Answer:
b. Buy £1,000,000 forward for $1.50/£.
Explanation:
Let's say for instance, we agree to make purchase of €1,000,000 and then forward for $1.50/€ and we assume that the price turns out to become $1.62/€ in three months time, the expected profit will be $12,000 = €1,000,000 ($1.62 - $1.50)As we can see, answer d looks convincing from an accounting standpoint, but it is wrong because the question asks us to make money with a forward contract, not by holding a particular spot. The correct option should be option b.

Answer: $2420
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:

Dividends = $750
Interest expense = $860,
Taxable Income will be calculated as:

= $3280 - $860
= $ 2420
