negative value for this asset item means that funds are flowing out in order for the country to acquire more of these kinds of assets. Thus, the country is increasing its holdings of official reserve assets.6. Item e is a transaction in which foreign official holdings ofU.S.assets increase. This is a positive (credit) item for official reserve assets and a negative (debit) item for private capital flows as the U.S. bank acquires pound bank deposits. The debit item contributes to aU.S.deficit in the official settlements balance (while the credit item is recorded "below the line," permitting the official settlements balance to be in deficit). All other transactions involve debit and credit items both of which are included in the official settlements balance, so that they do not directly contribute to a deficit (or surplus) in the official settlements balance.8. a. Merchandise trade balance: $330 - 198 = $132Goods and services balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 = $124Current account balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 = $119Official settlements balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 + 102 - 202 + 4 = $23b. Change in official reserve assets (net) = - official settlements balance = -$23.The country is increasing its net holdings of official reserve assets. 10. a. International investment position (billions): $30 + 20 + 15 - 40 - 25 = $0.The country is neither an international creditor nor a debtor. Its holding of international assets equals its liabilities to foreigners.b. A current account surplus permits the country to add to its net claims on foreigners. For this reason the country's international investment position will become a positive value. The flow increase in net foreign assets results in the stock of net foreign assets becoming positive.Chap 32. Exports of merchandise and services result in supply of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market. Domestic sellers often want to be paid using domestic currency, while the foreign buyers want to pay in their currency. In the process of paying for these exports, foreign currency is exchanged for domestic currency, creating supply of foreign currency. International capital inflows result in a supply of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market. In making investments in domestic financial assets, foreigninvestors often start with foreign currency and must exchange it for domestic currency before they can buy the domestic assets. The exchange creates a supply of foreign currency. Sales of foreign financial assets that the country's residents had previously acquired, and borrowing from foreigners by this country's residents are other forms of capital inflow that can create supply of foreign currency.4. TheU.S.firm obtains a quotation from its bank on the spot exchange rate for buying yen with dollars. If the rate is acceptable, the firm instructs its bank that it wants to use dollars from its dollar checking account to buy 1 million yen at this spot exchange rate. It also instructs its bank to send the yen to the bank account of the Japanese firm. To carry out this instruction, the U.S. bank instructs its correspondent bank inJapanto take 1 million yen from its account at the correspondent bank and transfer the yen to the bank account of the Japanese firm. (The U.S. bank could also use yen at its own branch if it has a branch inJapan.)6. The trader would seek out the best quoted spot rate for buying euros with dollars, either through direct contact with traders at other banks or by using the services of a foreign exchange broker. The trader would use the best rate to buy euro spot. Sometime in the next hour or so (or, typically at least by the end of the day), the trader will enter the interbank market again, to obtain the best quoted spot rate for selling euros for dollars. The trader will use the best spot rate to sell her previously acquired euros. If the spot value of the euro has risen during this short time, the trader makes a profit.8. a. The cross rate between the yen and the krone is too high (the yen value of the krone is too high) relative to the dollar-foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, in a profitable triangular arbitrage, you want to sell kroner at the high cross rate. The arbitrage will be: Use dollars to buy kroner at $0.20/krone, use these kroner to buy yen at 25 yen/krone, and use the yen to buy dollars at $0.01/yen. For each dollar that you sell initially, you can obtain 5 kroner, these 5 kroner can obtain 125 yen, and the 125 yen can obtain $1.25. The arbitrage profit for each dollar is therefore 25 cents.b. Selling kroner to buy yen puts downward pressure on the cross rate (the yen price of krone). The value of the cross rate must fall to 20 (=0.20/0.01)yen/krone to eliminate the opportunity for triangular arbitrage, assuming that the dollar exchange rates are unchanged.10. a. The increase in supply of Swiss francs puts downward pressure on the exchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.b. The increase in supply of francs puts downward pressure on the exchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.c. The increase in supply of francs puts downward pressure on the exchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.d. The decrease in demand for francs puts downward pressure on the exchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.Chap 42. You will need data on four market rates: The current interest rate (or yield) on bonds issued by the U.S. government that mature in one year, the current interest rate (or yield) on bonds issued by the British government that mature in one year, the current spot exchange rate between the dollar and pound, and the current one-year forward exchange rate between the dollar and pound. Do these rates result in a covered interest differential that is very close to zero?4. a. TheU.S.firm has an asset