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

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A proprietorship.

Explanation:

Sole proprietorships are businesses with a single owner who is responsible for all the operations. The advantage of this type of business is that they are not strictly regulated by the government and are easy to form but the owner has full liability which implies if the business falls into debt, the personal assets of the owner can be considered to repay that debt.
