Dear Sir,
I would like to ask about how to caculate the annual volatility in Q2,b) of Pilot Paper.
The answer have the annual volatility of sterling/EUR = 0.22.
It should come from which stated in the Question: “the monthly volatility of the Euro against sterling is 6.35 per cent”. Howerver I don’t know how it results in 0.22.Thanks for your effort,
Ha

Remember that the interest rates quoted are always yearly rates, and so for the 3-monthly interest rates you divide by 4. - AuthorPosts
