    Hi John

    I cannot get round my head how cross rates have been worked/derived in this question:

    Spot rates JPY per €1 are 129.2-132.40
    Spot rates ARD per €1 are 92.7-95.60

    Inflation in Airone (currency ARD) is 9%
    Inflation in Japan (currency JPY) is 1.5%

    I need to convert ARD 10,150m to JPY….

    Can you please assist?

    Thank you.

    1 EUR buys 92.7 ARD, and 132.4 JPY will buy 1 EUR

    Therefore 132.4 JPY will buy 92.7 ARD

    Therefore 1 JPY will buy 92.7/132.4 = 0.70 ARD

    It is the same logic for the other rate 🙂

    Why do we use the 0.70 and not the 0.74 exchange rate for the investment appraisal? Since we transfer ARD to YPY, we sell ARD?

    You are correct. For some of the flows the examiner should have used the other cross rate.
