    Amount received = $84,000

    Explanation:

    Canadian dollars received = $100,000

    To get the value in dollars multiply by the spot rate.

    Dollar value = 100,000 * 0.85 = $85,000

    Premium paid = Amount * premium rate

    Premium paid = 100,000 * 0.01

    Premium rate = $1,000

    Amount received = Total amount received - Premium rate

    Amount received = 85,000 - 1,000

    Amount received = $84,000
