The correct answer is option E
Explanation :- In accordance with Fischer effect, the nominal risk free interest rate equals real rate of return plus the inflation rate.
Nominal risk free rate = Real rate of return + Inflation rate.
To calculate the inflation rate in Canada, we need to know the real rate of return.
The real rate of return for Canada is not given, hence we will not be able to find the inflation rate in Canada.

U.S. (Nominal Interest Rate) = 4% Canada (Nominal Interest Rate) = 5% According to economic theory, investors will move their funds from U.S. to Canada because they earn a better interest rate, therefore, demand for Canadian $ will increase, so Canadian $ will appreciate, and $ will depreciate. According to the fishier effect, real interest rate is assumed to usually be in equilibrium. So, Nominal Interest Rate = Real Interest Rate + Expected Inflation U.S. 4% = 3% + 1%...
