e. all of the above are reasons for deviations

4. Assume Switzerland has a one-year interest rate of 3% and the U.S. has a 4%, one-year interest rate. If the International Fisher effect (IFE) holds, what would your forecast for the Swiss franc exchange rate with respect to the dollar be?

d. 0.97% depreciation 5. Assume the United Kingdom has a one-year interest rate of 6% and the U.S. has a 4%, one-year interest rate. If the spot rate is $1.50 per British pound and the international Fisher effect (IFE) holds, what would you forecast for the future spot rate of the pound in one year (using the simplified method)?
