After completing the table, answer the questions:Assuming each Rolls Royce engine marketed to Airbus is initially priced at 22.5 million pounds each, how has the price of that engine changed over the period shown when priced in euros at the current spot rate?What is the cummulative percentage change in the price of the engine in euros for the three year period?If the price elasticity of demand for Rolls-Royce turbine sales to Airbus is relatively inelastic and the price of the engine in British pounds never changes over the period, what does this price change mean for Rolls-Royce total sales revenue on sales to Airbus of this engine?Compare the prices and volumes for the first quarter of each of the three years shown in the table b) .