position in yen—it has a long position in yen. To hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchange contract now in which the firm commits to sell yen andreceive dollars at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell 1 million yen and receive $9,000, both in 60 days.b. The student has an asset position in yen—a long position in yen. To hedge the exposure to exchange rate risk, the student should enter into a forward exchange contract now in which the student commits to sell yen and receive dollars at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell 10 million yen and receive $90,000, both in 60 days.c. TheU.S.firm has an liability position in yen—a short position in yen. To hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchange contract now in which the firm commits to sell dollars and receive yen at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell $900,000 and receive 100 million yen, both in 60 days.6. Relative to your expected spot value of the euro in 90 days($1.22/euro), the current forward rate of the euro ($1.18/euro) is low—the forward value of the euro is relatively low. Using the principle of "buy low, sell high," you can speculate by entering into a forward contract now to buy euros at $1.18/euro. If you are correct in your expectation, then in 90 days you will be able to immediately resell those euros for $1.22/euro, pocketing a profit of $0.04 for each euro that you bought forward. If many people speculate in this way, then massive purchases now of euros forward (increasing the demand for euros forward) will tend to drive up the forward value of the euro, toward a current forward rate of $1.22/euro.8. a. The Swiss franc is at a forward premium. Its current forward value ($0.505/SFr) is greater than its current spot value ($0.500/SFr).b. The covered interest differential "in favor ofSwitzerland" is ((1 +0.005)×(0.505) / 0.500) - (1 + 0.01) = 0.005. (Note that the interest rate used must match the time period of the investment.) There is a covered interest differential of 0.5% for 30 days (6 percent at an annual rate). TheU.S.investor can make a higher return, covered against exchange rate risk, by investing in SFr-denominated bonds, so presumably the investor should make this coveredinvestment. Although the interest rate on SFr-denominated bonds is lower than the interest rate on dollar-denominated bonds, the forward premium on the franc is larger than this difference, so that the covered investment is a good idea.c. The lack of demand for dollar-denominated bonds (or the supply of these bonds as investors sell them in order to shift into SFr-denominated bonds) puts downward pressure on the prices ofU.S.bonds—upward pressureonU.S.interest rates. The extra demand for the franc in the spot exchange market (as investors buy SFr in order to buy SFr-denominated bonds) puts upward pressure on the spot exchange rate. The extra demand forSFr-denominated bonds puts upward pressure on the prices of Swiss bonds—downward pressure on Swiss interest rates. The extra supply of francs in the forward market (asU.S.investors cover their SFr investments back into dollars) puts downward pressure on the forward exchange rate. If the only rate that changes is the forward exchange rate, this rate must fall to about$0.5025/SFr. With this forward rate and the other initial rates, the covered interest differential is close to zero.10. In testing covered interest parity, all of the interest rates and exchange rates that are needed to calculate the covered interest differential are rates that can observed in the bond and foreign exchange markets. Determining whether the covered interest differential is about zero (covered interest parity) is then straightforward (although some more subtle issues regarding timing of transactions may also need to be addressed). In order to test uncovered interest parity, we need to know not only three rates—two interest rates and the current spot exchange rate—that can be observed in the market, but also one rate—the expected future spot exchange rate—that is not observed in any market. The tester then needs a way to find out about investors' expectations. One way is to ask them, using a survey, but they may not say exactly what they really think. Another way is to examine the actual uncovered interest differential after we know what the future spot exchange rate actually turns out to be, and see whether the statistical characteristics of the actual uncovered differential are consistent with an expected uncovered differential of about zero (uncovered interest parity).Chap 52. a. The euro is expected to appreciate at an annual rate of approximately ((1.005 - 1.000)/1.000)×(360/180)×100 = 1%. The expected uncovered interest differential is approximately 3% + 1% - 4% = 0, so uncovered interest parity holds (approximately).b. If the interest rate on 180-day dollar-denominated bonds declines to 3%, then the spot exchange rate is likely to increase—the euro will appreciate, the dollar depreciate. At the initial current spot exchange rate, the initial expected future spot exchange rate, and the initial euro interest rate, the expected uncovered interest differential shifts in favor of investing in euro-denominated bonds (the expected uncovered differential is now positive, 3% + 1% - 3% = 1%, favoring uncovered investment in euro-denominated bonds. The increased demand for euros in the spot exchange market tends to appreciate the euro. If the euro interest rate and the expected future spot exchange rate remain unchanged, then the current spot rate must change immediately to be $1.005/euro, to reestablish uncovered interest parity. When the current spot rate jumps to this value, the euro's exchange rate value is not expected to change in value subsequently during the next 180 days. The dollar has depreciated immediately, and the uncovered differential then again is zero (3% + 0% - 3% = 0).4. a. For