Question 31

Suppose that Richard Flare, a North Carolina-based investor, has $1,000,000 to invest for six months. Flare is considering the purchase of U.S. Treasury bills that yield the six-month (i.e. non-annualized) rate of 2.545% and have a maturity of 26 weeks, or a six-month debt security issued by Mizuho Bank, a Tokyo-based financial corporation, that is expected to have a similar risk level. If the spot exchange rate is $1=150 and the six-month forward rate is $1.00=155, please answer:
What will be the six-month interest rate offered by Mizuho based on which Flare will be indifferent between investing in six-month Treasury bills or six-month debt securities issued by Mizuho?
