Answer:

  • borrow <u>   euros   </u>

Explanation:

You borrow euros to buy dollars.

Assume you borrow $100 euros and buy Euros at the rate 0.8011Euro/$:

  • 100 euros × ( 1 / 0.8011Euro/$) = 124.83$

That means that, on Feb 14, 2018,  with 100 euros you buy $124.83.

Then, you keep the dollars until Mar 15, 2018 and sell them at the rate of 0.8210 Euro/$:

  • 124.83$ × 0.8210 Euro/$ = 102.49 Euro.

In that way, you converted 100Euro into 102.49Euro in 30 days.

That is a return of [102.49 - 100] / [100] × 100 = 2.49%. Then, if you borrowed at a rate less than 2.49% per month, you earned by <em>speculating</em> through the <em>"Short-selling" method</em>.

Luda [366]

Answer:

No, we can’t say

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to decide if we can say that Guatemala’s standard of living grew more than that of the US’ standard of living between the years 1993 and 2003 given the pointers in the question.

We cannot say that this is correct because of the following reasons;

As observed from the question, the US growth rate was calculated between the years 1948-2003, which is indicative of a 55 year span. Now, comparing this with that of Guatemala, we can see that the span here is just 10 years I.e from 1993 to 2003.

Also, we were not provided with the population growth rate in both countries and this makes it difficult to judge which of the two countries have a better growth in terms of standard of living
