Q1. In the short run the interest rate parity model is considered to be important in determining the expectations about future currency changes and thereby the forward rate. Discuss this model. Select a foreign currency and see if you can calculate the expected future exchange rate for 1 year based on interest rate differentials and compare it to the one year market forward rate.
Q2. How does the method of payment (cash vs. stock) impact the returns to target shareholders? How do the buyer's returns compare with the method of payment, and how do they compare with single versus multiple bidders?
