In my opinion its like this -
0.0310-0.0312/.0312 = -0.6410%
Hence Rupee has depreciated or SGD has appreciated

Yes, if u want to show the appreciation/depreciation rate then it has to be annualised & i've used the old rate as denominator i.e.
Appreciation/depreciation in base currencey = new rate-old rate / old rate
nd i m not sir, just a ca student

i have the answer but its wrong...in book they just messed up the figures so its incorrect there..
see 1 thing m sure is that...in case of calculations for the right hand currency (SGD) we use (FR-SR)/FR*100*12/m

Well my teacher told that appreciation/depreciation should always be calculated for base currency. If the quest. asks for price currency then first give reply for base and then for price currency as i've first found for rupee then for SGD.
Another option is to make sgd base in both quotes.

Yes but there would be minor difference nd it is known as "siegel's paradox" nd u can mention it in paper and write same ans for appreciation/depreciation by giving note that u r ignoring effect of siegel's paradox.
