Using the exchange rate below, answer the following (by showing all work).
To determine/check for the correct BID or ASK, use the following:
For example, GBP/AUD of 1.9341 for BID means 1.9341 AUD =1 GBP
GBP/AUD of 1.9343 for ASK means 1.9343 AUD =1 GBP
If I am BUYING the British pound, since the middle man (aka the exchange rate service) will make some profit, they will ask me to pay MORE AUD to get 1 GBP. This means I need to use the ASK rate of 1.9343 to BUY GBP.
Conversely, I should use the BID rate of 1.9341 to SELL GBP
THUS, the BID column is to SELL the TOP currency (aka BUY the bottom currency) and
the ASK column is to BUY the TOP currency (aka SELL the Bottom currency) in this data.
