Google: Gemini Pro Vision 1.0 mmmu / FinancePublic Answer: $1,515,000 Explanation: The forward rate for 90 days is 0.6075 franc per dollar. This means that Desreumaux will have to pay 1,000,000 francs * 0.6075 francs per dollar = $607,500 for the watches in 90 days. However, the exchange rate in 90 days is 0.50 franc per dollar. This means that Desreumaux will actually have to pay$ 607,500 / 0.50 franc per dollar = $1,215,000 for the watches. In addition, Desreumaux has already agreed to purchase 15,000 watches for 1 million francs at today's spot rate of 0.6028 franc per dollar. This means that he will have to pay $1,000,000 * 0.6028 franc per dollar =$ 602,800 for these watches. Therefore, the total amount that Desreumaux will have to pay for the 30,000 watches is $1,215,000 +$ 602,800 = $1,817,800. Difficulty: Medium Subfield: Financial Management

Answer: $1,515,000

Explanation: The forward rate for 90 days is 0.6075 franc per dollar. This means that Desreumaux will have to pay 1,000,000 francs * 0.6075 francs per dollar = $607,500 for the watches in 90 days. However, the exchange rate in 90 days is 0.50 franc per dollar. This means that Desreumaux will actually have to pay$ 607,500 / 0.50 franc per dollar = $1,215,000 for the watches.

In addition, Desreumaux has already agreed to purchase 15,000 watches for 1 million francs at today's spot rate of 0.6028 franc per dollar. This means that he will have to pay $1,000,000 * 0.6028 franc per dollar =$ 602,800 for these watches.

Therefore, the total amount that Desreumaux will have to pay for the 30,000 watches is $1,215,000 +$ 602,800 = $1,817,800.
