Answer to Question 2

Financial officers typically adjust the mix of currencies that make up the firm's working capital to minimize foreign-exchange risk. Often firms use a leads and lags strategy to try to increase their net holdings of currencies that are expected to rise in value and to decrease their net holdings of currencies that are expected to fall in value.
