You plan to visit Geneva, Switzerland in three months to attend an international business conference. You expect to incur the to

tal cost of SF 5,000 for lodging, meals and transportation during your stay. As of today, the spot exchange rate is $0.60/SF and the three-month forward rate is $0.63/SF. You can buy the three-month call option on SF with the exercise rate of $0.64/SF for the premium of $0.05 per SF. Assume that your expected future spot exchange rate is the same as the forward rate. The three-month interest rate is 6 percent per annum in the United States and 4 percent per annum in Switzerland.
Required:
a. Calculate your expected dollar cost of buying $F5,000 if you choose to hedge by a call option on SF.
b. Calculate the future dollar cost of meeting this SF obligation if you decide to hedge using a forward contract.

Answer:

A. 3403.75 dollars

B. 3150

C. 0.579

D. Is an attachment

Explanation:

A. We first find the premium cost

= 0.05x5000 x 1+0.06/4

= 250x1.015

= 253.75

From here we find expected dollar cost

= Exchange rate x units + premium

= 0.63x5000+253.75

= 3,403.75 dollars

B. Forward rate = 0.63

Total cost of dollar

= 0.63x5000

= 3150

C. The investor would be indifferent at 0.579

Forward rate = unit * future + premium

3150 = 5000 * future + 253.75

3150-253.75 = 5000*future

We solve and divide through by 5000

Future = 0.579

D is in the attachment

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$3,791

Explanation:

Given that

Expected amount received = $1,000

Number of years = 10 years

= Expected amount received × PVIFA factor at 5 years at 10%

= $1,000 × 3.7908

= $3,791

Refer to the PVIFA table

Simply we multiplied the expected amount received by the PVIFA factor

Mary's Music Store reported net income of $142,000. Beginning balances in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable were $25,500
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Net cash flow will be $117200

Explanation:

We have given net income = $142000

Account receivable = $2500

And account payable = $18500

So increase in account receivable = $25000 - $18500 = $6500

Ending balance in account is $30500 and $12200

So decrease in account payable = $30500-$1200 = $18300

Now we have to fond the cash flow

So cash flow = $142000 - $6500 - $18300 = $117200
