    Dollar Loss in value of inventory=$43,200

    Explanation:

    The movement in exchange rate from $2 to $1.82 per pound represents a depreciation in the value of Pounds and therefore a depreciation in the value of the inventory.

    The loss in value of the inventory would be difference between the Dollar value a year ago and now. This will be done as follows:

    Dollar value of inventory a year ago = 240,000 * $2.00 = 480000

    Dollar Value of inventory now = 240,000 * $1.82 = 436,800

    Dollar Loss in value of inventory = $480000 - 436,800 = $43,200

    Dollar Loss in value of inventory=$43,200
