FMI Chapter 9 Q10. Suppose that a U.S. Fl has the following assets and liabilities: Assets $300 million U.S. loans (1-yr) in dollars $200 million equivalent German loans (1-yr) in euros Liabilities $500 million U.S. CDs (1-yr) in dollars The promised one-year U.S. CD rate is 4 percent, to be paid in dollars at the end of the year; one- year, default risk-free loans in the United States are yielding 6 percent; and default risk-free one-year loans are yielding 10 percent in Germany. The exchange rate of dollars for euros at the beginning of the year is $1.10/1. a. Calculate the dollar proceeds from the German loan at the end of the year, the return on the Fl's investment portfolio, and the net interest margin for the Fl if the spot foreign exchange rate has not changed over the year. b. Calculate the dollar proceeds from the German loan at the end of the year, the return on the Fl's investment portfolio, and the net interest margin for the Fl if the spot foreign exchange rate falls to $1.00/1 over the year. 1 c. Calculate the dollar proceeds from the German loan at the end of the year, the return on the Fl's investment portfolio, and the net interest margin for the Fl if the spot foreign exchange rate rises to $1.20/1 over the year.
