Answer:

The correct answer is (a) $1.5415

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Annual deposit rate for dollar =6%

Annual deposit rate for Euro = 4%

n = 5 years

The present spot rate of Euro =$1,4015

The next step is to obtain the implied rate for the Euro.

Thus

Implied rate = $1,4015[(1.06)/(1.04)]^5

= $1,4015 * 1.019230769^5

=$1,4015* 1.099923877

=$1.5415

Hence the implied rate for Euro 5 years from now is $1.5415
