Assume an Australian importer expects to pay 16,000 Australian dollars (AUD) for $8,000 worth of U.S. goods, but on the shipment date 30 days later, the same volume of U.S. goods costs the Australian importer only 10,000 Australian dollars.

a. from $1 = 1.25 AUD to $1 = 2.0 AUD.
b. from $1 = 2.0 AUD to $1 = 1.25 AUD.
c. from $1 = 0.8 AUD to $1 = 0.5 AUD.
d. from $1 = 0.5 AUD to $1 = 0.8 AUD.
e. from $1 = 0.5 AUD to $1 = 2.0 AUD.
