DeMagistris Fashion Company, based in New York City, imports leather coats from Acua Leather Goods, a reliable and longtime supplier, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Payment is in Malaysian Ringgit (RM). When the Malaysian Ringgit gain its parity with the U.S. dollar in January 2017 it gained in value to RM 4.0/$ by October 2002. The outlook was for a further decline in the pesos value. Since both DeMagistris and Acua wanted to continue their longtime relationship they agreed on a risk-sharing arrangement. As long as the spot rate on the date of an invoice is between RM 3.5/$ and RM 4.5/$ DeMagistris will pay based on the spot rate. If the exchange rate falls outside this range, they will share the difference equally with Acua Leather Goods. The risk-sharing agreement will last for six months, at which time the exchange rate limits will be reevaluated. DeMagistris contracts to import leather coats from Acua for RM 8,000,000 or $2,000,000 at the current spot rate of RM 4.0/$ during the next six months. How much is the dollar cost of 6 months of imports to DeMagistris with and without the risk-sharing arrangement?
