Question: Due to the integrated nature of their capital markets, investors in both the U.S. and U.K. require the same real interest rate, 2.5%, on their lending. There is a consensus in capital markets that the annual inflation rate is likely to be 3.5% in the U.S. and 1.5% in the U.K. for the next three years. The spot exchange rate is currently $1.50/£.

1. Compute the nominal interest rate per annum in both the U.S. and U.K., assuming that the Fisher effect holds.
2. What is your expected future spot dollar-pound exchange rate in three years from now?
3. Can you infer the forward dollar-pound exchange rate for one-year maturity?
