    D. The dollar appreciates against the Hungarian forint.

    Explanation:

    If the dollar appreciates against the Hungarian forint, it implies that the american company will get lesser amount in dollars when they collect their money back as against what was anticipated when they made the investment. This is because, when the Hungarian forint depreciates against the dollar, each Hungarian forint will thus buy lesser amount of dollars than in the past or when the us company decided to invest. So the exchange rate plays a huge factor on what the us company will earn in return on investment. If the dollar were to depreciate against the Forint, the US company will earn more in that 2 months when they take it back in dollars.
