    in the CURRENCY SWAPS ( DEC 04 ADAPTED), part (b) (ii), in the worst case rates in the year 1 to 3, the figures are 0.27, 0.16 and 20.07.

    how did they get this figure ? year 0 is 2000 divided by 85.40 but for worst case rates i was not able to get 0.27 in the year 1 by dividing 40 with 128.10.

    should the year 1 for the worst case rates be 40 / 128.1 = 0.31 ???? not 0.27 ??

    It is the PV that you should be dividing by 128.10 – not the cash flow.
    (or if you prefer, divide 40 by 128.10, and then discount the answer – it gives the same result!)

    34.8/128.10 = 0.27

    For the best case scenario:

    Of the total receipt of 4,040, we convert 2,000 at 85.40 (which gives 23.4192) and the other 2,040 at 129.88 (which gives 15.7068). So a total of 39.126.

    This is the cash amount, so discounting it for 3 years at 15% gives 39.126 x 0.658 = 25.74.
    (the tiny difference is rounding which is irrelevant).

    It is the same workings for the worst case scenario.
