The real interest rate differential in the upcoming period is forecasted as follows: Interest Rate Differential Probability 0% 30% 1 60 2 10 If Stillwater, Inc., uses this information to forecast the Japanese yen’s exchange rate, what will be the expected yen’s percentage change over the upcoming period? 3.12% 2.4% 3.3% 4.2%
