Explanation / Answer

BANK


Q.09) As it is evident from the table that the ask rate of Bank Said is least. Therefore it is profitable to buy euros from Bank Z

Therefore, 6 million dollars will get converted to euros @ 1€ = $1.1032

=> 6 million dollars= € 5438723.7128

Next for converting euros to dollars, to attain maximum arbitrage gain we need to convert with the bank having highest bid rate i. e., Bank X@ 1€=$ 1.1033

=> €5438723.7128= $ 6000543.8724

Therefore, Arbitrage gain = $ 6000543.8724 - $ 6000000 = $ 543.872

Q.10) The Ask rate for Bank Z is the least, hence it was used for calculating arbitrage gain. Any further decrease in the ask rate of Bank Z would lead to an increase in the Arbitrage gain provided other rates remain unchanged. Hence Hence the given statement in Q.10 is False.

Q.11) Triangular Arbitrage occurs only when there is a difference between the Actual cross rates and the Implied cross rates hence the given statement is False.
