Samsung’s stock price goes up 30% but the Korean won falls 20% against the Japanese yen. From the perspective of a Japanese investor, what is the yen return on an investment in Korea’s Samsung? [Hint: Assume that P_t^d = P_t^f S_t^d/f, where, P_t^d = domestic price; P_t^f = foreign price and S_t^d/f = spot price; return from asset price: (1+r^d) = (P_t^d/P_t-1^d) and return from FX spot price: (1+s^d/f) = (S_t^d/f/S_t-1^d/f)].
