The one-year risk free rate in Mexico is 10%, and in the US is 5%. Assume IRP hold and that the current spot rate is 19.50 pesos/USD. Based on the information, what should be the one year forward rate?
Homework Answers
Fwd rate = Spot rate ( 1+Hi ) / ( 1+Fi)
Hi = Int Rate in Mexico
Fi = Int Rate in US
Fwd rate = Spot rate ( 1+Hi ) / ( 1+Fi)
= 19.50 Peso * ( 1 + 0.10) / ( 1+0.05)
= 19.50 * 1.1 / 1.05
= Peso 20.43
One Year Fwd rate is 1 USD = 20.43 Peso
