Question

When the bond sells at par, the implicit €/$ exchange rate at maturity of a Euro/U.S. dollar dual currency bond that pays $651.25 at maturity per €1,000, is:________ A) €1.54/$1.00. B) €1.22/$1.00. C) €1.79/$1.00. D) €1/$1.00.

Answer 1

€1.54/$1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

When the bond sells at par, the implicit €/$ exchange rate pays €651.25 at maturity per €1000

651.25/1000= 1/x

Cross multiply

651.25x = 1000

x= 1000/651.25

x= 1.54

Hence the implicit exchange rate is €1.54/$1.00
