Question 24 of 30 Suppose you have a 1,200,000 US dollar payable coming due in June and that the spot today is .98 US/CDN. You get a strike of .98 US and you are dealing with the PHLX. Suppose you are deciding whether or not to hedge out the foreign exchange risk. The size of the Canadian dollar contract on the PHLX is 50,000 Canadian dollars per contract. The option price is listed as 1.00 for the June put on Canadian dollars and .90 on the June call. Suppose you expect the US/CDN to be .97 on the last day of the option (the expiry date). This also happens to be the day you need to cover your payable. How much does it cost you to set up the hedge with brokerage cost set to zero? (In CANADIAN dollars approximately.)

St. John's Brewery (SJB) is getting ready for a busy tourist season. SJB wants to either increase production or produce the same amount as last year, depending on the demand level for the coming season. SJB estimates the probabilities for high, medium and low demands as 0.32, 0.31, and 0.37 respectively, on the basis of the number of tourists forecasted by the local recreational bureau. If SJB increases production, the expected profits corresponding to high, medium and low demands are $800,000, $400,000 and $100,000 respectively. If SJB does not increase production, the expected profits are $550,000, $325,000 and $200,000 respectively. (NOTE: Text answers are case sensitive and the value of different parts of this question is indicated in square brackets [*/*]) Construct a decision tree for SJB. On the basis of the EV, what should SJB do? What is the expected value of increasing production? What is the expected value of not increasing production? Should SJB increase production (enter…
