    Dear Sir,

    I would like to ask about how to caculate the annual volatility in Q2,b) of Pilot Paper.
    The answer have the annual volatility of sterling/EUR = 0.22.
    It should come from which stated in the Question: “the monthly volatility of the Euro against sterling is 6.35 per cent”. Howerver I don’t know how it results in 0.22.

    Thanks for your effort,

    Ha

    He has used the interest rate formula (Fo=So x (1+hc)/(1+hb))) on the formula sheet.
    Remember that the interest rates quoted are always yearly rates, and so for the 3-monthly interest rates you divide by 4.
