Citibank NYC |
Barclays London |

$0.8464-74/Ac‚¬ |
$0.8437-57/Ac‚¬ |
a. Using $1 million (or its euro equivalent), show how the corporate treasury could make geographic arbitrage profit with the two different exchange rate quotes. b. Suppose the banks update their quotes to the following:
|
Citibank NYC |
Barclays London |
|
$0.8454-71/Ac‚¬ |
$0.8440-62/Ac‚¬ |
