Sharma Co. is a U.K. firm with a Chinese subsidiary that produces cell phones in China and sells them in Japan. This subsidiary pays its wages and its rent in Chinese yuan, which is stable against the pound. The cell phones sold to Japan are denominated in Japanese yen.

It does not plan to remit any funds to Sharma, the U.K. parent.

d. If the Chinese subsidiary needs to borrow money to finance its expansion and wants to reduce its exchange rate risk, should it borrow U.K. pounds, Chinese yuan, or Japanese yen?
