Standard deviation of pound- and dollar-denominated rates of return
I have this homework question: "Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £90 per share. The investor has $36,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2/£. Consider three possible prices per share at £88, £93, and £98 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.8/£, $2/£, and $2.2/£ after 1 year. Calculate the standard deviation of both the pound- and dollar-denominated rates of return if each of the nine outcomes (three possible prices per share in pounds times three possible exchange rates) is equally likely".

a) Microsoft, whose global sales are generally dollar denominated, finds it has excess cash of $750,000,000, which it can invest for up to three years.

Using cash flow analysis, determine in which currency Microsoft should invest. Be sure...
