    Hi,
    I’m doing the September 2016 Section B Q16 in Bpp and I have a problem. The question is given that the spot exchange rate is €1.543 per $1. The domestic short-term interest rate is 2% per year, while the foreign rate is 5% per year and they asked about the six-month exchange rate predicted by interest rate parity. However, the currency in the box (which we will write our answer in number) was $ instead of € since as I calculate it would be €1.566 per $1. As I understand when $ symbol appear with the box,the question requires an answer as how much $ per €1.
    Please can you explain this to me.
    Thank you so much

    It is a typing mistake by BPP. The answer box should have a € symbol in front of it and not a $ sign. (It was correct in the real exam 🙂 )
