Which of the following statements about the effect of the change in the USD to GBP exchange rate during the year is most accurate? Operating income for Thames would:选项:
A.increase because of the positive effect on revenues. B.increase because of the positive effect on operating costs. C.decrease because of the negative effect on operating costs.解释:
SolutionC is correct. Thames incurs fuel and lease costs in USD. During the year, the USD has strengthened relative to the GBP (from GBP0.6400/USD to GBP0.6800/USD), thereby making purchases (costs) in USD more expensive for Thames and thus decreasing operating income.
A is incorrect. The strengthening USD would not significantly affect revenues because most sales are in GBP.
B is incorrect. The USD strengthened thereby increasing the costs incurred in USD and decreasing operating margins.
解析中是 0.64GBP/USD ,但是我做题的时候以为 GBP/USD=0.64,就是GBP=0.64USD。
这个到底是怎么表示的啊?
