1. A) Compute the rate of return on the investment in Yen terms. Show all the workings.

2. B) Momuras investors were disappointed with the fund performance in the international market, as it lags far behind that of the Japanese market. They comment: You should focus on identifying profitable domestic investments rather than venturing out to international markets. Most Japanese firms have international exposure anyway. Your weak performance relative to Japanese investments reflects your inability to understand that very basic fact. Evaluate the comment.
