Introduction:
Translation exposure is a risk that is associated on the changes in exchange rates. Here, when Country U based companies are operated in foreign countries there assets, liabilities, equities, or net income values that changes due to the fluctuations in exchange rates.
In this case exchange rate variability is highly important for fixing the value for balance sheet items. The risk related with exchange rate on balance sheet items is called as transition exposure.

Suppose the 1-year domestic interest rate is 0.28, keeping in mind that means (100\times×0.28)%. Suppose also that the 1-year expected exchange rate is 59, and the current spot exchange rate is 50, both measured in domestic currency per foreign currency. What is the 1-year foreign interest rate according to uncovered interest parity?

Due to the integrated nature of their capital markets, investors in both the U.S. and U.K. require the same real interest rate, 1%, on their lending. There is a consensus in capital markets that the annual inflation rate is likely to be 3% in the U.S. and 0.5% in the U.K. for the next two years. The spot exchange rate is currently $1.320/£. What is your expected future spot dollar-pound exchange rate in two years from now?

- D4) Finance If the foreign interest rate is 4%, the risk premium on domestic assets, ρ, is 18%, and the expected rate of depreciation of the domestic currency against the foreign currency is 3%, what is the domestic interest rate in percentage terms, given covered interest parity holds? [All variables have a 1-year time frame.]arrow_forwardH10. Assume that initially, the risk premium, ρ = 0 and that the domestic and foreign interest rates are given by R = .06, R* = .05. Suppose that the risk premium depends linearly on the difference between domestic government debt, B, and domestic assets of the central bank, A, i.e., ρ = ρ (B-A) Find the new domestic interest rate if a sterilized purchase of foreign assets adjusts A s.t. (a) B - A = -.01/ ρ0 (b) B - A = .03/ ρ0arrow_forwardQ. 4 Suppose the annual interest rate in Australia is 1.5% and the interest rate in the United States is 2%. Suppose the spot USD/AUD exchange rate is $73/AUD and the exchange rate on a futures contract for delivery in one year’s time is $75/AUD. (a) Suppose Australian Reserve Bank increases the cash rate, causing Australian interest rates to rise. All else equal, would the USD/AUD exchange rate increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) An investor wants to save $6,000 USD for a year and is looking for the option with the highest guaranteed return in USD. Would an investor prefer to save $6,000 USD for a year in the United States or in Australia? To support your answer, calculate the profits under each scenario. (c) Does the interest rate parity hold?