uncovered interest parity to hold, investors must expect that the rate of change in the spot exchange-rate value of the yen equals the interest rate differential, which is zero. Investors must expect that the future spot value is the same as the current spot value, $0.01/yen.b. If investors expect that the exchange rate will be $0.0095/yen, then they expect the yen to depreciate from its initial spot value during the next 90 days. Given the other rates, investors tend to shift their investments towarddollar-denominated investments. The extra supply of yen (and demand for dollars) in the spot exchange market results in a decrease in the current spot value of the yen (the dollar appreciates). The shift to expecting that the yen will depreciate (the dollar appreciate) sometime during the next 90 days tends to cause the yen to depreciate (the dollar to appreciate) immediately in the current spot market.6. The law of one price will hold better for gold. Gold can be traded easily so that any price differences would lead to arbitrage that would tend to push gold prices (stated in a common currency by converting prices using market exchange rates) back close to equality. Big Macs cannot be arbitraged. If price differences exist, there is no arbitrage pressure, so the price differences can persist. The prices of Big Macs (stated in a common currency) vary widely around the world.8. According to PPP, the exchange rate value of the DM (relative to the dollar) has risen since the early 1970s because Germany has experienced less inflation than has the United States—the product price level has risen less in Germany since the early 1970s than it has risen in the United States. According to the monetary approach, the German price level has not risen as much because the German money supply has increased less than the money supply has increased in theUnited States, relative to the growth rates of real domestic production in the two countries. The British pound is the opposite case—more inflation inBritainthan in theUnited States, and higher money growth inBritain.10. a. Because the growth rate of the domestic money supply (M s) is two percentage points higher than it was previously, the monetary approach indicates that the exchange rate value (e) of the foreign currency will be higher than it otherwise would be—that is, the exchange rate value of the country's currency will be lower. Specifically, the foreign currency will appreciate by two percentage points more per year, or depreciate by two percentage points less. That is, the domestic currency will depreciate by two percentage points more per year, or appreciate by two percentage points less.b. The faster growth of the country's money supply eventually leads to a faster rate of inflation of the domestic price level (P). Specifically, the inflation rate will be two percentage points higher than it otherwise would be. According to relative PPP, a faster rate of increase in the domestic price level (P) leads toa higher rate of appreciation of the foreign currency.12. a. For theUnited Statesin 1975, 20,000 = k×100×800, or k = 0.25.For Pugelovia in 1975, 10,000 = k×100×200, or k = 0.5.b. For theUnited States, the quantity theory of money with a constant k means that the quantity equation with k = 0.25 should hold in 2002: 65,000 = 0.25×260×1,000. It does. Because the quantity equation holds for both years with the same k, the change in the price level from 1975 to 2002 is consistent with the quantity theory of money with a constant k. Similarly, for Pugelovia, the quantity equation with k = 0.5 should hold for 2002, and it does (58,500 = 0.5×390×300).14.a. The tightening typically leads to an immediate increase in the country's interest rates. In addition, the tightening probably also results in investors' expecting that the exchange-rate value of the country's currency is likely to be higher in the future. The higher expected exchange-rate value for the currency is based on the expectation that the country's price level will be lower in the future, and PPP indicates that the currency will then be stronger. For both of these reasons, international investors will shift toward investing in this country's bonds. The increase in demand for the country's currency in the spot exchange market causes the current exchange-rate value of the currency to increase. The currency may appreciate a lot because the current exchange rate must "overshoot" its expected future spot value. Uncovered interest parity is reestablished with a higher interest rate and a subsequent expected depreciation of the currency.b. If everything else is rather steady, the exchange rate (the domestic currency price of foreign currency) is likely to decrease quickly by a large amount. After this jump, the exchange rate may then increase gradually toward its long-run value—the value consistent with PPP in the long run.Chap 62. We often use the term pegged exchange rate to refer to a fixed exchange rate, because fixed rates generally are not fixed forever. An adjustable peg is an exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency can be changed from time to time, but usually it is changed rather seldom (for instance, not more than once every several years). Acrawling peg is an exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency is changed often (for instance, weekly or monthly), sometimes according to indicators such as the difference in inflation rates.4. Disagree. If a country is expected to impose exchange controls, which usually make it more difficult to move funds out of the country in the future, investors are likely to try to shift funds out of the country now before the controls are imposed. The increase in supply of domestic currency into the foreign exchange market (or increase in demand for foreign currency) puts downward pressure on the exchange rate value of the country's currency—the currency tends to depreciate.6. a. The market is attempting to depreciate the pnut (appreciate the dollar) toward a value of 3.5 pnuts per dollar, which is outside of the top of the allowable band (3.06 pnuts per dollar). In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian monetary authorities could use official intervention to buy pnuts (in exchange for dollars). Buying pnuts prevents the pnut’s value from declining (selling dollars prevents the dollar’s value from rising). The intervention satisfies the excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate.b. