4.   Your company imports wines from France. You will be paying EUR 200,000 for import of 2000 cases of Bordeaux in 3 month. Current spot rate of Euro is $1.2751/91, and the 3-month forward rate is $1.2908/45. In order to avoid risk of currency fluctuation, you negotiate a forward contract with your bank. If the exchange rate three months from now (when you receive the payment) is USD 1.2815/47,

     

(a)  How much will you have to pay for your Euros?

(c)  A 3-month call option on EUR with a strike price of $1.2810 is available for a premium of $0.018, and a 3-month put option with the same strike price is available for a premium of $0.028. What option strategy can you use to hedge your EUR receivables? What will be your profit/loss using this strategy if the exchange rate of EUR is indeed USD 1.2815/47 at the end of three months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      (d)  Would you recommend a forward contract or an option contract? Why?

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality. I was at a crossroads last semester and I almost dropped out of school because of the many issues that were bombarding but I am glad a friend referred me to you guys. You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.
