Answer: $3312.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The exchange rate in the rate at which a currency is being converted for another currency in the foreign exchange market. From the question, we are told that Walblue imports a desk from a French manufacturer for sale in its chain of U.S. stores.and that the cost of a desk to Walblue is 3,700 euros (€).

The dollar cost of one of these desks if the exchange rate is currently 1.117 euros per U.S. dollar goes thus:

$1 = €1.117

Therefore, €3700 will be converted to dollars as:

= 3700/1.117

= $3312.4

The answer is $3312.4
