Multiple Choice
None of the options.
$41,667
$50,000
$60,333
$40,000
Solution:
Amount available with trader = $1000000
1€=$1.60
$10,00,000/$1.60= €6,25,000
€1.20= 1 pound
€6,25,000/€1.20= pound 5,20,833.33
1 pound = US$2
Pound 5,20,833.33*$2= $10,41,666.67
Profit = $10,41,666.67- $10,00,000= $41,666.67
