Question:

Royce Co. is a U.S. firm with future receivables one year from now denominated in Canadian dollars and British pounds.

Royce’s treasurer says that the estimate of dollar cash flows to be generated from the British pound receivables is subject to greater uncertainty than that of the Canadian dollar receivables. Explain the rationale for the treasurer’s statement.
