问题如下:
In spot market, AUD/USD exchange rate is 0.50248. Assume the annual interest rate is 3% in USD and 4% in AUD. What is the one-year forward USD/AUD exchange rate?
选项:
A.0.5074.
B.1.9710.
C.1.9396.
解释:
B is correct.
0.50248 x 1.04 / 1.03 = 0.50736; 1 / 0.50736 = 1.97099
考点:利率平价公式
解析:0.50248 x 1.04 / 1.03 = 0.50736; 1 / 0.50736 = 1.97099
这道题首先给的是澳币/美金spot=0.5024/1,问一年后的forward美金/澳币,我的思路是第一:把给的已知:澳币/美金写成美金/澳币=1/0.5024分之1(第一步是单位同一嘛,问的base写斜杠后面嘛);第二步:F/S在无套利的情况下是=1+Rx/1+Ry是算forward美金/澳币的公式,已经知道美金比澳币的spots是(1除以0.5024=1.9904),第三步:找F,F=1.99048乘以(1.03/1.04)=1.9904乘以0.990385=1.971262约等于1.97,对吗?(我知道我很笨拙,这个思路,为什么你给的答案的解析那么简单?)
