Answer: 92.7%

Explanation:

Due to the depreciation of the Dollar against the Pound, the foreign denominated deposit will have an even higher return.

Let's calculate that return.

= New Exchange rate - Former exchange rate / Former exchange rate

= 1.42142 - 1.23123 / 1.23123

= 0.15447

= 15. 4%

There is a gain of 15.4%.

In order to get the total dollar rate of return we add this just calculated return to the interest rate on pound which is 77%.

= 77 + 15.4

= 92.7%

In dollars then the return is 92.7%.
