    Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%

    Explanation:

    As per Interest Rate Parity Theory

    Spot Rate : 1$ = 100

    Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110

    r = 9/12

    As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate (1+Interest rate Japan) / (1+Interest rate US)

    Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + iD) / (1+iF)

    110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 / 12) / 1.01125

    1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75

    1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75

    Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1

    Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375

    Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75

    Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
