    I choose (d). For the answer but I do not know if it is correct or not.
    Does anyone else have an idea about the answer to this question.
    I thought this was a help desk forum from real experts on live answers.
    I noticed that my questions for the past two days have been deleted?

    Thanks!

    What sort of transaction was it? Did the US firm sell $ (buy peso) forward or something?

    If yes then different scenario... if no then the US firm is at a loss... since now it has to pay more dollars to achieve the same peso amount...

    But I wonder, how can it happen? Credit sales.. fine.. but there should have been some contract?
