Inflation and Exchange Rates [LO2] Suppose the current exchange rate for the Polish zloty is Z 3.91. The expected exchange rate in three years is Z 3.98. What is the difference in the annual inflation rates for the United States and Poland over this period? Assume that the anticipated rate is constant for both countries. What relationship are you relying on in answering?
1. A one-year Japanese security is currently yielding 5%. Furthermore, it is expected that the exchange rate between the dollar and the yen is changing from 98 yen to the dollar, to 95 yen to the dollar over the next year. To invest in U.S. security rather than Japanese security, you would need a return at least equal to what value?
