Suppose a week after you get this report from your research department, you hear on the news that Colombia and Vietnam are going to increase money supply to stimulate their economy while the United States is keeping its money supply stable, you would expect that: a. Both projections will be the same since the US is keeping their money supply fixed
b. the 3 month projections for the peso would be smaller while that of the dong will be larger
c. the 3 month projections for the peso would be larger while that of the dong will be smaller
d. the 3 month projections for the peso and dong will be smaller
e. the 3 month projections for the peso and dong will be larger

e. the 3 month projections for the peso and dong will be larger

Explanation:

this question is about a company that imports coffee from Colombia and Vietnam (along with 3 other countries). The report stated an estimation of the future value of the Colombian peso and Vietnamese dong. But that report is outdated and irrelevant now. Since the central banks of Colombia and Vietnam decide to increase their money supply, while the US money supply remains stable, that will result in a higher depreciation of the peso and dong. I.e. their currencies will be cheaper against the US dollar, so the estimations made before are incorrect now. The previous estimates were:

Vietnam

Colombia

Since the currencies will depreciate more against the US dollar, both estimates must increase, e.g. probably in 3 months $1 will be worth 24,000 dongs or 3,200 pesos.
