Suppose DeGraw Corporation, a U.S. exporter, sold a solar heating station to a Japanese customer at a price of 143.5 million yen, when the exchange rate was 140 yen per dollar.

What is the difference (in dollars) between what DeGraw could have received had they asked for payment immediately (before the devaluation of the yen) instead of six months later?
