Answer: 1.356345

Explanation:

Based on the scenario and information provided in the question, the 90-day forward rate will be calculated as:

= Spot Rate × (1 + Germany Interest Rate) / (1 + United States Interest Rate)

= 1.35 × (1 + 6.5%) / (1 + 6%)

= 1.35 × (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.06)

= 1.35 × 1.065/1.06

= 1.35 × 1.0047

= 1.356345
