    Answer: $1131.7 CAD

    Explanation:

    Current spot rate 1 CAD (Canadian dollar) = 0.98 USD (USA dollar)

    CAD inflation rate = 2.5%

    USD inflation rate = 3.3% Number of years (n) = 1

    P = $1000 USD

    R = 8.2%

    converting the $1000 USD to CAD

    = $1000/0.98 = $1020.41 CAD.

    I = p * r * t / 100

    I = 1020.41 * 8.2 * 1 / 100

    I = $83.674 CAD

    Repayment = $1104.084

    Cost of loan in CAD if inflation rate is 2.5℅

    = $1104.084 * 0.025

    = $27.6021

    Total debt on Loan

    = $1131.7 CAD
