If annualized interest in the U.S. and France are 9% and 13%, respectively, and the spot value of the French franc is $0.1109, then at what 180-day forward rate will interest rate parity hold

Answer:

0.1130 FF/$

Explanation:

Spot value = 0.1109 FF/$

Interest rate in US for 180 days = 9%*180/365 = 0.044384

Interest rate in France for 180 days = 13%*180/365 = 0.06411

Forward rate = Spot value*(1+Interest rate in US)/(1+Interest rate in France)

Forward rate = 0.1109*(1+0.06411)/(1+0.044384)

Forward rate = 0.1109*(1.06411/1.044384)

Forward rate = 0.1109* 1.018888      

Forward rate = 0.1130 FF/$
