2. Analyze the foreign-currency return for Portfolio B. Justify your choice.

Justification
The domestic-currency return for Portfolio B is 0%, and the EUR appreciated 5% against the USD; therefore, the foreign-currency return for Portfolio B is necessarily negative.
The domestic-currency return on a foreign portfolio will reflect both the foreign-currency return on the portfolio and the percentage movements in the spot exchange rate between the domestic and foreign currency. The domestic-currency return is multiplicative with respect to these two factors:
RDC = (1 + RFC)(1 + RFX) – 1
where RDC is the domestic-currency return (in percent), RFC is the foreign-currency return of the asset (portfolio), and RFX is the percentage change of the foreign currency against the domestic currency. (Note that once again, the domestic currencythe USDis the price currency in the USD/EUR quote for RFX.)
Solving for RFC: (1 + RFC)(1 + 5%) – 1 = 0%; RFC = –4.76%
请问这里EUR升值,USD贬值,在计算Portfolio B时,5%应该用负数吗?谢谢
