Answer: 97.99
Explanation:
The one-year forward rate that an investor would be indifferent between the U.S. and Japanese investments will be:
= Spot rate × (1 + Japanese rate / 1 + U.S rate)
= 101 × (1 + 1% / 1 + 4.1%)
= 101 × [(1 + 0.01) / (1 + 0.041)]
= 101 × (1.01/1.041)
= 101 × 0.9702209
= 97.99
