Solution
To answer this question, we need to convert the cost of the furniture from Euros to New Zealand dollars on both dates.
-
On 15 November 2017, the exchange rate was NZ1,016,949.
-
On 31 December 2017, the exchange rate was NZ2.17. This gives us NZ$1,302,000.
Comparing the two amounts, we can see that the amount payable in NZ dollars increased from 15 November to 31 December. This means that the New Zealand dollar weakened against the Euro during this period.
So, the correct answer is:
b. 15 November 2017 1,302,000 The New Zealand dollar weakened.
