问题如下:
Over the past month, the Swiss Franc (CHF) has depreciated 12 percent against pound sterling (GBP). How much has the pound sterling appreciated against the Swiss Franc?
选项:
A. 12%
B. Less than 12%
C. More than 12%
解释:
C is correct.
The appreciation of sterling against the Swiss franc is simply the inverse of the 12% depreciation of the Swiss franc against Sterling: [1/(1 – 0.12)] – 1 = (1/0.88) – 1 = 0.1364, or 13.64%.
考点:Percentage Change in A Currency
解析:A货币对B货币的升值幅度不等于B货币对A货币的贬值幅度。
在本题中,[1/(1 – 0.12)] – 1 = (1/0.88) – 1 = 0.1364, or 13.64%.
经典题里讲说against 相当于“/”,这样的话,此题就是CHF/GBP,即A倍CHF等于1个GBP,这样就算不通了。。。。。
