Explanation / Answer

1.

spot rate 1 euro = 1.0951 USD

forward rate 1 euro = 1.0963 USD

yes arbitrage is possible:

2.

forward rate:

USD = 1.1*(1.006/12*3) = 1.10165

euro = 1*(1.0002/12*3) = 1.00005

exchange rate

1euro = 1.10165/1.0005 = 1.1011

3.

a. forward rate= 100*e.01*6

   =100*1.06184

   = 106.184

b. 100*e.03*6 = 100*1.19722 = 119.722
