Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

June Futures Contract = 500000 Pesos (MXN)

And Number of Contracts Sold = 8

And, Initial Exchange Rate = 0.10773 $ / MXN

Now

Initial Position Value is

= 8 × 500000 × 0.10773

= $430920

Now

(a) The value of her position is

Final Exchange Rate = $0.12002 / MXN

Final Position Value is

= 8 × 500000 × 0.12002

= $480080

So,  

Net Position Value is

= 430920 - 480080

= - $49160

And,

(b) The value of her position is

Final Exchange Rate = $0.09802 / MXN

Final Position Value is

= 8 × 500000 × 0.09802

= $392080

So,

Net Position Value is

= 430920 - 392080

= $38840

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.
wariber [46]

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

Let’s say you are a defense attorney and are defending a client on a murder charge. The victim was found in a dark alley. A witn
Klio2033 [76]

As mentioned the alley was dark. So it is possible that there was someone else at the crime scene and the witness is mistaken to be that man. It is quite possible to see someone in the dark and mistaken them for someone else. As the alley was dark, eye witness testimony is not reliable.

The eyewitness doesn’t have any evidence whereas my client has an alibi and he was not present at the crime scene. Even if my client was standing near the boy it doesn’t prove that he killed someone.
