Answer:
b. Buy £1,000,000 forward for $1.50/£.
Explanation:
Let's say for instance, we agree to make purchase of €1,000,000 and then forward for $1.50/€ and we assume that the price turns out to become $1.62/€ in three months time, the expected profit will be $12,000 = €1,000,000 ($1.62 - $1.50)As we can see, answer d looks convincing from an accounting standpoint, but it is wrong because the question asks us to make money with a forward contract, not by holding a particular spot. The correct option should be option b.
Answer:
$273.96
Explanation:
The balance will be the future value of $209, at 7% for four years.
The formula for calculating the future value is as below.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
Where PV is the present value, $209
r= is the interest rate 7% or 0.07
n= 4 years
FV = $209 x ( 1+ 0.07) ^4
Fv =$209 x 1. 310
Fv = 273.9563
Fv= 273.96
