    The answer is B. £0.7060/$

    Explanation:

    The forward exchange rate is the exchange rate at which a party is willing to exchange one currency for another at a future date when it enters into a forward contract with the other party

    The formula for forward exchange rate = Spot rate x [ (1 + foreign interest rate) / (1 + domestic interest rate) ]

    Spot rate is 0.6993£/$

    Foreign interest rate is 6%

    Domestic interest rate is 5%

    0.6993£/$ x (1 + 0.06/1 + 0.05)

    0.6993£/$ x 1.06/1.05

    = 0.7060

    £0.7060/$
