Calculation of expected forward exchange rate 1 year from now
Forward exchange rate = current exchange rate * (1 + 2%) / (1+3%)
Forward exchange rate = 1061 * (1 + 2%) / (1+3%)
Forward exchange rate = 1050.70 Won
4
Calculation of expected forward exchange rate 2 year from now
Forward exchange rate = current exchange rate * (1 + 3%) / (1+4%)
Forward exchange rate = 1061 * (1 + 3%) / (1+4%)
Forward exchange rate = 1050.80 Won
