4. You have an accounts payable to a German exporter for 100 Porsche Cayenne SUVs. The seller offers a 2 percent discount for payment within 10 days and full payment due in 30 days (2/10 net 30). Today the exchange rate is $1.40 per Euro. You notice that the 30 day forward rate for the $/Euro is $1.38.....what should you do? You owe 70,000 Euros for each of the cars (before any discounts).

You are picking up reading material for the flight and are looking at the prices listed on the Economist magazine which conveniently lists prices in several different global currencies. You note that the price in Pounds is 2.40 pounds and the price in Euros is 2 Euros. The exchange rate for the dollar (your credit card was issued in the USA) is $1.59/pound and $1.3837/euro. Should you buy reading materials now or wait until you're in Paris
