Analyze statement I

Using the Currency Exchange Rates knowledge point

• Currency exchange rates are determined by global market forces and fluctuate constantly.
• Therefore, the actual rate at the time of transaction will likely differ from any rate planned ahead of time.
• Statement I is valid.

Analyze statement II

Using the Transaction Fees knowledge point

• Currency exchange services (banks, kiosks, online platforms) charge varying service fees or commissions.
• These fees reduce the final amount received and differ across providers, making pre-planned estimates without specific fee details inaccurate.
• Statement II is valid.

Analyze statement III

• Taxes in different countries apply to purchases of goods and services, not to the direct exchange of currency itself.
• The physical act of exchanging one currency for another does not trigger foreign consumer taxes that alter the conversion amount.
• Statement III is invalid.

Determine the correct option

• Since statements I and II are valid reasons, and statement III is not, the correct combination is I and II.
• This corresponds to option a.
