The average prevailing interest rate of the United States is 4. 34%, while it is 4. 68% for China, which means that the prevailing interest rate is higher
Now if an investor purchased Chinese currency from US on 4. 34% rate and sell it in the Chinese market at a rate of 4. 68%
= 4. 68 – 4. 34 = 0. 34%
= 1, 000, 000 * 0. 34%
Profit would be = 3, 400 $

Total Equity Would become in this particular scenario 1, 034, 000

The rate of return in this particular scenario would be 0. 34%. This particular profit maximizing is known as Arbitrage Profit Maximization state, in which a person could earn economic profit by buying a thing from a specific market and then sell the same in different market.
