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:

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
