Suppose exchange rate of Japanese yen in US $ is $.010, exchange rate of euro in US $ is $1.34, and exchange rate of euro in Japanese yen is 139 yen and you have $100, 000 to invest. By looking the exchange rates, do you see triangular arbitrage opportunity? What is your profit or loss? Show the work to support your answer.
Peter Sheffield has Euros (€) amounting to €500,000 and is provided with the following quotes:
Bank A: Euro/US dollar = €0.8418/$
Bank A: British pound /US dollar = £0.7538/S
Bank B: British pound/Euro = £0.8863/€
Determine whether an arbitrage opportunity exists. Show your calculation in the space below and briefly explain (in one or two sentences) why the arbitrage opportunity exists or not.
For example, show your calculation as follows (The currencies used in the example are not applicable to your calculation. It just provide you with information
how you should show your calculation):
Yen/ZAR = 11.7654/1.3954 = 8.4316 (Round your answer to 4 decimals)
Reason why arbitrage opportunity exists/ does not exist:
In New York, you can exchange $1 for €0.8575 or £0.7. Suppose that, in Berlin, £1 costs €1.1515. How much profit can you earn on $10,998 using triangle arbitrage?
