Greensboro, Inc., needs $4 million for one year. It currently has no business in Japan but plans to borrow Japanese yen from a Japanese bank, because the Japanese interest rate is three per­centage points lower than the U.S. rate. Assume that interest rate parity exists; also assume that Greensboro believes that the one-year forward rate of the Japanese yen will exceed the future spot rate one year from now. Will the expected effective financing rate be higher than, lower than, or the same as financing with dollars?  Explain.
