Answer:

$41,667

Explanation:

First and foremost, in order to profit from the arbitrage opportunity, we need to first of all convert dollars to euro using the exchange rate below

$1.60 = €1.00

$1,000,000 in euros= $1,000,000*€1.00/$1.60=€625,000

Next we convert the euros to pounds using the rate quoted by the bank below:

£1.00 = €1.20

€625,000 in pounds=€625,000*£1.00/€1.20=£ 520,833.33  

Lastly, we convert the pounds sterling back to dollars using the below exchange rate

$2.00 = £1.00

£ 520,833.33 in dollars=£ 520,833.33*$2/£1.00=$ 1,041,666.67  

Profit from the arbitrage=$ 1,041,666.67 -$1,000,000.00

Profit from the arbitrage=$41,667(rounded to a whole dollar amount)

China is trying to develop its international trade in electronic components, but it lacks the money to be successful. from whom
SashulF [63]
China should seek assistance from the IMF or International Monetary Fund. According to the IMF, it works to nurture global growth and economic steadiness by providing policy, information and financing the members, by working with developing states to help them reach macroeconomic stability and decrease poverty. The basis for this is that private international capital markets function poorly and many countries have inadequate access to financial markets. Such market imperfections, together with balance-of-payments financing, offer the reasoning for official financing, without which many countries could solitary correct large external payment imbalances through actions with adverse economic consequences. Also, the IMF provides alternate sources of financing.
