A portfolio has a value P(E,S), so that the value P is a function of E, the price of a Euro in Canadian dollars, and S, the level of the TSX stock index. Presently the portfolio is worth $209,000, while a Euro is $1.50 Canadian, and the index is S = 18,000. If the partial derivatives of P have values dP/dE = 71,000, and dP/dS = -23, what approximately will the portfolio value be if the price of a Euro goes down by 0.04 and the stock index goes down by 657?
