Answer to Question 1

The bond cost 19,000 shekels and would have returned 19,950 shekels at the end of the year had the exchange rate stayed constant. However, at the end of the year, your investment was worth 18,375 shekels, so your effective rate of return on the investment was -625 / 19,000 = -3.3 percent.

Answer to Question 2

D
