Graylon, Inc., based in Washington, exports products to a German firm and will receive payment of €200,000 in three months. On June 1, the spot rate of the euro was $1.12, and the 3-month forward rate was $1.10. On June 1, Graylon negotiated a forward contract with a bank to sell €200,000 forward in three months. The spot rate of the euro on September 1 is $1.15. Graylon will receive $____ for the euros.

Answer 1

Answer:

Graylon will receive $220,000 for the euros

Explanation:

The computation of the Graylon received amount is shown below:

= Payment received × 3-month forward rate

= €200,000 × $1.10

= $220,000

Since the Graylon received the payment in three months so the rate which applies will also of 3 months. That's why we use the 3-month forward rate.  

Ignore all other rates which are given in the question
