- If the spot exchange rate is S = 0.7 € / $1, estimate the approximate price of a forward contract due in six months.
-
- How much does a Pepsi costs in dirhams if Pepsi costs $0.75 with an exchange rate $1 = 3 dirhams?
- Please calculate the cross-rate exchange rate for the convertible mark (KM) and U.S. dollar for the following exchange rates:
- A trader at Citibank has 500,000 Bosnian convertible marks (KM) and observes the following exchange rates:

- A cross rate is the currency exchange rate between two currencies, both of which are not the official currencies of the country in which the exchange rate quote is given in.
- For example, if an exchange rate between the euro and the Japanese yen was quoted in an American newspaper, this would be considered a cross rate in this context, because neither the euro or the yen is the standard currency of the U.S.
