For what type of purchase would you use a Futures Exchange?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'no- quoting in the supplier's currency increases the risk for the buyer'. This questions comes up in a variety of formats in the exam. Remember; if the price is in your own currency (most examples in the exam are given in ) there is less risk than if the prices are quoted in a foreign currency. This is because exchange rates fluctuate; if the price is in you always know what you're paying, if it's in another currency the price can change daily depending on if the exchange rate compared to has gone up or down.

A) Tail Spend? Really? Futures exchanges are for big-ticket items, not office supplies. I think I'll go with C) Commodity.

I'm going with D) High value, high risk. Futures trading can be pretty risky, so that seems like the most accurate description.

Definitely C) Commodity. That's what futures exchanges are all about - trading commodities like wheat, oil, gold, etc.
