Persis's Gift Shop (Crossing the River With Dogs)?
Persis owns a gift shop. One day while she was opening a shipment of figurines she had just received, a stranger walked in and asked the price of a figurine. The figurines had cost Persis $6 each, but she had not decided on a selling price for them. She finally decided on $13 each, and the stranger promptly said he'd take one. her new clerk accepted his traveler's check for $40 and gave him change. Persis needed more change for the register and signed the traveler's check over to the pharmacist next door, Dr. Drell. An hour later, though, Dr. Drell came back to the gift shop and showed Persis that the traveler's check was actually in French francs, and was worth about $8 at the time. Persis apologized and wrote the pharmacist a check to cover the difference. Who lost how much in this transaction?
It seems to me that Persis lost $59 and a figurine.
The stranger had the figurine and $27 which had been given in change.
The pharmacist has the check worth $8 and Persis's check for $32.
So the loss to Persis was ($27 + $32) as well as the figurine.
