Answer:

The real rate of return is 23.0%.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Gain due to dollar depreciation = (1.65 - 1.31) / 1.31 = 0.260, or 26.0%

Inflation rate = Increase in dollar price = 9%

Real rate of return = (Gain due to dollar depreciation + Interest rate on pounds) - Inflation rate = (26.0% + 6%) - 9% = 23.0%

Therefore, the real rate of return is 23.0%.
