D. it's not a good time to buy the wood.

Answer 1

correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

slab = 10 feet

cost Tee Time = $5,000

$500 US dollars = $738 NZ dollars

solution

If they import timber from New Zealand. Tea Golf Resort pays less than $ 5000 to import Wood from New Zealand at the current exchange rate. This is a good time for them to import forests

we get here current exchange rate of 1 dollar that is as

US $500 = NZ $738

so $1 =
`(738)/(500)`

$1 = NZ $1.476

current exchange rate is $1 = NZ $1.476

so

10 foot slab costs $5000

so Tee Golf Resort will pay is

Tee Golf Resort pay =
`(5000)/(1.476)`

Tee Golf Resort pay = $3387.53

so correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.
