A depreciation of the Swiss franc means that it will take more Swiss francs to buy one euro. Therefore, if the exchange rate next week is higher than 0.6205 Swiss francs per euro (meaning it takes more Swiss francs to buy one euro), then the Swiss franc has depreciated. Option C has the highest value, meaning it takes more Swiss francs to buy one euro, indicating depreciation. Options A and B both have lower values than the current exchange rate, indicating an appreciation of the Swiss franc. If the exchange rate next week is lower than the current exchange rate, it means that the Swiss franc has depreciated relative to the euro. Therefore, we need an exchange rate where there are fewer Swiss francs per euro than the current rate of 0.6205. Option C, where the exchange rate is 0.6514 Swiss francs per euro, is the only option where there are fewer Swiss francs per euro, indicating that the Swiss franc has depreciated. Option A and B have higher exchange rates, meaning the Swiss franc has appreciated relative to the euro.