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian government could impose exchange controls in which some private individuals who want to sell pnuts and buy dollars are told that they cannot legally do this (or cannot do this without government permission, and not all requests are approved by the government). By artificially restricting the supply of pnuts (and the demand for dollars), the Pugelovian government can force the remaining private supply and demand to "clear" within the allowable band. The exchange controls attempt to stifle the excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate.c. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian government could increase domestic interest rates (perhaps by a lot). The higher domestic interest rates shift the incentives for international capital flows toward investments in Pugelovian bonds. The increased flow of international financial capital into Pugelovia increases the demand for pnuts on the foreign exchange market. (Also, the decreased flow of international financial capitalout of Pugelovia reduces the supply of pnuts on the foreign exchange market.) By increasing the demand for pnuts (and decreasing the supply), the Pugelovian government can induce the private market to clear within the allowable band. The increased domestic interest rates attempt to shift the private supply and demand curves so that there is no excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate value.8. a. The gold standard was a fixed rate system. The government of each country participating in the system agreed to buy or sell gold in exchange for its own currency at a fixed price of gold (in terms of its own currency). Because each currency was fixed to gold, the exchange rates between currencies also tended to be fixed, because individuals could arbitrage between gold and currencies if the currency exchange rates deviated from those implied by the fixed gold prices.b.Britainwas central to the system, because the British economy was the leader in industrialization and world trade, and becauseBritainwas considered financially secure and prudent.Britainwas able and willing to run payments deficits that permitted many other countries to run payments surpluses. The other countries used their surpluses to build up their holdings of gold reserves (and of international reserves in the form of sterling-denominated assets). These other countries were satisfied with the rate of growth of their holdings of liquid reserve assets, and most countries were able to avoid the crisis of running low on international reserves.c. During the height of the gold standard, from about 1870 to 1914, the economic shocks to the system were mild. A major shock—World War I—caused many countries to suspend the gold standard.d. Speculation was generally stabilizing, both for the exchange rates between the currencies of countries that were adhering to the gold standard, and for the exchange rates of countries that temporarily allowed their currencies to float.10. a. The Bretton Woods system was an adjustable pegged exchange rate system. Countries committed to set and defend fixed exchange rates, financing temporary payments imbalances out of their official reserve holdings. If a "fundamental disequilibrium" in a country's international payments developed, the country could change the value of its fixed exchange rate to a new value.b. TheUnited Stateswas central to the system. As the Bretton Woods system evolved, it became essentially a gold-exchange standard. The monetary authorities of other countries committed to peg the exchange rate values of their currencies to the U.S. dollar. TheU.S.monetary authority committed to buy and sell gold in exchange for dollars with other countries' monetary authorities at a fixed dollar price of gold.c. To a large extent speculation was stabilizing, both for the fixed rates followed by most countries, and for the exchange rate value of the Canadian dollar, which floated during 1950-62. However, the pegged exchange rate values of currencies sometimes did come under speculative pressure. International investors and speculators sometimes believed that they had a one-way speculative bet against currencies that were considered to be "in trouble.” If the country did manage to defend the pegged exchange rate value of its currency, the investors betting against the currency would lose little. They stood to gain a lot of profit if the currency was devalued. Furthermore, the large speculative flows against the currency required large interventions to defend the currency's pegged value, so that the government was more likely to run so low on official reserves that it was forced to devalue.12. a. The dollar bloc and the euro bloc. A number of countries peg their currencies to the U.S. dollar. A number of European countries use the euro, and, in addition, a number of other countries peg their currencies to the euro.b. The other major currencies that float independently include (as of the beginning of 2002) the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Swiss franc.c. The exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the other major currencies have been floating since the early 1970s. The movements in these rates exhibit trends in the long run—over the entire period since the early 1970s. The rates also show substantial variability or volatility in the short