"Stover Corporation, a U.S. based importer, makes a purchase of crystal glassware from a firm in Switzerland for 39,960 Swiss fr

ancs, or $24,000, at the spot rate of 1.665 Swiss francs per dollar. The terms of the purchase are net 90 days, and the U.S. firm wants to cover this trade payable with a forward market hedge to eliminate its exchange rate risk. Suppose the firm completes a forward hedge at the 90-day forward rate of 1.682 Swiss francs. If the spot rate in 90 days is actually 1.615 Swiss francs, how much in U.S. dollars will the U.S. firm have saved or lost by hedging its exchange rate exposure?

Answer:

The U.S. firm will <u>lose $985.6</u> by hedging its exchange rate exposure.

Explanation:

- We have the two scenarios Stover Corporation may choose to exercise as below:

<u>* Without hedging:</u>

In 90 days, Stover receives 39,960 Swiss francs, exchange this amount at the spot rate in 90 days which is 1.615 to get: 39,960/1.615 = $24,743.03.

<u>* With hedging:</u>

In 90 days, Stover receives 39,960 Swiss francs, exchange this amount at the 90-day-forward rate entered at the beginning, which is 1.682 to get: 39,960/1.682 = $23,757.43.

- As a result, entering into exchange rate hedging makes Stover incur loss of $24,743.03 - $23.757.43 = $985.6.

Serhud [2]

I guess the correct answer is unsuccessful, because Sarah was not injured.

Baylee is driving her friend Sarah to the movies. Baylee loses control of the car and crashes into a fence. The vehicle's airbags deploy, and both Sarah and Baylee are shaken up but not physically injured. Sarah threatens to sue Baylee for negligence.

In the economy of Panicia, the monetary base is $1,000. People hold a third of their money in the form of currency (and thus two
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The new money supply is $1,500

Explanation:

Before we proceed to answer the question according to the scenario painted, we need to make some preliminary calculations as follows;

If the monetary base deposit is $1000 and people hold 1/3 of their money, this means that the;

Reverse deposit ratio = 1/3

Currency deposit ratio = (cash in cash)/cash in deposit = (1/3)/(2/3) = 0.5

Thus mathematically,

money supply =  (currency deposit ratio + 1)/(Reserve deposit ratio + Currency deposit ratio)  × Monetary Base

Money Supply = (1+1)/(1+1/3) *  1000 = $1,500
