Part 2: Pedro in Costa Rica wants to purchase some wild Atlantic salmon from Hans in Iceland. The fish are purchased in Iceland's currency, the krona. Pedro's brother works in a bank and will take care of the transactions free of charge. Pedro has 1,000,000 colons to start with. (There is no transaction fee, and shipping is not calculated at this point.)

How much krona does he have to work with?

The next day Hans decides to purchase some bananas from his new trading partner in Costa Rica. Han's sister works for an import/export agency and can arrange the transaction in euros with no fee. Hans takes all of the krona he received from Pedro and proceeds to convert his currency to colon. (Note, one country's currency experienced some weakness overnight.)

How much colon does he have to work with? List your steps and the results you achieved with each step. Also, explain some factors that could cause the country's currency to weaken.
