Answer - The new exchange rate for yen will be $0.0070
Reason -
New exchange rate = ( 1 + US rate ) ÷ (1 + Japan rate) * current exchange rate
= (1 + 0.03) ÷ ( 1 + 0.10) * 0.0075
= 0.9363636 * 0.0075
= 0.007022727 or $0.0070 ( rounded off)

Assume that uncovered interest rate parity holds between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar. If today the 1-year riskless interest rate in Japan is 5%, the one-year riskless interest rate in the U.S. is 1%, and the spot exchange rate is $.01 per yen, what is the expected exchange rate one-year from today? Suppose that expected inflation in the U.S. increased. What would happen to the current (spot) exchange, i.e. will it increase or decrease? Explain your reasoning.
Recent commitment of most automotive brands on electrical vehicle market has led to an increase in global demand for semiconductor chips. Assuming Japan is the only global supplier for semiconductor and due to their increasing inflation, their central bank has conducted contractionary monetary policy to fight inflation, determine what would happen to the demand of Japanese Yen, supply of Japanese Yen and the exchange rate of Yen-USD in the foreign exchange market. Explain your answer.
Jacksonville Corp. is a U.S.‑based firm that needs $600,000.
