1. Suppose your firm is owed an account receivable of C$1,000,000 due on Dec. 23, 2015.
Treat this as a one-month hedge. Show how you would hedge this debt with:
a) a money market hedge (use appropriate borrowing and lending rates),
b) option contracts (use the borrowing rate to carry the cost forward),
c) forward contracts.
d) What would your hedging results (ending cash flows) be if the spot rate on Dec 23 were U$0.73/C$?
e) if U$0.74/C$?
f) if U$0.75/C$?
g) if U$0.76/C$?
h) if U$0.77/C$?
i) What if you had gone unhedged with the ending spot rates for d, e, f, g, and h?
j) Graph the results for ending spots of U$0.73/C$ through U$0.77/C$.
k) Which approach do you think would be best?
