A)

  • Firstly convert $3000000 into CAD

          So, CAD is 3405221.33938

  • Invest CAD  in Canada 5% for 1 year
  • In t= 1yr realize canadian investment with interest so, CAD  on maturity

        = CAD 3405221.33938 (1+ 0.05)

        = CAD 3575482.40634

  • Again now convert CAD into US $ so, equivalent  US $ realised on conversion = CAD 3575482.40634 * $0.865/ CAD

                            = $ 3092792.28148

  • US repayment = $ 3000000*(1+ 0.02)

                                  = $ 3060000

That's why,

Profit over the year = $3092792.28148- $3060000

                                  = $32792.28148

B) doesn't depreciates relative to USD

C) appreciates relative to Canadian dollar

D) BEEX = US$ borrowings to be repaid with interest/ CAD realized with interest on maturity

               = $3060000/ CAD 3575482.40634

               = 0.8558
