8y ago#1If they are receiving $'s in 3 months time, then they will borrow dollars at 1.25%, and they will deposit pounds at 1.75%
When converting the $'s to pounds, the exchange rate to use is 1.61, not 1.60 (they are selling dollars to buy pounds).
Your answer has them borrowing $'s at the deposit rate, and then borrow pounds as well !!!
Clearly
So many thanks sir John :)