and medium runs—periods of less than one year to periods of several years. The long run trends appear to be reasonably consistent with the economic fundamentals emphasized by purchasing power parity—differences in national inflation rates. The variability or volatility in the short or medium run is controversial. It may simply represent rational responses to the continuing flow of economic and political news that has implications for exchange rate values. The effects on rates can be large and rapid, because overshooting occurs as rates respond to important news. However, some part of the large volatility may also reflect speculative bandwagons that lead to bubbles that subsequently burst.Chap 82. Disagree. The recession in theUnited StatesreducesU.S.national income, soU.S.residents reduce spending on all kinds of things, including spending on imports. The decrease inU.S.imports is a decrease in the exports of other countries, includingEurope’s exports to theUnited States. The reduction in European exports reduces production inEurope, so the growth of real GDP inEuropedeclines. A recession in theUnited Statesis likely to lower the growth of European real GDP.4. a. The spending multiplier in this small open economy is about 1.82 (=1/(0.15 + 0.4)). If real spending initially declines by $2 billion, then domestic product and income will decline by about $3.64 billion (= 1.82 ´ $2 billion)b. If domestic product and income decline by $3.64 billion, then the country's imports will decline by about $1.46 billion (= $3.64 billion ´ 0.4).c. The decrease in this country's imports reduces other countries' exports, so foreign product and income decline.。

An arbitrager could purchase 3 francs with $1, purchase 6 schilling with 3 francs, and sell 6schilling for $1.50. Ignoring transaction costs, the arbitrager realizes a $0.50 profit on the transactions.2. a. The U.S. speculator should sell francs today for delivery in 3 months at today'sforward rate of the franc, which equals $0.50.b. After 3 months, if the franc's spot rate is $0.40, the speculator can purchase francsat the price of $0.40 each and deliver them for the previously contracted rate of$0.50 per franc; the speculator realizes a profit of $0.10 on each franc which theforward contract specifies. If the franc's spot rate after 3 months is $0.60, thespeculator must purchase francs at a price of $0.60 per franc and resell them at aprice of $0.50 per franc; the speculator would suffer losses of $0.10 on each francspecified in the forward contract. If the franc's spot rate after 3 months is $0.50,the speculator realizes neither a profit nor a loss on the transaction.3. a. The U.S. importer can cover her foreign exchange risk by purchasing 20,000 poundsfor three-month delivery at today's three-month forward rate of $1.75 per pound.The importer is willing to pay 5 cents more per pound than today's spot rate toguard against the possibility that the spot rate in three months will exceed $1.70 perpound. In three months, when her payments are due, the importer will pay$35,000 and get the 20,000 pounds needed for payment, irrespective of what thepound's spot rate is at that time.b. If the spot rate of the pound in three months is $1.80 per pound, and the U.S.importer does not obtain forward cover, she must pay $36,000 for the 20,000pounds; this amount exceeds by $1000 the cost of the pounds she incurs byhedging.4. a. 1.7090, 1.7105, 1.7084, 1.7099, 1.7081, 1.7096, 1.7090, 1.7103.b. $0.5851 per franc, $1.7090 francs per dollar.c.

The 90-day forward franc was at a premium of $.0003 whichequals 0.2 percent on an annual basis.5. Arbitragers will buy pounds in New York, at $1.69 per pound, and sell pounds in London, at$1.71 per pound, thus making a profit of 2 cents on each pound. As pounds are bought in New York, their prices rises; as pounds are sold in London, their price falls. When the dollar price of the pound equalizes in the financial centers, the profitability of arbitrage ceases and the practice stops.6. a. The U.S. investor would purchase pounds on the spot market at $2 per pound, anduse the pounds to buy U.K. treasury bills in London; he would earn 4 percentannually more than he would if he had purchased U.S. treasury bills in New York.b.

(完整word版)托马斯国际金融课后习题答案
Suggested answers to questions and problems（in the textbook）Chapter 22. Disagree, at least as a general statement。
One meaning of a current accountsurplus is that the country is exporting more goods and services than it isimporting。
One might easily judge that this is not good—the country isproducing goods and services that are exported，but the country is not at the same time getting the imports of goods and services that would allow it do more consumption and domestic investment. In this way a current account deficitmight be considered good—the extra imports allow the country to consume and invest domestically more than the value of its current production. Anothermeaning of a current account surplus is that the country is engaging in foreign financial investment—it is building up its claims on foreigners, and this adds to national wealth。

In 6 months , it will pay £30,000 for the car. It worried that pound ster1ing might rise sharply from the current rate($1.90). So, the company bought a 6 month pound call (supposed contract size = £35,000) with a strike price of $1.90 for a premium of 2.3 cents/£.(1)Is hedging in the options market better if the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months?(2)what did the exchange rate have to be for the company to break even?（15%）Solution:(1)If the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months, the U.S. company would exercise the pound call option. The sum of the strike price and premium is$1.90 + $0.023 = $1.9230/£This is bigger than $1.92.So hedging in the options market is not better.(2) when we say the company can break even, we mean that hedging or not hedging doesn’t matter.
