A U.S. corporation has purchased currency put options to hedge a 100,000 Canadian dollar (C$) receivable. The premium is $.02 pe
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

$97,000      

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Receivable amount = 100,000 Canadian dollar

Premium per unit = $0.02

Exercise price of put option = $0.94

Spot rate at maturity = $0.99

Now,

Dollars received from selling Canadian dollars in the spot market

= Receivables amount  × Spot rate

= $100,000 × $0.99

= $99,000

Premium paid for options = Receivable amount  × Premium per unit

= $100,000 × $0.02

= $2000

Therefore,

The net amount received by the corporation if it acts rationally

= Dollars received from selling Canadian dollars - Premium paid

= $99,000 - $2000

= $97,000

Assume that the reserve requirement is 10%. All other things being equal, will the money supply expand MORE if the Fed buys $1,0
Strike441 [17]

Solution:

The reserve ratio is 10%.

Money multiplier = \frac{1}{reserve requirement } = \frac{1}{0.10}  = 10.

So, the money multiplier increases by 10.

Money supply = amount x money multiplier = 1,000 x 10 = 10000

Therefore, because any certain items are equivalent, the rise in the currency supply is 10000 dollars.

When the FED sells 1,000 million worth of debt, this would further increase the monetary market, as the investments are fresh funds and the income from the bank is now used in the money supply.
