    The correct answer is (a) $1.5415

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    Annual deposit rate for dollar = 6%

    Annual deposit rate for Euro = 4%

    n = 5 years

    The present spot rate of Euro = $1,4015

    The next step is to obtain the implied rate for the Euro.

    Thus

    Implied rate = $1,4015[ (1.06) / (1.04) ]^5

    = $1,4015 * 1.019230769^5

    =$1,4015 * 1.099923877

    =$1.5415

    Hence the implied rate for Euro 5 years from now is $1.5415
