(2) Relationship between Currencies and Exchange Rates:
Exchange Rates
January 1, 2022 June 30, 2022
Direct Exchange Rate
5.08 SAR
4.5647 SAR
(SAR/GBP)
Indirect Exchange Rate
0.1969 GBP
0.2191 GBP
(GBP/SAR)
*Numbers above are accurate according to SaudiExchangeRates.org.uk
December 31, 2022
4.5474 SAR
0.2199 GBP
Required:
a) Choose any two currencies of the two nations
b) Determine the Direct and Indirect Exchange Rates on the above given dates in table.
c) Explain clearly the Decrease or Increase in the DER and IER during the two period
given in the table.
d) Explain Relative Strengths and Weaknesses of these currencies during these periods.
e) Discuss the impact of Changes in the Exchange Rates on the Import and Export of
these nations.
Answer from Slide 8-11
a) Saudi Arabia and Great British Pound is chosen as the two currencies in the table.
b) Data given above, based on historical data from exchangerates.org.uk
c,d & e)
Because of the war happening in Europe during 2022, the same trend happens in both first and
second half of the year 2022.
First half of 2022 (Jan 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022)
Direct rate decreases and indirect rate increases, which means it takes less SAR to
acquire GBP and inversely more GBP to acquire a SAR.
Which means imports to Saudi Arabia from the United Kingdom will increase in quantity
(because Saudi Riyal can acquire now more than it used to) and exports from Saudi Arabia to the
UK normally decrease (because it takes more GBP to acquire the same amount).
The same relationship is inverse to UK imports and exports to Saudi Arabia during the period.
Second half of 2022 (June 30, 2022 to December 31, 2022)
Similar trend to the first half of the year with similar effect, though the decrease in direct rate is
lower as well as the increase in the indirect rate.

(3) Partnership form of business organisation has certain pros and cons. Explain any Two
advantages and Two Disadvantage of Partnership form of business organisation.
Answer from slides 10-6 and book page 508
Advantages:
Ease of formation: A primary advantage of the partnership form of entity is ease of formation. The
agreement to form a partnership may be as informal as a handshake or as formal as a many paged
partnership agreements.
Single Taxation: Partnerships only report their earnings—they are not taxed at the business entity
level (as are corporations).
Disadvantages:
Unlimited Liability: In a general partnership, all partners have unlimited liability for the debts and
obligations of the business. This means that if the business is unable to pay its debts, the partners’
personal assets may be at risk.
Difficulty in disposing of partnership interest: In many partnerships, the partnership agreement
may place restrictions on the transfer of ownership interests. For example, the other partners may
have the right of first refusal, meaning that they have the first opportunity to buy the departing
partner’s interest before it can be offered to an outside party. Additionally, finding a buyer for a
partnership interest can be challenging, as the buyer would be entering into a pre-existing business
relationship with the remaining partners.
Nothing follows.
