    SENSITIVITY CAN BE EXPRESSED

    AS:RV = + (S) +

    Here,

    RV = Change in the real domestic value of a particular itemS = unanticipated changes in exchange rate between

    domestic and foreign currency

    = Slope of the regression line

    = Constant

    = Random error

    FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISKSymbolically :

    Var(RV) = 2Var(S)

    Here,Var(RV) = variance of the change in value of a businessitem caused by unanticipated changes in foreignexchange rates

    = regression coefficient which describes the systematicrelation between (RV)

    And (S)

    Var(S)= variance of unanticipated changes in the foreignexchange rate
