    Good day Mr. Moffat.

    May you assist me on this

    dollar/pound=2

    My questions are how does the exchange rate changes if say:
    1. The dollar has strengtherned by 10% and instead
    2. The pound has strengtherned by 10%.

    How does the rate changes if the currencies weakened instead of strengtherned.

    Thank you.

    If the current exchange rate is dollar/pound 2, then 2 dollars equals 1 pound.

    If the dollar strengthens, then 2 dollars will buy 10% more pounds, so the rate will change to 2 dollars = 1.1 pounds, so the rate becomes 2/1.1 = 1.82 dollars equals 1 pound.

    If the pound strengthens, then 1 pound buys 10% more dollars, to the rate becomes 2.2 dollars equals 1 pound.

    Ask in the general forum – not in a forum for Paper F9 under a heading of ‘exchange rates’!!
