Ответ:
The correct answer is profit of $2.3 by selling it in Mexico.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
In the United states Cost of shoes = $45
In Mexico, Cost of Shoes = 430 Pesos ( where $0.1100 = 1 pesos)
So, 430 Pesos = 430 × $0.1100 = $47.3
So, we can calculate the profit to sell in Mexico as follows:
Profit to sell in Mexico = Sell price in Mexico - Sell price in US
= $47.3 - $45
= $2.3
So, the arbitrage opportunity exist by buying the shoes in Pesos and selling it in Mexico, one can make a profit of $2.3 per shoes.
