Question
  • Assume you have $1,000 to invest in a triangular arbitrage transaction, what is your best course of action based on the following exchange rates?

 

In New York,           $1 = 4.5 CHF

In Zurich,                1 CHF = 3 DKK

In Copenhagen,       $1 = 6 DKK

 

$1 = 6 DKK so $1000 = 6000 DKK

2 DKK = 1 CHF means 6000 DKK = 2000 CHF

4.5 CHF = $1 means 2000 CHF = $444.44

$444.44 - $1000 = - $555.56
