Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
a)
1$ = Can $1.12
It takes a value of 1 U.S dollar to have 1.12 Canadian dollars. This signifies that the U.S dollar is worth more than Canadian dollars.
b)
Assuming that the absolute Purchasing Power Parity PPP holds,
Since 1$ = Can $1.12, the cost in the United States of an Elkhead beer, if the price in Canada is Can$2.85 can be determined to be:
=
= $2.545
c)
Yes, the U.S. dollar is selling at a premium relative to the Canadian dollar.
This is because we are being told that the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can $1.12 & in six (6) months time the forward rate will be Can $1.14.
d)
The U.S dollar is expected to appreciate in value because it is trading at a premium in the forward market.
e)
Canada has higher interest rates. This determined by using the formula:
=
where; n= numbers of years = 6 month/12 month = 0.5 year
Then;
= 0.0356
= 3.56%
