5. What is the trend of the exchange rate for each currency compared to the U.S. Dollar over the
past month? How about the past year? How about the past 5 years?
6. Based upon review of three or more sources below, what is your assessment of the Country Risk
for each country?

variation depending upon which sources you used or the nature of the business? If so, explain.
How would this risk for each country compare to doing business in the United States?
