with a currency that is weak (value low relative to other currency) will see a decline in the price if its
exports and an increase in the price of its imports. Lowe prices for the country’s exports on the world
markets can give companies the opportunity to take market share away from companies whose
products are priced high in comparison. Exchange rates also can affect the amount of profit a
company earns from its international subsidiaries.

(5 marks)
