Answer:
Explanation:
1st strategy : Selling pound forward
The spot rate of the pound is quoted at $1.51.
The one-year forward rate exhibits a 2.65% premium.
The one-year forward rate = 1.51 ( 1+ 0.0265)
= $ 1.55
Dollars received = 100000 * 1.55 = $155000
2nd strategy : Buying put option
The strike price of put = $1.54
premium on option is $.03
Amount received per option = $ 1.54 - $ 0.03 =$1.51
Total Dollars received = 100000* 1.51 = $ 151000
the best possible hedging strategy is Selling pound forward and receiving $155000
