Assume that interest rate parity (IRP) exists. You expect that the one-year nominal interest rate in the U. S. is 7%, while the one-year nominal interest rate in Australia is 11%. The spot rate of the Australian dollar is $0.60. You will need 10 million Australian dollars in one year. Today, you purchase a one-year forward contract in Australian dollars. How many U. S. dollars will you need in one year to fulfill your forward contract

US $5,784,000

Explanation:

As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate*(1+Interest rate U.S.)/(1+interest rate Australia)

= 0.60*(1.07)/(1.11)

= 0.5784 /A$

Australian Dollars required in one year = 10,000,000

U.S. Dollars required = 10,000,000 * 0.5784 /A$

U.S. Dollars required = $5,784,000

So, the number of U.S. dollars you will need in one year to fulfill the forward contract is 5,784,000.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
