Devon Ltd manufactures plastic moulding machines. Annual company sales are £3 million in the UK and £12 million in the rest of Europe (invoiced in euros, average exchange rate £0.60:1 euro). The cost of goods sold are £11 million, half of which is incurred in the euro area again at £0.60:1 euro (about half the product is actually made in Europe and half in the UK).
