Homework Answers
| Given, | ||||||||||
| Spot rate | $1.25/GBP | |||||||||
| Forward rate | $1.2/GBP | |||||||||
| Forward discount on GBP | 8% | |||||||||
| We know, | ||||||||||
| Annualised forward discount on GBP= ((Forward rate-Spot rate)/Spot rate)*100*(360/number of days of forward contract) | ||||||||||
| -8=((1.2-1.25)/1.25)*100*(360/number of days of forward contract) | ||||||||||
| Therefore by solving, | ||||||||||
| Number of days of forward contract= 180 days | ||||||||||
