问题如下:
1. Based upon Exhibit 1, the forward premium (discount) for a 360-day INR/GBP forward contract is closest to:
选项:
A.–1.546.
B.1.546
C.1.576
解释:
C is correct.
The equation to calculate the forward premium (discount) is:
[#PZMATH192#]
[#PZMATH193#] is the spot rate with GBP the base currency or d, and INR the foreign currency or f. [#PZMATH193#] per Exhibit 1 is 79.5093,[#PZMATH195#] is equal to 7.52% and [#PZMATH196#]< is equal to 5.43%.
With GBP as the base currency (i.e. the “domestic” currency) in the INR/GBP quote, substituting in the relevant base currency values from Exhibit 1 yields the following:
[#PZMATH197#]
[#PZMATH198#]
[#PZMATH199#]
考点:利率平价公式的计算.
解析:Covered IRP:
[#PZMATH192#]
其中,GBP代表的是本币,而INR代表的是外币,于是直接代入数字到上述公式中可得:
[#PZMATH197#]
[#PZMATH198#]
[#PZMATH199#]
请问,题目并没有说IRP, 怎么样知道考的是这个知识点呢?
