Given P the direct quotes in U.S. dollars for the Mexican peso (MXN) and the Peruvian nuevo sol (PEN), determine the MXN/PEN bid-ask cross rates. Select the closest correct answer.

USD/MXN Bid/Ask: 0.11001 - 0.11036

USD/PEN Bid/Ask: 0.28818 - 0.28918

A)
MXN/PEN 2.62890 - 2.64630
B)
MXN/PEN 0.38300 - 0.38554
C)
MXN/PEN 2.61127 - 2.62867



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.)

MXNBid / PENAsk = 0.11001 USD/MXN / 0.28918 USD/PEN = 0.38042 PEN/MXN,

1 / 0.38042 PEN/MXN = 2.62867 MXN/PEN

MXNAsk / PENBid = 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

Given the following quotes: 2.00 GBP/USD and 8.00 Pesos/USD, calculate the direct Pesos/GBP spot cross exchange rate.

A)
0.625.
B)
0.250.
C)
4.000.

Given the following quotes: 2.00 GBP/USD and 8.00 Pesos/USD, calculate the direct Pesos/GBP spot cross exchange rate.

A)
0.625.
B)
0.250.
C)
4.000.



The direct method of quoting currencies is domestic currency / foreign currency or GBP/Pesos. You need to calculate what one peso is worth in pounds, 8 / 2 = 4.

A bank in Canada is quoting CAD/USD bid 1.4950 ? ask 1.5005, and USD/EUR bid 0.9350 ? ask 0.9400. What is exchange rate bid and ask for CAD/EUR?

A)

CAD/EUR bid 1.3978 ? ask 1.4105.

B)

CAD/EUR bid 1.5904 ? ask 1.6048.

C)

CAD/EUR bid 0.6254 ? ask 0.6264.

A bank in Canada is quoting CAD/USD bid 1.4950 ? ask 1.5005, and USD/EUR bid 0.9350 ? ask 0.9400. What is exchange rate bid and ask for CAD/EUR?

A)

CAD/EUR bid 1.3978 ? ask 1.4105.

B)

CAD/EUR bid 1.5904 ? ask 1.6048.

C)

CAD/EUR bid 0.6254 ? ask 0.6264.



First invert the USD/EUR quote by 1 / 0.9350 = 1.0695 and 1 / 0.9400 = 1.0638 for a EUR/USD bid-ask spread of 1.0638 ? 1.0695 EUR/USD. Then set up a bid-ask matrix.

1.4950 / 1.0695 = 1.3978 CAD/EUR

1.5005 / 1.0638 = 1.4105 CAD/EUR

The CAD/EUR bid-ask spread is 1.3978 ? 1.4105

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

A)
2.28211 ? 2.29921 CAD/BP.
B)
2.29921 ? 2.31631 CAD/BP.
C)
2.28957 ? 3.28863 CAD/BP.



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.)

CADBid / BPAsk = 1.59031 CAD/$ / 0.69686 BP/$ = 2.28211 CAD/BPBid

CADAsk / BPBid = 1.59701 CAD/$ / 0.69459 BP/$ = 2.29921 CAD/BPAsk

The cross rate of MXN/PLN is 8 MXN/USD / 6 PLN/USD = 1.333 MXN/PLN.

The current spot rates for currency exchange are as follows: Thai Baht to $ of 0.02240 THB/$ and Australian Dollar (AUD) to Thai Baht of 23.89923 AUD/THB. What is the $/AUD spot cross exchange rate?

A)

0.00094.

B)

0.53534.

C)

1.86796.

The current spot rates for currency exchange are as follows: Thai Baht to $ of 0.02240 THB/$ and Australian Dollar (AUD) to Thai Baht of 23.89923 AUD/THB. What is the $/AUD spot cross exchange rate?

A)

0.00094.

B)

0.53534.

C)

1.86796.




The cross rate between $ and AUD is calculated in the following manner:

Step 1:  Multiply the two quotes together (THB will cancel out) to obtain AUD/$: 0.02240 THB/$ * 23.89923 AUD/THB = 0.53534 AUD/$.

Step 2: Take the reciprocal of this result to obtain $/AUD: 1 / 0.53534 AUD/$ = 1.86796 $/AUD

An alternative calculation method is as follows:

Step 1: Take the reciprocal of the THB/$ quote:  1 / 0.02240 THB/$ = 44.64286 $/THB

Step 2: Divide this result by the AUD/THB quote:   44.64286 $/THB / 23.89923 AUD/THB = 1.86796 $/AUD

Given the following bid-ask spreads, calculate the SF/DKK bid ask spread:  

A)

1.6771 ? 1.9733.

B)

0.53749 ? 0.56216.

C)

0.50675 ? 0.59627.




Set up a bid-ask matrix using:

SF/$ bid-ask 1.3096 ? 1.4528

DKK/$ bid-ask 2.4365 ? 2.5843

(1.3096 SF/$) / (2.5843 DKK/$) = 0.50675 SF/DKK

(1.4528 SF/$) / (2.4365 DKK/$) = 0.59627 SF/DKK

If the spot exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar is 0.7775 ?/$, and the spot exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the British pound is 1.8325 CAD/?, what is the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar spot cross exchange rate?

A)

1.42477.

B)

0.70186.

C)

0.42428.




First, convert 0.7775 ?/$ to 1/0.7775 = 1.28617 $/?.

Then, divide 1.28617 $/? by 1.8325 CAD/? = 0.70187 $/CAD.

The Japanese yen is trading at 115.2200 ¥/$ and the Danish krone (DKK) is trading at 16.4989 ¥/DKK. The $/DKK exchange rate is:

A)
6.9835 $/DKK.
B)
0.1432 $/DKK.
C)
0.5260 $/DKK.



The cross rate between $ and DKK is calculated in the following manner:

$/¥ × ¥/DKK = (1 / 115.2200) × 16.4989 = 0.1432 $/DKK (the Yen cancels out)

A Mexican dealer gives a quote of 8.00 bid / 8.10 ask (MXN/USD) and a London dealer quotes the U.S. dollar at 2.00 bid / 2.1 ask (GBP/USD). What is the MXN/GBP bid and ask from the perspective of a Mexican dealer?

A)
3.81 ? 4.05.
B)
3.81 ? 3.86.
C)
4.00 ? 4.05.

A Mexican dealer gives a quote of 8.00 bid / 8.10 ask (MXN/USD) and a London dealer quotes the U.S. dollar at 2.00 bid / 2.1 ask (GBP/USD). What is the MXN/GBP bid and ask from the perspective of a Mexican dealer?

A)
3.81 ? 4.05.
B)
3.81 ? 3.86.
C)
4.00 ? 4.05.



This result is determined as follows:

Step 1: Invert GBP quote.

First, we need to invert the GBP quotes to make the currency units USD/GBP. Then, when we multiply by the MXN/USD quote we will have the correct MXN/GBP units. (Remember that when you take the reciprocal of a quote, the bid becomes the ask and vice versa. So, for the bid we take the given ask)

Bid: 1.00000 / 2.10000GBP/USD = 0.47619USD/GBP

Ask: 1.00000 / 2.00000GBP/USD = 0.50000USD/GBP

Step 2: Calculate MXN/GBP bid-ask Prices.

Bid: 8.00000MXN/USD × 0.47619USD/GBP = 3.80952MXN/GBP, or 3.81MXN/GBP.

Ask: 8.10000MXN/USD × 0.50000USD/GBP = 4.05000MXN/GBP, or 4.05MXN/GBP.

Thus, the MXN/GBP bid-ask is: 3.81MXN/GBP - 4.05MXN/GBP.
