Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

At an exchange rate of $1 = 0.75 euro, the loan has a dollar value of $66.7 million and the deposits have a dollar value of $33.3 million. If the exchange rate changes to $1 = 0.90 euro, the dollar value of the loan falls to $55.6 million and the dollar value of the deposits falls to $27.8 million. Therefore, your net worth will decline by $5.6 million. If the exchange rate changes to $1 = 0.65 euro, the dollar value of the loan rises to $76.9 million and the dollar value of the deposits rises to $38.5 million. Therefore, your net worth will rise by $5 million.
