b) If spot rate = $0.09800/Ps:
The value of her position at maturity = -$88,000
c) If spot rate = $0.11000/Ps:
The value of her position at maturity = -$40,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Notional selling price of June futures = 500,000 pesos
Number of contracts = 8
June Settlement Futures rate = $0.10773/Ps
a) If spot rate = $0.12000/Ps:
The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8
= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.10773/Ps) * 8
= -500,000 * 0.01227 * 8
= -$49,000
b) If spot rate = $0.09800/Ps:
The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8
= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.09800/Ps) * 8
= -500,000 * 0.022 * 8
= -$88,000
c) If spot rate = $0.11000/Ps:
The value of her position at maturity = -Notional selling price * (Spot rate - Futures rate) * 8
= -500,000 * ($0.12000/Ps - $0.11000/Ps) * 8
= -500,000 * 0.01 * 8
= -$40,000
