Suppose that the exchange rate is $0.92/Euro. The dollar-denominatedinterest rate is 4% and the euro-denominated interest rate is 3%.u = 1.2, d = 0.9, T = 0.75, n = 3, and K = $1.00.a. What is the price of a 9-month European put?b. What is the price of a 9-month American put?
Suppose the current exchange rate is $1.42/€, the interest rate in the United States is 4.0%, the interest rate in the EU is 6%, and the volatility of the $/€ exchange rate is 20%. Using the Black-Scholes formula, the price of a three-month European call option on the Euro with a strike price of $1.45/€ will be closest to:
Select one:
a. $0.040/€
b. $0.097/€
c. $0.059/€
d. $0.078/€
Suppose current one-year interest rate in Europe is 5%, whereas one-year interest rate in the U.S. is 3%. Assume the current spot price of euro (EUR) is $1.10. Answer questions a) and b) below.
If the exchange rate movement is consistent with the international Fisher effect (IFE), what will the spot price of EUR in one year be?
Consider a trader who does not believe the IFE holds. The trader has decided to borrow $110,000 to invest in EUR-denominated deposits for one year without hedging. Recall the current EUR spot rate is $1.10. If the EUR spot rate in one year turns out to be $1.09, what will be the percentage return on this trading strategy?
