The document discusses covered interest arbitrage opportunities given exchange rates and interest rates between the US dollar and British pound. It asks the reader to: 1) Calculate the 3-month covered interest differential and determine if gains can be made; 2) Consider whether gains are possible after accounting for 700 basis point transaction costs; 3) Determine if gains are possible if interest income is taxed at 40% but capital gains abroad are taxed at 20%; 4) Illustrate where returns lie relative to the covered interest parity line and how arbitrage returns rates to this line.
