Answer 1

Part A-2

Impact on 2017 income:

Sales	59500
Foreign Exchange Gain	1700
Loss on Forward Contract	(1700)
Premium revenue	425
Total	$59925

Part A-3

Impact on 2018 income:

Foreign Exchange Gain (17000*(3.75-3.60))	2550
Loss on Forward Contract	(2550)
Premium revenue (17000*(3.575-3.50)*2/3)	850
Total	850
