Suppose further that the exchange rate at that time was $1.55 per British pound. A) Suppose that now a year later the exchange rate is $1.42 per British pound. What rate of return did the CFO earn on the investment in the British CD?

What must the CFO have expected about the value of the British pound in $ today to believe in March, 2015that investment in 1 year British CD’s would be more profitable than investment in US CD’s.
