At the start of May, you purchased some shares in Apple (a US company) for $US 43.87, and hedged your position using forward contracts (hedging the purchase value of the shares). The exchange rate at the time of purchase was $US1 = $NZ 2.73, while the one month NZ interest rate was 7.90% and the one month US interest rate was 7.30% (both rates are per annum, with monthly compounding). At the end of May, the exchange rate was $US1 = $NZ 2.78, while the shares were worth $US 41.63. Apple paid no dividends during May. What was your ($NZ) holding period return over the month of May?
Suppose the annual interest rates in the U.S. (home
nation) and the U.K (foreign nation) are 8% and 6%,
respectively. A U.K. interest arbitrager decides to invest
£10,000 in the U.S for three months. Given that the
current spot rate is $2 per pound, calculate the EUD
from investing in the U.S., assuming that on the
maturity date the U.S. dollar is expected to depreciate
by 1%. Interpret your result.
Suppose that a U.S. company wishes to purchase goods from a German producer. The U.S. firm agrees to take the delivery of the goods in three months and to pay €1 million Euros at that time. This company wishes to avoid this exchange rate risk by buying Euros at the 3-month forward rate, f = 0.95 (€/$). Then, how much this company would have to pay in US dollars in exchange for €1 million Euros?
a. $1 million dollars.
b. $1,052,632 dollars.
c. $950,000 dollars.

- In a recent e-news, you observe that the 6-month forward rate is $1.5031/ Euro. Further, if you invest the dollar, it fetches you interest at the rate of 2% p.a.

Elan Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based multinational pharmaceutical company, is evaluating an export sale of its cholesterol-reduction drug with a prospective Indonesian distributor. The purchase would be for 1,680 million Indonesian rupiah (Rp), which at the current spot exchange rate of Rp9,440/$, translates into $177,966.10. Although not a big sale by company standards, company policy dictates that sales must be settled for at least a minimum gross margin, in this case, a cash settlement of $171,000. The current 90-day forward rate is Rp9,940/$. Although this rate appeared unattractive, Elan had to contact several major banks before even finding a forward quote on the rupiah. The consensus of currency forecasters at the moment, however, is that the rupiah will continue to strengthen, possibly rising to Rp10,200/$ over the coming 90 to 120 days. Analyze the prospective sale and make a hedging recommendation.

In ten years, the daughter will start college. She will need to pay for her college costs for four years with an annual sum of $20,000 in current (constant) dollars. Assume that these tuition payments will be sent in at the start of every academic year. (At the conclusion of ten years, the first payment is made.) The interest rate on the savings account will be 8% compounded quarterly (market interest rate) during this time, whereas the expected general inflation rate for the future is 5% annually. How much money would the daughter need to borrow in order to pay for her freshman year if the father decides to save only $500 (real money) per quarter?

The price in Japan increases with the local inflation rate and the cost in the US increases by the US inflation rate.
