  2. Soal 1 Question 9 What is an appreciation of the Dollar relative to the pound ? What happens to the Dollar price of the pound in this situation?

  3. Jawaban Soal 1 An appreciation of the dollar relative to the pound means that it takes fewer dollars to buy a pound. This situation is also described as the dollar is stronger in the foreign exchange market, the pound has depreciated versus the dollar, and the pound is weaker in the foreign exchange market.

  4. Soal 2 (Problem 3) As a foreign exchange trader, you see the following quotes for Canadian Dollars (CAD), US Dollars (USD) and Mexican Pesos (MXN) : CAD 1.419/USD MXN 6.4390/CAD MXN 8.7535/USD Is there an arbitrage opportunity, and if so, how would you exploit it ?

  5. Jawaban Soal 2 The direct quote for the cross-rate of MXN6.4390/CAD should equal the implied cross-rate using the dollar as an intermediary currency; otherwise there exists a triangular arbitrage opportunity. The indirect cross rate is MXN8.7535/USD / CAD1.419/USD = MXN6.1688/CAD This indirect cross rate is less than the direct quote so there is an arbitrage opportunity to exploit between the three currencies. In this situation, buying the CAD with MXN by first buying USD with MXN and then buying the CAD with the USD and finally selling that amount of CAD directly for MXN would make a profit because we would be buying the CAD at a low MXN price and selling the CAD at a high MXN price.
