Yohe Telecommunications is a multinational corporation that produces and distributes telecommunications technology. Although its corporate headquarters are located in Maitland, Florida, Yohe usually buys its raw materials in several different foreign countries using several different foreign currencies. The matter is further complicated because Yohe often sells its products in other foreign countries. One product in particular, the SY$-20$ radio transmitter, draws Component X$,$ Component Y$,$ and Component Z $($its principal components$)$ from Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, respectively. Specifically, Component X costs $175$ Swiss francs, Component Y costs $15$ euros, and Component Z costs $100$ British pounds. The largest market for the SY$-20$ is Japan, where the product sells for $55,000$ Japanese yen. Naturally, Yohe is intimately concerned with economic conditions that could adversely affect dollar exchange rates.
