Solution
The spot rate shall be the rate that is quoted today i.e. 110.97 yen per dollar
However I shall explain using curren or the forward rates at the time of posting this solution.
Kindly refer to the link for rates:
https://www.barchart.com/forex/quotes/%5EUSDJPY/forward-rates
Spot rate is 111.020
Forward rates are quoted as 1/10,000 th of the rates
We see 6 month rate as below:
USD/JPY 6-Month Forward
-156.900
-155.900
-156.400
07/09/18
Taking ask rate as we have to buy yen using dollars, the rate shall be = 111.020+(-155.900/10000)=111.0356 yen per dollar
For 1 million yen dollars required = 1,000,000/111.0356 =$9,006.12 in 6 months
| USD/JPY 6-Month Forward | -156.900 | -155.900 | -156.400 | 07/09/18 |
