Forward exchange rate = spot rate x ( 1+ rf) / (1+rd)
rf = foriegn currency investment rate = 6% = 0.06
rd = domestic currency exchange rate = U.K = y
assume
currency value of japan as = X = spot rate
forward exchange rate = X + 4% X = 1.04X
1.04 X = X ( 1+0.06)/(1+y)
1+y = 1.06/1.04
1+y = 1.02
y = 0.02 = 2%
So UK intrest rate = 2%
So UK intrest rate = 2%

a) If the dollar is expected to appreciate against the yen, uncovered interest parity implies that the U.S. nominal interest rate must be greater than the Japanese nominal interest rate.
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.

Uncovered Interest Parity Explain the uncovered interest parity equation. (Write it and explain it). a. b. Why would we expect it to hold? l.e. what would happen if the equation does not hold? Assume the expected $/Yen exchange rate is 0.01 dollars per yen. Further assume that the US interest rate is 8% and the Japanese interest rate is 3%. According to uncovered interest parity, what would be the current S/Yen exchange rate? Show work. c. Uncovered Interest Parity Explain...
