1. A retailer in Mexico wants to buy $100,000 worth of Apple
computers from the United States. The Mexican retailer has pesos
while the seller in the United States wants to be paid in U.S. dollars. Explain how this transaction is completed with particular emphasis on the foreign exchange market and banks in the United States and Mexico.
课本P33倒数第二段有具体阐述：
The Mexican buyer has to sell pesos to get dollars to pay the U.S. exporter. The Mexican firm contacts its bank and requests a quotation of the exchange rate for selling pesos and acquiring 100,000 dollars. If the rate is acceptable, the Mexican firm instructs its bank to take pesos from its checking account, convert into 100,000 dollars and transfer the dollars to the U.S. producer. The Mexican bank holds the dollar denominated deposits in the United States, at its correspondent bank in New York. The Mexican bank instructs its correspondent bank in New York to take dollars from its checking account and transfer the dollars to the U.S. producer. This completes the international payment for computers.
2. Suppose $1 = 0.85 euros in New York, 1 euro = 150 yen in Paris, and 1 yen = $0.008 in Tokyo.
a. If you begin by holding $1, how could you profit from these exchange rates? What is your arbitrage profit per dollar initially traded?
Identify the forces at work that will make the cross exchange rates consistent in currency arbitrage. That is, what forces will lead to a situation in which no profitable arbitrage is possible a:套利收益0.02
b:出现以下三种情况之一，都会导致无套利机会存在：巴黎汇率:147、纽约汇率0.83、东京汇率0.0078（各减0.02） (以下为英文思路)：
a. Buy .85 euros, then buy 127.5 yen in Paris with .85 euros then
convert 127.5 yen back to dollars which makes 1.02 dollars yielding a profit of $.02.
b. The forces of demand and supply will ensure that there is no arbitrage opportunity. For instance, this could happen by depreciating the euro in Paris to about 1 euro = 147 yen.
3. For each case below, state whether the euro has appreciated or depreciated and give an example of an event that could cause the change in the exchange rate.
a. The spot rate goes from 450 euros/Mexican peso to 440 euros/Mexican peso.

a. The euro depreciates; there is an increased supply of euros. 欧元贬值;有供给的增多欧元。
b. The euro depreciates; there is an increased demand for the British pound. 欧元贬值。英镑日益增长的需求。
