We recommend using the following "Bid-Ask Matrix Method" to calculate the bid and ask quotes:

Step 1: Put the bid-ask quotes into a matrix as below:

Currency	Bid	Ask
CAD/$	1.59031	1.59701
BP/$	0.69459	0.69686

Step 2: “Divide Out” the diagonals.(Remember to put CAD in the numerator - because CAD is in the numerator of the quote we are asked to calculate.)

CAD_Bid / BP_Ask = 1.59031 CAD/$ / 0.69686 BP/$ = 2.28211 CAD/BP_Bid

CAD_Ask / BP_Bid = 1.59701 CAD/$ / 0.69459 BP/$ = 2.29921 CAD/BP_Ask

We recommend using the following "Bid-Ask Matrix Method" to calculate the bid and ask quotes:

Step 1: Put the bid-ask quotes into a matrix. Use direct quotes in the common currency.

Currency	Bid	Ask
MXN	0.11001	0.11036
PEN	0.28818	0.28918

Step 2: "Divide Out" the diagonals and take the reciprocal. Remember that the quotes are direct quotes for a USD investor.

(Remember to put MXN in the numerator - because MXN is in the numerator of the quote we are asked to calculate.)

MXN_Bid / PEN_Ask = 0.11001 USD/MXN / 0.28918 USD/PEN = 0.38042 PEN/MXN,

1 / 0.38042 PEN/MXN = 2.62867 MXN/PEN

MXN_Ask / PEN_Bid = 0.11036 USD/MXN / 0.28818 USD/PEN = 0.38296 MXN/PEN,

1 / 0.38296 PEN/MXN = 2.61127 MXN/PEN

Step 3: Quote : The MXN/PEN Bid-Ask is:

(Note: The lower number from Step 2 is the bid, the higher number is the ask.)

MXN/PEN 2.61127 to 2.62867
