Question

Louis owns an import business. After traveling to France on numerous occasions, he developed a taste for fine French wines. A radio report that he heard this morning indicated that the dollar has fallen sharply against the euro. Based on this information, Louis expects that: A. American goods will become more expensive in France. B. French wines will become more expensive in the United States. C. French wines will become less expensive in the United States. D. the French government will place an embargo on American exports.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. French wines will become more expensive in the United States.

Explanation:

Exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another during international trade. The strength of a currency determines how much of the other countrie's goods it can purchase.

When the strength of a countrie's currency is high it will purchase more of the other countrie's goods. If however the currency is weak, it will take more to buy the other countrie's goods.

In this case if the dollar falls against the euro, it will take more dollars to buy French wine than before.

For example if a bottle of French wine was $500, after the fall the price may now be $800.
