ii.An Australian exporter with a transaction denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD) is exposed to downside risk if the AUD appreciates.
iii.An exposure in a currency with a high standard deviation against the AUD entails a greater degree of risk than does a similarly sized exposure in a currency that has a relatively low standard deviation.
iv.If an Australian-based company has net exposures in a range of currencies,each exposure should be not hedged because each of them involves the same degree of risk.
