    Solution:

    Given that:

    The first step is = The Present value of €1,000,000 = 1000000/1.02 = €980,392.16

    The second step is to convert Euro into US Dollar using spot exchange rate

    Now,

    €980,392.16*1.56 = $1,529,411.77

    Thus,

    We Convert US Dollar into Pounds using spot exchange rate

    so,

    $1,529,411.77/1.96 = £780,312.13

    The third step is to invest this amount in the united kingdom

    The fourth step is, the amount of €1,000,000 is collected from Swiss firm and it is used to repay the Euro loan
