You have been asked to compare the sales and assets of four com- panies that make computer chips to determine which company is the largest in each category. You have gathered the following data, but they cannot be used for direct com- parison because each company's sales and assets are in its own currency:
|
Company (Currency)
|
Sales
|
Assets
|
| Abril Chip (U.S. dollar) |
2,000,000 |
1,300,000 |
|
Dao (Hong Kong dollar)
|
5,000,000
|
2,400,000
|
|
Aiko (Japanese yen)
|
350,000,000
|
250,000,000
|
|
Orca (euro)
|
3,000,000
|
3,900,000

Assuming that the exchange rates in Exhibit 2 are current and appropriate, convert all the figures to U.S. dollars (multiply amount by exchange rate) and determine which company is the largest in sales and which is the largest in assets.
