Answer:

a) a forward hedge is better

b) a forward rate of 1.06 will make both method equal

Explanation:

Solution:  (a)

<u><em>forward hedge:</em></u>

20,000,000 x 1.10 = $<em>22,000,000</em>

<u><em>money market hedge:</em></u>

PV of Air France payment:

€20,000,000/1.05  = €19,047,619

In dollars at spot rate

€19,047,619 x $1.05/€ = $20,000,000

Then we invest at 6% risk-free:

$20,000,000(1.06) = <em>$21,200,000</em>

(b)

Forward rate:

Spot exchange-rate x US rate/Foreing rate =

1.05 x 1.06 / 1.05 = <em>1.06</em>
