    First question:

    The question says that Galeplus gets 75% of any benefit after deducting bank fees.

    Therefore they save 75% x (2.55% – 0.75%) = 1.35%

    But surely you could see that from the workings in the answer?

    Why on earth should fees be deducted? The question says that they are earning fees.

    The best and worst case PV’s are arrived at by converting the rubbits PV’s to GBP PV’s at the best and worst case exchange rates that are show above.

    Hello Sir,

    Please confirm the overall arbitrage opportunity from using a currency swap is 2.55% is the sum of the fixed interest rate of 2.05 and floating of 0.5 i am a bit confused because the answer has the fixed interest as a negative -2.05%?

    The answer states that the overall benefit is 2.55%. It seems you are just looking at one part of the workings – read the sentence below in the answer 🙂
