Problem $6\mathrm{.}10$

Due to the integrated nature of their capital markets, investors in both the United States and the U$.$K$.$ require the same real interest

United States and $3\mathrm{.}3$ percent in the U$.$K$.$ for the next three years. The spot exchange rate is currently $$3\mathrm{.}30$ per $.$

Required:

a$.$ Compute the nominal interest rate per annum in both the United States and the U$.$K$.,$ assuming that the Fisher effect holds.
