Suppose DeGraw Corporation, a U.S. exporter, sold a solar heating station to a Japanese customer at a price of 130.5 million yen

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$845,207.3

Explanation:

Calculation for what dollar amount would DeGraw actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars

First step is to calculate the exchange rate of 1 yen for 140.0 yen per dollar and 154.4 yen

Exchange rate of 1 Yen = $1 /140

Exchange rate of 1 Yen= $0.007142858

Exchange rate of 1 Yen = $1 / 154.4

Exchange rate of 1 Yen= $0.006476684

Now since the price for the item bought was 130,500,000 Yen which means that the exchange rate for 1 Yen will be $0.006476684

Now let calculate the dollar amount

Dollar amount=(130,500,000 *$0.006476684) / 1

Dollar amount= $845,207.3

Therefore the dollar amount that DeGraw would actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars is $845,207.3
