If the Euro-Dollar exchange rate moves to $1.25/Euro from $1.10/Euro a year ago, what is the percentage change of Dollar? [Please remember that you have to convert the exchange rates into indirect quotes for Dollar in this case as one of the video lectures discusses. ]
initial exchange rate: 1 euro = $1.25
New exchange rate: 1 euro = $1.10
Percentage change in dollar = [(new exchange rate - initial exchange rate) / Initial exchange rate] * 100
Percentage change in dollar = [($1.10 - $1.25) / $1.25] * 100
Percentage change in dollar = (-$0.15 / $1.25) * 100
Percentage change in dollar = -12%
Value of dollar decreased by 12%

You are an Australian treasurer with AUD1,000,000 to invest. The Australian dollar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.60 = €1.00 and the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00. If a bank quotes you a cross rate of £1.00 = €1.25, how much money can an astute trader make? Select one: a. AUD 250,000 b. AUD 500,000 c. AUD 1,160,000 d. No arbitrage profit is possible

Suppose that the euro is trading at $1.25 per euro in the foreign exchange market. Next, suppose that the exchange rate falls to $0.88 per euro, due to falling interest rates in the eurozone. The following graph shows the supply and demand curves for dollars in the foreign exchange market. On the following graph, shift either the supply curve for dollars or the demand curve for dollars to reflect the influence of "carry trade" (in isolation from other factors that...
Suppose the one-year forward $7€ exchange rate is $1.9 per euro and the spot exchange rate is $1.6 per euro. What is the forward premium on euros (the forward discount on dollars)?
