Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

Price of stock = €5

Convert stock price to dollar at the begging of year using the exchange rate of €0.64/$1 = 5/0.64 = $7.81

Value of stock at the end of year = €6

Convert value to dollar using the present exchange rate of €0.6/$1 = 6/0.6 = $10

APR = (EYP -BYP)/BYP *100%

Where APR = annual percentage rate, EYP = end of year price

BYP = beginning of year price

APR = (10 - 7.81)/7.81 *100% = 28.04% (D)
