This document discusses different types of foreign exchange risk that companies face when operating internationally. It provides two example cases: 1) A Japanese car maker in the US that would be negatively impacted if the dollar depreciates against the yen, increasing costs. If the dollar appreciates instead, it would positively impact the company. 2) A Japanese electronics manufacturer in Japan selling to US firms. An appreciating dollar (increasing from $1=¥23 to $1=¥30) would negatively impact the yen value of sales. The risks discussed are operating risk from fluctuating exchange rates, transaction risk, and translation or accounting risk from currency value changes affecting financial statements.
