On January 1st, when the spot exchange rate is CLP$930.25/, the company borrows 30.0 million from a London bank for one year at 1.75% interest (Chilean banks had quoted 5.68% for an equivalent loan in Chilean pesos). During the year, the U.K. infla- tion rate is 2.1% and Chilean inflation rate is 4.71%. At the end of the year, the firm repays the pound loan. a.
