**USD Equivalent Exchange Rates**

The table below provides the BID and ASK exchange rates for the currencies of Switzerland (Swiss Franc) and the Euro in terms of USD equivalent.

| Country                   | BID     | ASK     |
|---------------------------|---------|---------|
| Switzerland (Franc) CHF   | 0.8653  | 0.8667  |
| Euro €                    | 1.4000  | 1.4200  |

**Cross-Exchange Rate Calculation:**

To find the BID cross-exchange rate for Euro per Swiss Franc (EUR/CHF), use the BID rates from the table:

\[ \text{Bid (EUR/CHF)} = \frac{\text{Bid (EUR/USD)}}{\text{Ask (CHF/USD)}} = \frac{1.4000}{0.8667} \]

This calculation gives the cross-exchange rate for converting Swiss Francs to Euros based on the BID prices.
