Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Paris. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is ESEUR LA 1.6027, РА while in Paris, it is Es/EUR 1.569.

Suppose DeGraw Corporation, a U.S. exporter, sold a solar heating station to a Japanese customer at a price of 143.5 million yen, when the exchange rate was 140 yen per dollar. In order to close the sale, DeGraw agreed to be paid in yen, thus agreeing to take some exchange rate risk for the transaction. The terms were net 6 months. a.

What is the difference (in dollars) between what DeGraw could have received had they asked for payment immediately (before the devaluation of the yen) instead of six months later?
