Kansas Corporation, an American company, has a payment of €5.9 million due to Tuscany Corporation one year from today. At the prevailing spot rate of 0.90 €/$, this would cost Kansas $6,555,556, but Kansas faces the risk that the €/S rate will fall in the coming year, so that it will end up paying a higher amount in dollar terms. To hedge this risk, Kansas has two possible strategies.Strategy 1 is to buy €5.9 million forward today at a one-year forward rate of 0.89 €/$. Strategy 2 is to pay a premium of $109,000 for a one-year call option on €5.9 million at an exchange rate of0.88 €/$. Suppose that in one year the spot exchange rate is 0.85 €/$. What would be Kansas's net dollar cost for the payable under each strategy? Note: Round your answer to the nearest wholedollar amount. Suppose that in one year the spot exchange rate is 0.95 €/$.
