Answer:

$41,666.667

Explanation:

The computation of the money astute trader make is

= Invested amount × (Euro exchange rate ÷ dollar exchange rate) × (Pound cross rate ÷ euro cross rate)  × dollar exchange rate

= $1,000,000 × (€1.00  ÷  $1.6) × (£1 ÷ €1.2) × $2

= $1,041,666.667

So, the money would be

= $1,041,666.667 - $1,000,000

= $41,666.667
