解释:
Answer:
In this case, Interest rates in India are
higher than in the United States, so the dollar is a low rate currency or
forward premium currency, the Rupee is a high rate currency or forward discount
currency.
The manager should borrow from the low-rate currency and invest in the high-rate currency to earn the difference between the two countries; or invest in the forward discount currency and borrow the forward premium currency.
