    Option "B" is the correct answer to the following statement.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Exchange rate of 1 Baht = $0.022

    Expected inflation in united states (Assume) = 3% = 0.03

    Expected inflation in Thailand (Assume) = 10% = 0.10

    Computation:

    After 1 year rate of 1 Baht in Dollar

    The price in US = 1 * (1+0.03) = $1.03

    The price in Thailand = 1 * (1+0.10) = 1.10 baht

    1 baht = 1.03*0.022:1.1 = $0.0206

    Therefore, 1 baht = $0.21 (approx)
