I was able to calculate (a) but I am having trouble with the calculations of (b). Thanks!
The following are New York closing rates for A$/US$ and $/£:
A$/$ = 1.5150; $/£ = $1.2950
(a) Calculate the cross rate for £ in terms of A$ (A$/£).
(b) If £ is trading at A$1.95/£ in London (cross market) on the same day, is there an arbitrage opportunity? If so, show how arbitrageurs with £ could profit from this opportunity and calculate the arbitrage profits in £ and in percent.
SEE THE IMAGE. ANY DOUBTS, FEEL FREE TO ASK. THUMBS UP PLEASE
