1. TCO D) A firm wants to use an option to hedge NZ$12.5 million in
receivables from New Zealand firms. The premium is $0.02. The
exercise price is $0.50. If the option is exercised, what is the total
amount of dollars received (after accounting for the premium paid)?
(Points : 12)
Received from exercising option = NZ $12.5 million * $0.50 = $6,250,000
Premium paid for options = NZ $12.5 million * $0.02 = $250,000
Amount of dollars received = $6,250,000 - $250,000 = $6000
2. (TCO B) Assume the following
information. You have $300,000 to invest.
The spot bid rate for the euro is $1.08.
The spot ask quote for the euro is
$1.10.
The 180-day forward rate (bid) of the euro is
$1.08. The 180-day forward rate (ask) of the euro
is $1.10. The 180-day interest rate in the U.S. is
6%.
The 180-day interest rate in Europe is 8%.
If you conduct CIA, what amount will you have after 180
days? Show your work. (Points : 12)
Using spot ask quote to convert US dollar into euro: $300,000/$1.10 = 272,727.27 euro
=> The amount of euro at the end of 180 days = 272,727.27 * (1+ 0.08) = 294,545.45 euro
Using forward bid quote to convert euro back into US dollar: 294,545.45 * $1.08 = $318,109.09
Question 3. 3. (TCO D) You purchase a call option on pounds for a premium of $0.03 per unit,
with an exercise price of $1.64; the option will not be exercised until the expiration date, if at
all. If the spot rate on the expiration date is $1.65, what is your net profit per unit? Show
your work. (Points : 12)
xercise Price = $1.64
