the 3 month forward rate is 11.0408 Peso per dollar, what

is the premium and discount relationship?

Answer - The dollar is selling at a 1.90% premium, relative

to the peso. The peso is selling at a 1.90% discount,

relative to the dollar.

Exchange Rates

Example

Swiss franc spot price is SF1.4457 per $1

Swiss franc 6 mt forward price is SF1.4282 per $1

The franc is selling at a Forward Premium

The Dollar is selling at a Forward Discount

This means that the market expects the dollar to get weaker,

relative to the franc

Example (premium? discount?)

The Japanese Yen spot price is 101.18 per $1

The Japanese 6mt fwd price is 103.52 per $1

What is the franc premium (annualized)?

franc Premium = 2 x ( 1.4457 - 1.4282) = 2.45%

Dollar Discount = 2.45%

Example

What is the Yen discount (annualized)?

Yen Discount = 2 x ( 103.52 - 101.18) = 4.26%

Example - You have the opportunity to invest

$1,000,000 for one year. All other things being

equal, you have the opportunity to obtain a 1 year

Mexican bond (in peso) @ 7.35 % or a 1 year USbond (in dollars) @ 5.05%. The spot rate is

10.9892 peso:$1 The 1 year forward rate is 11.2274

peso:$1

Value of US bond = $1,000,000 x 1.0122 = $1,050,500

Value of Mexican bond = $1,000,000 x 10.9892 = 10,989,200 peso exchange

10,989,200 peso x 1.0735 = 11,796,906 peso bond pmt

Exchange RatesAnother Example

You are doing a project in Switzerland which has an initial cost of $100,000. Allother things being equal, you have the opportunity to obtain a 1 year Swiss loan (in

francs) @ 8.0% or a 1 year US loan (in dollars) @ 10%. The spot rate is 1.4457sf:$1

The 1 year forward rate is 1.4194sf:$1

Which loan will you prefer and why? Ignore transaction costs

Cost of US loan = $100,000 x 1.10 = $110,000

Cost of Swiss Loan = $100,000 x 1.4457 = 144,570 sf exchange

144,570 sf x 1.08 = 156,135 sf loan pmt

156,135 sf / 1.4194 = $110,000 exchange

If the two loans created a different result, arbitrage exists!

Example - Honda builds a new car in Japan for a cost +profit of 1,715,000 yen. At an exchange rate of 120.700Y:$1

the car sells for $14,209 in Indianapolis. If the dollar rises

in value, against the yen, to an exchange rate of 134Y:$1,

what will be the price of the car?
