Computation of 2 Year Forward Exchange Rate:

(fR) Yen/CAD = sR ((1+Interest Rate)^n)/((1+Interest Rate)^n)

= 98 ((1+0.2404%)^2)/((1+1.08%)^2)

= 98 * 1.005/1.022

= 98 * 0.98336

(fR) Yen/CAD = 96.369

 

So, the correct option is D "96.368 JPY/CAD".

The difference is due to rounding off figures.
