    d. about 11.4 percent

    Explanation:

    % change in pound = ($2.05 - $1.95) / $1.95

    = 5.1%

    Effective financing rate = (1 + 6%) (1 + 5.1%) - 1

    = 11.4%

    Therefore, The effective financing rate for a U. S. firm that takes out a one-year, uncovered British loan is about 11.4 percent.
