An Australian exporter has received goods from India and will pay 2 million Indian rupees (INR) in one year. The exporter expects that the value of the INR will appreciate by 24.05% against the Australian dollar from today’s spot rate of 0.2607 in one year. How much Australian dollar the exporter will make a profit in percentage (%) due to appreciation of INR after one year? (enter 2 decimal places number with no sign or symbol)
Today's spot rate = 0.2607 AUD/INR
Expected spot rate = 0.2607 * (1 + 0.2405)
Expected spot rate = 0.32339835 AUD/INR
Profit = (Today's spot rate - Expected spot rate) * Amount to pay in INR
Profit = (0.2607 - 0.32339835) * 2,000,000
Profit = -0.06269835 * 2,000,000
Profit = -125,396.7
Or a loss of AUD 125,396.7
The exporter will make a loss of AUD 125,396.7
Loss in percentage = Loss in AUD/(Today's spot rate * Amount to pay in INR)
Loss in percentage = 125,396.7/(0.2607 * 2,000,000)
Loss in percentage = 125,396.7/521,400
Loss in percentage = 0.2405
Loss in percentage = 24.05%
Answer: 24.05
