Answer:
The forward is discount, which is -1.8%
Explanation:
The forward rate is the rate of interest that is applicable or applied to the financial transaction, which will happen in the near future.
The percent is computed as:
= (Spot rate / Forward rate) - 1
where
Spot rate is $1.60
Forward rate is $1.63
Putting the values above:
= ($1.60 / $1.63) - 1
= $0.9815 - 1
= -1.8 %
which is forward discount.
