Answer:

23,130,000 HK

Explanation:

Loan amount taken by sapling = 12,000,000 euros

Loan amount taken by sapling in Dollars at an exchange rate of 9 HK dollars/euros:

= 9 × 12,000,000

= 108,000,000 HK

Amount to be repaid by sapling at i= 1.5%:

= 12,000,000(1 + 0.015)

= 12,180,000 euros

Amount to be repaid by sapling in HK Dollars at an exchange rate of 7.5 HK dollars/euro:

= 7.5 × 12,180,000

= 91,350,000 HK

Amount earned by lending at i = 6%:

= 108,000,000(1 + 0.06) HK

= 114,480,000 HK

Net profit earned = Amount Earned - Amount Repaid

                             = 114,480,000 HK  - 91,350,000 HK

                             = 23,130,000 HK

Net profit earned in Euros = (23,130,000 ÷ 7.5) euros

                                            = 3,084,000 euros
