Your final project will require you to examine any foreign
currency of your choice (preferably one from an emerging
market), and provide an analysis of that currency against
the U.S. dollar over the 5-year period ending with 2010. To
complete this assignment, examine an exchange-traded fund
(ETF) for that currency, perform any additional research you
need to do in order to understand the topic, and then write a
750-word paper that summarizes the results of your macroeconomic
analysis.

Instructions
Step 1: Select a foreign currency as described above.

Step 2: Perform your research. The content of your textbook
can be one of your sources. However, your
paper should also include at least four independent
and reliable sources. Use general Internet search
engines, financial search engines, and the Penn
Foster Virtual Library to perform your research
.
Step 3: Perform your macroeconomic analysis on the
material. Remember that you need to provide an
analysis of your chosen currency against the U.S.
dollar over the 5-year period ending with 2010.

Step 4: Write a first draft of your paper. Your paper should
be written using a word-processing program, such
as Microsoft Word or a Word-compatible program.
Your essay should include a separate title page,
and between three and five pages on your topic. The
essay should include a brief introduction, several
paragraphs that cover the required information, and
a conclusion. The last page after the main body of
the essay should provide an APA references page.

written essay, correct any errors, and submit your
final draft to your instructor. Use the following
