Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At an exchange rate of $.30 per franc, there is excess demand for francs, as the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied. This leads to a rise in the dollar price of the franc, an increase in the quantity of francs supplied (as suppliers respond to the higher price), and a decrease in the quantity of francs demanded (as buyers are deterred by the higher price).
