Assume an Australian importer expects to pay 16,000 Australian dollars (AUD) for $8,000 worth of U.S. goods, but on the shipment date 30 days later, the same volume of U.S. goods costs the Australian importer only 10,000 Australian dollars. This means that between the contract date and the payment date, the exchange rate has changed:
a. from $1 = 1.25 AUD to $1 = 2.0 AUD. b. from $1 = 2.0 AUD to $1 = 1.25 AUD. c. from $1 = 0.8 AUD to $1 = 0.5 AUD. d. from $1 = 0.5 AUD to $1 = 0.8 AUD. e. from $1 = 0.5 AUD to $1 = 2.0 AUD.
