Answer:

$4,100

Explanation:

The computation of the saving would be

= Purchase of new inventory × (Actual exchange rate in June - exchange rate in June)

= £100,000 × ($1.7311 - 1.6901)

= £100,000 × 0.041

= $4,100

We assume that the actual exchange rate is $1.7311, not the $1.7311.731

For computing the savings, we deduct the actual exchange rate and the exchange rate for the June month and then multiply it by the purchase of new inventory so that the accurate value can come.
