You may borrow 25000 worth of any currency that you are


You may borrow $25,000 worth of any currency that you are free to invest in any currency. You can trade, borrow, and lend at the following rates:

                  Spot rate, US dollars per South Korean won (W)                 0.00125$/W

                  One year forward rate for $/W                                      0.00147$/W

                  One year Korean interest rate                                                        7%

                  One year U.S. interest rate                                                                19%

Is covered interest arbitrage worth while? If so, explain the steps and compute the profit based on your initial $25,000 worth of either currency.
