Multiply nominalDomesticPerForeign by foreignPrice and divide by domesticPrice, requiring positive inputs.

Multiply nominalDomesticPerForeign by foreignPrice and divide by domesticPrice, requiring positive inputs.

Limitations and assumptions

  • This quote convention is explicit; prices must represent comparable goods or indices and the ratio is not a live exchange rate.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Check currency direction, quote date, bid/ask conventions, and the full transaction or model before interpreting the result.
