Ugh, VaR calculations always give me a headache. I wish they'd just ask about something more straightforward, like foreign currency translation.

Hmm, the daily standard deviation of the exchange rate is given as 0.5%. I wonder if that's a typo or if it's meant to be a trick.

This seems like a tricky question. I'd better review my notes on value at risk (VaR) calculations.
