U.S. based MNC owns in Mexico which is denominated in foreign currency (Mexican Peso ) are subject to economic exposure because the market value of the firm is affected by exchange rate movement in domestic market. In this case the value of the firm will be calculated in local currency and fluctuation in exchange rate in domestic market will affect the market value of the firm.
