Exercise Question 3 (4 points) Suppose a Canadian company expects its U.S. customer to pay USD 5,000,000 in one year when the spot rate is 1USD = 1.30 CAD and the 1 year forward rate is 1USD = 1.40 CAD If the company hedges 75% of their exposure and the Spot exchange rate in one year turns out to be 1 USD = 1.50 CAD, calculate the Canadian dollar value of the proceeds to the company to the nearest dollar. Solution: Unhedged portion is 25% of USD 5,000,000 that is exchanged at the 1.50 spot rate 5,000,000 (.25)(1.50) = 1,250,000(1.50) = CAD 1,875,000 Hedged portion is 75% of the USD 5,000,000 that is exchanged at the 1.40 forward rate 5,000,000 (.75)(1.40) = 3,750,000(1.40) = CAD 5,250,000 Total proceeds = 1,875,000 + 5,250,000 = CAD 7,125,000
