As a Canadian Saver, you intend to invest $50 000 in one of the tree investments described below. The world risk free rate is 1% . There is a 2% risk premium on the Canadian discount bond but a Brazilian discount bond has a risk premium of 6%. The current nominal Cad Brazilian exchange rate is e cad = 3. ( Reals per Cad dollar). Before the pay out next period, you expect the Real to Depreciate relative to the Cad $ to a new nominal exchange rate, e future=4. Your third alternative is to by a condo in Florida. The current nominal Cad - Us exchange rate is e cad = 0.75. ( $ us per Cad dollar ) You expect the condo to increase in resale value by 20% but you also forecast the exchange rate to rise to ecad=0.80.
