Solution

To find the 90-day forward price, we need to add the forward premium to the spot exchange rate. Here's how we do it:

Step 1: Identify the spot exchange rate. In this case, it's $1.60/€.

Step 2: Identify the forward premium. In this case, it's 10 percent.

Step 3: Calculate the amount of the forward premium in terms of the spot exchange rate. To do this, multiply the spot exchange rate by the forward premium (as a decimal). So, 1.600.10=1.60 * 0.10 = 0.16.

Step 4: Add the amount of the forward premium to the spot exchange rate to find the 90-day forward price. So, 1.60+1.60 + 0.16 = $1.76/€.

So, the 90-day forward price is $1.76/€.
