Step 1 - splits £2,100 equally into US $, Japanese Yen and South African Rand
£2,100 / 3 = £700
Step 2 – Calculate the amount of US $, Japanese Yen and South African Rand (Week 1)
US $: £700 x 1.64 = $1,148
Japanese Yen: £700 x 123.2 = 86,240 Yen
South African Rand: £700 x 13.4 = 9,380 Rand
Step 3 – Deduct a 5% charge for each currency
$1,148 x .95 = $1,090.6
86,240 Yen x .95 = 81,928 Yen
9,380 Rand x .95 = 8,911 Rand
Step 4 – Convert back into £ (Week 3)
$1,090.6 / 1.74 = £626.78
81928 Yen / 134.8 = £607.77
8911 Rand / 13.2 = £675.08
Total = £1,909.626.
Deduct a second 5% for the transaction fee. £1,909.63 x 0.95 = £1,814 = £1,800 (to the nearest £100)
Thus the correct answer is (B), £1,800
