Required: Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £90 per share. The investor has $36,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2/£. Consider three possible prices per share at £88, £93, and £98 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.80/5, $2/£, and $2.20/£ after 1 year. Calculate the standard deviation of both the pound- and dollar-denominated rates of return if each of the nine outcomes (three possible prices per share in pounds times three possible exchange-tates) is equally likely. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places.) Standard deviation of pound-denominated return Standard deviation of dollar-denominated return

Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £24 per share. The investor has $48,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2/£.Suppose now the investor also sells forward £24,000 at a forward exchange rate of $1.90/£.

The current spot exchange rate is $1.60/€ and the three-month forward rate is $1.55/€. Based on your analysis of the exchange rate, you are confident that the spot exchange rate will be $1.62/€ in three months. Assume that you would like to buy or sell €1,000,000. What actions do you need to take to speculate in the forward market? What is the expected dollar profit from speculation? A. Sell €1,000,000 forward for $1.60/€, and you expect to gain $20,000. B. Buy €1,000,000 forward for $1.55/€, and you expect to gain $70,000. C. Wait three months, if your forecast is correct buy €1,000,000 at $1.62/€. D. Buy €1,000,000 forward for $1.60/€, and you expect to gain $20,000.
