There are 8 pesos to the dollar, so multiply 1200 by 8 to get the number of pesos. A bushel costs 12 pesos, so divide by 12 to get 800 bushels.

Tap to reveal answer
If a nation has an excellent return on investments, that makes investing in that nation more appealing to foreign and domestic investors. Foreigners will exchange their currencies for the currency of the nation with a high rate of return. Domestic investors may take their investments out of foreign markets and invest domestically to take advantage of the high rate of return. This leads to a high demand for the demand currency, meaning people are willing to pay more to recieve that currency. This causes the currency to appreciate in value.

Because an exchange rate is a fluid marker of the equivalent value of two different currencies, two different measures of an exchange rate are necessary. When a transaction is necessary in the moment, the current exchange rate, or a present marker of relative value between currencies, is used. When the transaction is made but scheduled for exchange on a future date, the forward exchange rate, or a projection of future relative value based on recent trends, is used as the exchange rate.
