A year ago, a Canadian investor bought some shares at a price of USD $76\mathrm{.}00,$ which today trade at USD $83\mathrm{.}00.$ The investor has just received a dividend of USD $6\mathrm{.}00.$ The USD$/$CAD rate was $1\mathrm{.}3276$ at the time of purchase, whereas today the USD$/$CAD rate is $1\mathrm{.}3385.$ If the investor would decide to sell the shares and convert the USD into CAD at today's rate, could he improve his return?

A$.$ The total investment return in USD is $15\mathrm{.}66\%,$ while in CAD, it represents $16\mathrm{.}61\%.$ The investor should sell the shares as the USD has appreciated, this would improve the return of his investment.

B$.$ The total investment return in USD is $15\mathrm{.}66\%,$ while in CAD, it represents $16\mathrm{.}48\%.$ The investor should hold the shares because the CAD has depreciated.

C$.$ The total investment return in USD is $17\mathrm{.}11\%,$ while in CAD, it represents $18\mathrm{.}07\%.$ The investor would improve his return by selling the shares and the USD, as it has increased in value.

D$.$ The total investment return in USD is $17\mathrm{.}11\%,$ while in CAD, it represents $17\mathrm{.}93\%.$ The investor would improve his return by selling the shares as the CAD has appreciated.
