Crown Co. is expecting to receive 100,000 British pounds in one year. Crown expects the spot rate of the British pound to be $1.

49 in a year, so it decides to avoid exchange rate risk by hedging its receivables. The spot rate of the pound is quoted at $1.51. The strike price of put and call options are $1.54 and $1.53, respectively. The premium on both options is $.03. The one-year forward rate exhibits a 2.65 percent premium. Assume there are no transaction costs. What is the best possible hedging strategy and how many U.S. dollars Crown Co. will receive under this strategy?

Answer:

Sell pound forward

Explanation:

Forward rate = $1.51 *(1+2.65%) = 1.51 * 1.0265 = 1.55

Amount receivable in case of forward hedge = 100,000 * 1.55 = 155,000

Premium payable on put options = 100,000 * 0.3 = 3,000

Amount receivable in put options = 100,000 * 1.54 = 154,000

Net receivables in put options = 154,000 - 3,000 = 151,000

Conclusion: Higher amount is available in case of forward hedge. So, sell pound forward

A student looking at the timeline for a student loan on page 60 of the text makes the following​ observation: The text states th
Brrunno [24]

Answer: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest.​ Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to​ interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid.

Explanation:

When paying back a loan, there are two components to the periodic interest payment. The first component is the interest payment. This is the payment to compensate the borrower for loaning out the money and is based on the interest rate and the principal left to be repaid.

The second component goes towards repaying the principal of the loan which in this case is $10,000. When computing the periodic interest rate therefore, the entire amount paid per period should not be used as it would inflate the interest rate.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The correct answer is (D) it has appreciated in terms of other currencies.

Explanation:

Currency appreciation is the increase in the value of a country's currency with respect to one or more foreign reference currencies, which normally occurs in a floating exchange system.

The reasons that can make a currency or currency appreciate are diverse and usually related to a high demand for it. For example, the consideration of a currency as a low risk of depreciation or a very high level of exports of a country (the demand for the currency to pay for exports will increase) are causes that give rise to the appreciation of a currency.
