Question:

Suppose that instead of funding the $300 million investment in 8 percent British loans with U.S. CDs, the FI manager funds the British loans with $300 million equivalent one-year pound CDs at a rate of 5 percent and that instead of funding the $200 million investment in 10 percent Turkish loans with U.S. CDs, the FI manager funds the Turkish loans with $200 million equivalent one-year Turkish lira CDs at a rate of 6 percent. What will the FI's look like after these changes have been made?

The promised one-year U.S. CD rate is 4 percent, to be paid in dollars at the end of the year; the one-year, default risk-free loans in the United States are yielding 6 percent; default risk-free one-year loans are yielding 8 percent in the United Kingdom; and default risk-free one-year loans are yielding 10 percent in Turkey. The exchange rate of dollars for pounds at the beginning of the year is $1.6/£1, and the exchange rate of dollars for Turkish lira at the beginning of the year is $0.5533/TRY1.
