Don't you have a chart that you have to go by giving you spot and forward rates on a certain date to help you make the decision of which is the best to use?

As far as any conversion rates, again, it can change from minute to minute. A specific date is required.

Hello There!

I see that I am not the only one looking for help in doing my homework :) How did you do with that class?I am currently taking INB and find it very interesting. Good luck in your future studies!

Hi Shiningstar!

I have two weeks left in INB and have never gotten an answer off any of these forums. I'm doing great, though! I have a 100 average in the class and I'm maintaining a 4.0 with four classes to go before I get my degree.

I hope you're doing well in your studies! Good luck! :)
