Problem 1. (10 Points) Today the $/ spot exchange rate Es/y is $0.0135 per Japanese yen, the 3-month forward exchange rate Fs/y is $0.0118 per Japanese yen and the expected future spot rate Esxx in three months is equal to the 3-month forward rate. Also, the 3-month interest rate on dollars is 2.0 percent and that on yens is 3.25 percent. 1. Use UIP's approximation to analyze whether or not the spot foreign exchange market is in equilibrium? If not, explain what market mechanism will bring the market back to an equilibrium. (20 pts) 2. Use UIP's approximation to compute the uilibrinner spot exchange rate (10 pts) 3.
