Given the following information, find the JPY profits you can make using covered interest arbitrage. Assume you can borrow either EUR 100,000 or JPY 14,619,883.04.

EUR interest rate = 3.5% per year

JPY interest rate = 0.4530% per year

S (EUR/JPY) = EUR 0.00684 per JPY

F (EUR/JPY) = EUR 0.0074 per JPY for 1 year maturity forward contract.
