Answer:

Dollar rate of return = 15.5%

Explanation:

The expected dollar rate would be the dollar equivalent of the future value of the Euro deposit converted at the exchange rate applicable in a years time .

The following steps would suffice

Step 1: Future value of 1 Euro

Future value of 1 Euro at 5% p.a = 1.05 Euro

Step 2: Dollar equivalent of the Euro future value

The Dollar equivalent of 1.05 Euro = 1.05× 1.10=1.155

Step 3: The Dollar rate of return

Dollar rate of return = Future value of deposit($)/initial deposit - 1

                                = (1.155/1) - 1 × 100

                               = 15.5%

Dollar rate of return = 15.5%
