Question - Exposure of a Portfolio of Currencies

Volusia, Inc. is a U.S.-based exporting firm that expects to receive payments from sales denominated in both euros and Canadian dollars in one month. Based on today's spot rates, the dollar value of the funds to be received is estimated at $200,000 U.S. for the euros and $800,000 U.S. for the Canadian dollars. Based on data for the last fifty months, Volusia estimates the standard deviation of monthly percentage changes to be 10 percent for the euro and 5 percent for the Canadian dollar. The correlation coefficient between the euro and the Canadian dollar is 0.58. Assuming that on average, the currencies appreciate each month; 0.12 % percent per month for the euro and 0.15% per month for the Canadian dollar. This means average return due to currency fluctuations is 0.12% for euro, and 0.15% for Canadian dollar.
