Answer:
$96,914
Explanation:
360‑day borrowing rate in Swiss as given is 5%
rate = 100 + 5 = 105%
Total = 200,000/105% = SF190,476
The spot rate of the Swiss franc is $.48
Therefore SF190,476 = SF190,476 × $.48 = $91,428
360‑day deposit rate in US as given 6%
Total Invest = 6 % of $91,428 + $91,428
= $5485.68 + $91,428 = $96,914
