问题如下：
2. If the US dollar were chosen as the functional currency for Acceletron in 2007, Redline could reduce its balance sheet exposure to exchange rates by:
选项：
A.selling SGD30 million of fixed assets for cash.
B.issuing SGD30 million of long-term debt to buy fixed assets.
C.issuing SGD30 million in short-term debt to purchase marketable securities.
解释：
A is correct.
If the US dollar is the functional currency, the temporal method must be used, and the balance sheet exposure will be the net monetary assets of 125 + 230 – 185 – 200 = –30, or a net monetary liability of SGD30 million. This net monetary liability would be eliminated if fixed assets (non-monetary) were sold to increase cash. Issuing debt, either short-term or long-term, would increase the net monetary liability.
考点：balance sheet exposure
解析：
如果US dollar 是functional currency, 说明functional currency = reporting currency, 选择temporal method.
Exposure= monetary assets – monetary liability =125 + 230 – 185 – 200 = –30,负号代表exposure为净负债的头寸。
如果卖掉fixed assets (non-monetary) ，cash增加，monetary assets增加，可以抵消净负债的头寸，选项A正确。
选项B是Issuing debt, monetary liability 增加，固定资产属于non-monetary asset，MA不变，最终增大净负债的头寸。
选项C发行短期债，monetary liability增加，marketable securities属于non-monetary asset，MA不变，最终增大净负债的头寸。
（根据教材：Monetary items are cash and receivables (payables) that are to be received (paid) in a fixed number of currency units. market securites一般属于non-monetary asset）
这道题让求exposure的变化。
我理解在TM方式下，exposure就是货币型资产-货币型负债
货币性资产的增加会导致暴露在汇率风险下的资产会增加。
那么选项A是增加cash，cash属于货币型资产，所以cash头寸的增加一定会导致exposure上升啊？
