问题如下:
An executive from Switzerland checked into a hotel room in Spain and was told by the hotel manager that 1 EUR will buy 1.2983 CHF. From the executive’s perspective, an indirect exchange rate quote would be:
选项:
A. 0.7702 EUR per CHF.
B. 0.7702 CHF per EUR.
C. 1.2983 EUR per CHF.
解释:
A is correct.
An indirect quote takes the foreign country as the price currency and the domestic country as the base currency. To get CHF—which is the executive’s domestic currency—as the base currency, the quote must be stated as EUR/CHF. Using the hotel manager’s information, the indirect exchange rate is (1/1.2983) = 0.7702.
解析:间接报价发下,外币代表价格货币,本国货币代表基础货币。利用本例中的信息,间接汇率为(1/1.2983) = 0.7702.
1EUR will buy 1.2983CHF这种英文表达有点让我绕不过来弯,我会理解成1单位的EUR相当于1.2983CHF,那不就是1.2983CHF/EUR吗?还望老师替我解惑,谢谢。
