Suppose an analyst is assessing the currency exposure of a French firm that imports bicycles from the U.K. If the value of the British pound appreciates, will the French firm’s cost structure improve or deteriorate? Why?

A)
 Deteriorate, because the French cost of imported bicycles will go down.
B)
 Improve, because the French cost of imported bicycles will go down.
C)
 Deteriorate, because the French cost of imported bicycles will go up.

If the pound appreciates, then bicycles imported from the U.K will be more expensive in France. Hence, the cost structure of the French bicycle importer will deteriorate.

Consider a Canadian firm that exports hockey sticks to the U.S. Prices are set and collected in U.S. dollars. The inflation differential between Canada and the U.S. is 2% (Canadian inflation minus U.S. inflation). What is the valuation impact on the Canadian exporter if the value of the Canadian dollar falls by 2% during the next year?

A)
 The firm is helped by the falling value of the Canadian dollar.
B)
 The firm is hurt by the falling value of the Canadian dollar.
C)
 All currency changes are nominal, so the change has no real impact.

The change in the valuation of the currency is fully explained by the inflation differential. Hence, there should be no impact on the valuation of the firm in real terms.
