    Gain = 132,000 - 120,000 = 12,000 dollars

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    A year ago, MC Hammer Company had inventory in Britain valued at 240,000 pounds. The exchange rate for dollars to pounds was 1£ = 2 U. S. dollars. This year the exchange rate is 1£ = 1.82 U. S. dollars. The inventory in Britain is still valued at 240,000 pounds.

    Year 1 = 1/2 = 0.5 exchange rate

    Inventory year 1 = 240,000*0.5 = 120,000 dollars

    Year 2 = 1/1.82 = 0.55 exchange rate

    Inventory year 2 = 120,000*0.55 = 132,000 dollars
