Answer:

Based on this information, the Canadian dollar is expected to DEPRECIATE BY 0.8% tomorrow, and Severus would prefer to make payment TOMORROW.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Canadian dollar tends to depreciate by 40% after it appreciates more than 1% against the US dollar, we can calculate the expected depreciation:

expected depreciation = 2% x 40% = 0.8%

Since Severus expects that the Canadian dollar will depreciate tomorrow by 0.8%, it will wait until then to pay its debt.
