    C) $8,100

    Explanation:

    A foreign exchange gain happens when one company engages in foreign trade or foreign direct investment and when they convert the foreign currency into domestic money, the final amount is larger than originally expected. This happens because the exchange rate is not fixed, and if the foreign currency appreciated, then a gain will result since more domestic money will be received. On the other hand, if the foreign currency depreciates, this will result in a loss.
