第四次作业答案1.a) Buy IBX stock in Tokyo and simultaneously sell them in NY, and your arbitrage profit is $2 per share.b) The prices will converge.c) Instead of the prices becoming exactly equal, there can remain a 1% discrepancy between them, roughly $0.35 in this case.2.a) Money market hedge: borrow the dollar now, convert the dollar into the sterling and deposit the sterling. The future dollar cost is fixed.Forward market hedge: buy (long) £ forward contractb) The one-year £ forward rate is:£/$4464.112.0108.0150.111£$01,0=++⨯=++=r r S Fc) If the market £ forward rate is $1.55/£, there is an arbitrage opportunity. Assuming the contract size is £1 million, then the arbitrageur should borrow the dollars, convert into the pounds and invest in pounds, and sell them at the market forward rate.
