Question 9 is based on theconversation you have just heard.

M: Hello Jane.

W: Hello Paul.

M: Please coming. I'm just getting ready to go home. Susan is expecting me for dinner. I wanted to be on time for a change.

W: Look, I'm terribly sorry to drop in this time on Friday, Paul, but it is rather important.

M: That's OK. What's the problem?

W: Well, Paul, I won't keep you long. You see there is a problem with the exchange rates. The Indian Rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see there is being a sharp increase in Indian's balance of payment deficit.

M: I see. How serious, isn't it?

W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest India, and the prospects for the Rupee look pretty gloomy.

M: And that's going to affect us, as if we didn't have enough problems on our hands.

W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contract.

M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover, now what does that mean exactly?

W: Well, it means that JO notes enters into a commitment to sell Indian Rupees at the present rate.

M: I see. And how will that benefit us?

W: Well, JO notes wouldn't lose out if Indian Rupee falls further.

M: What will it cost, Jane?

W: A small percentage, about 1% and that can be built into the price of the bike.

M: Well, I don't suppose there is much choice. All right Jane, let's put it into action.
