$5,000,000 * 0.7627 = Euro 3,813,500.00

We will get Euro 3,813,500.00

Step 2 : We will convert euro into SF by Selling Euro

Euro 3,813,500.00 / 0.6395 = SF 5,963,252.54

We will get SF 5,963,252.54

Step 3 : We will convert SF into $ by selling SF

SF 5,963,252.54 / 1.1806 = $ 5,051,035.53

We will get $ 5,051,035.53

Arbitrage Profit = $ 5,051,035.53 - $5,000,000.00

Arbitrage Profit =$51,035.53
