I would like to ask, I thought when calculating calculating future exchange rates the inflation rate for base country becomes the denominator and that of a foreign country becomes numerator, but I am confused why it has been done differently in the Okan Co question

The ‘base’ currency is the currency against which the other is being quoted.
Here, the rate is quoted as Y$3.03 = GBP1, so GBP is the ‘base’ country for the formula.
Have you watched my free lectures on forecasting future spot rates?
