    Check the explanation as follows.

    Explanation:

    a) If it is invested in US

    Current = $40 million

    Interest rate = 0.28% p. m

    Interest for 1 month = $40 million*0.28% = $0.112 million

    Interest for 3 months = $0.112*3 = $0.336 million

    Total value after 3 months = $40 million+$0.336 million = $40336000.

    b) If it is invested in Great Britain.

    Convert $40 million into Pounds = $40 million*0.639 = Pound 25.56 million

    Ivest in Great Britain for 3 months @ 0.32%

    Interest per month = 25.56 million*0.32% * 3 = 0.245376

    Total Pounds after 3 months = Pound 25.805376

    Convert into $ = 25.805376/0.642 = $40195289.7156

    Value if invested in great britain = $40195289.7156
