5.3)Suppose that you hold a piece of land in the City of London that you may want to sell in one year. As a U.S. resident, you are concerned with the dollar value of the land. Assume that, if the British economy booms in the future, the land will be worth £19 and one British pound will be worth $1.29. If the British economy slows down, on the other hand, the land will be worth less, i.e., £23 million, but the pound will be stronger, i.e., $1.41/£. You feel that the British economy will experience a boom with a 70% probability and a slow- down with the remaining probability. Estimate the exposure b to the exchange risk. (USD, no cents)
