Hi, for Q1 (a) sample answer, I have come across the spot cross rates of 0.70 - 0.74 ARD per JPY. Please may I know whether the spot cross rates is in the AFM syllabus, since I haven't seen this in the AFM workbook & revision kit (BPP)? Thank you.

It is examinable, but does not require any special learning. 1 EUR buys 92.7 ARD, and 132.4 JPY will buy 1 EUR Therefore 132.4 JPY will buy 92.7 ARD Therefore 1 JPY will buy 92.7/132.4 = 0.70 ARD It is the same logic for the other rate :-)
