Sagot :

Answer:

A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew

Explanation:

Todd is a loser due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar because now he will need more dollars to buy a comparative amount of South Korea won. His trip will now be more expensive.

An investment bank in South Korea, interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds - winner

The investment bank will exchange fewer wons for U.S. dollars than before. Buying government bonds will now be cheaper for them.

Goodyear, a firm based in the United States, sells car tires in South Korea - winner

Goodyear will likely sell more cars because for its South Korean customers, the cars are now cheaper since the value of the dollar has depreciated against the currency that they hold.

A family from South Korea visits relatives in the United States - winner

The South Korean family will exchange fewer wons for more U.S. dollars, making their trip cheaper.

A firm from South Korea sells handbags in the United States - loser

The handbags will now be more expensive for their American customers, likely causing a loss in sales revenue for the firm.

An electronics manufacturer in the United States, purchases a high tech company in South Korea - loser

The cost of the high-tech South Korean company is now higher for the American manufacturer because more dollars had to be exchanged for wons before the purchase.
