    The exchange rate that at the end of your assignment is Florint 203.43 per USD

    Explanation:

    According to the given we have the following:

    Current rate = F 188.13/$

    inflation in foreign country=6.9%

    domestic inflation=2.8%

    Therefore, in order to calculate the exchange rate that do you anticipate at the end of your assignment we have to make the following calculation:

    exchange rate at the end of your assignment = 188.13 * (1.069^2) / (1.028^2)

    exchange rate at the end of your assignment=Florint 203.43 per USD

    The exchange rate that at the end of your assignment is Florint 203.43 per USD
