E) $100 invested in Canadian dollars last year would now be worth Ps1,862.44.
Explanation: Current value in Ps of $100 exchanged to Can$ last year = $100(Can$126/$100)($100/Can$128)(Ps1,892/$100)
Current value in Ps of $100 exchanged to Can$ last year = Ps1,862.44
Current value in dollars of $100 exchanged to Ps last year = $100(Ps1,847/$100)($100/Ps1,892)
Current value in dollars of $100 exchanged to Ps last year = $97.62
Current value in dollars of $100 exchanged to Can$ last year = $100(Can$126/$100)($100/Can$128)
Current value in dollars of $100 exchanged to Can$ last year = $98.44
