Assume the current U. S. dollar-yen spot rate is 125¥/$. Further, the current nominal 180-day rate of return in Japan is 3% and 4% in the United States. What is the approximate forward exchange rate for 180 days?

124.39Y/$

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the approximate forward exchange rate for 180 days

Using this formula

Forward exchange rate/spot exchange rate = [(1+rh)/(1+rf)]*r

Where,

rh = periodic interest rate in the home currency

rf = periodic interest rate in the foreign currency

r=Spot rate

Forward exchange rate= [1+3%*180/360]/[1+4%*180/360]*125¥/$.

Forward exchange rate = 1.015/1.02* 125¥/$

Forward exchange rate= 124.39Y/$

Therefore the approximate forward exchange rate for 180 days is 124.39Y/$
