The sale is invoiced in Chilean pesos (contract for settlement).

If Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. paid 2 months later, on March 1, the spot rate is CLP 0.582 9 = 1.0
KRW. If Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. did not pay until April 1 (90 days), the spot rate is CLP 0.598 3 = 1.0 KRW.
