The Non-Venue Format is a Take-home Exam with submission on the Moodle platform
ABC (France) considers placing 40 percent of its excess funds in a one-year Singapore dollar deposit
and the remaining 60 percent of its funds in a one-year US dollar deposit. The Singapore one-year
interest rate is 15 percent, while the US one-year interest rate is 13 percent. The possible percentage
changes in the two currencies for the next year are forecasted as follows:
Currency Possible percentage change in Probability of that change
the spot rate over the in the spot rate occurring
investment horizon
Singapore dollar -2% 30%
Singapore dollar 1 30
Singapore dollar 3 40
US dollar 1 20
US dollar 4 50
US dollar 6 30
Given this information, determine the possible effective yields of the portfolio and the probability
associated with each possible portfolio yield. If the one-year euro interest rate is 8 percent, what is the
probability that the portfolio’s effective yield will be lower than the yield achieved from investing in the
United States? (Assume that the movements on the two currencies are not correlated). [25]
