Dear John,
In the options part of the question to convert USD 38 621 spot rate 1.5475 is used.
However I used 1.5510.
We recieve dollars and we need to convert them to pound, so it means we will sell dollars, so 1.5510 is the sell rate.
Can you tell me where I go wrong ?
They are converting USD 59,766 to pounds.
The $59,766 is the premium, and the premium is payable. Therefore they are buying dollars and the relevant exchange rate is therefore 1.5475
Thank you 🙂 Clear.
You are welcome 🙂
