Hello sir,
in this question, I am confused by 2 points:– why did they rounded DOWN the contracts instead of just rounding to the nearest whole? (I figured maybe to avoid more premiums?)
Eg: 115.9 rounded to 115 instead of 116.
Is it wrong if I rounded to 116?-to find the forward rates shouldn’t we do : 128 x (1.022/1.108) instead of 128 x (1.108/1.022)?
My logic being: 128 is 128 MShs per euro therefore the number which is on the numerator should be the rate of Mazabia
No?Thanks..

2. The calculation in the answer is correct because Mazabia is being quoted against the euro. and the euro rate is 2.2%
