Answer Preview

1 AUD/USD Quote = 1.7652 / 1.7672

USD/AUD Indirect Quote = 1/1.7652 / 1/1.7652

= 0.5659 / 0.5665

The price at which dealer buys AUD using USD is 0.5659

The price at which dealer Sells AUD using USD is 0.5665

Therefore the dealer B can buy AUD using USD is 0.5665 (i.e., selling rate by dealer A)

Option 2 has to be slected

If we have to calculate the percentage of Change in AUD, we should know the USD rates per AUD.

Therefore, USD/ AUD (exchange rate 1) = 1 / 1.9585 = 0.5106

USD/ AUD (exchange rate 2) = 1 / 1.7662 = 0.5562

Therefore, appreciation in AUD against USD is = (0.5562 - 0.51060 / 0.5106 = 0.0556/ 0.5106 = 10.88%.

Option C is the correct answer.

We see that the annual percentage rate is given as=monthly rate*12=1.52%*12=18.2400%
