An investor is deciding between two investment options. They can invest in their home country, the United States, and earn a risk-free interest rate of 3% on dollar-denominated assets. Alternatively, they can invest in Brazil and earn a 10% interest rate on real-denominated assets. However, the consensus among financial analysts is that the Brazilian real is expected to depreciate by 8% against the U.S. dollar over the investment period. Assuming the investor's primary goal is to maximize their return in U.S. dollars, what is the most likely outcome of this situation?
