    the current spot rate for the dollar/euro is $/e 2.000 +- 0.003. the dollar is quoted at a 0.2c premium for forward rate

    so the forward rate is 2.003 – .002 = 2.001

    i cant not understand the answer explnation given in bpp kit.

    why is the premium being deducted?

    what does a premium mean?

    thank u

    You can not have watched the lectures because I go through lots of examples on this (and I cannot type out the entire lecture here!).

    If the dollar is being quoted at a premium it means the dollar is going to strengthen and so there will be fewer dollars to the euro – so we subtract the premium.
    (Similarly we add a discount)
