Assume that Stevens Point Co. has net receivables of
200,000 Singapore dollars in 60 days. The spot rate of the S$ is
$0.80, and the Singapore periodic interest rate is 1.5% over 60
days (annual rate is 9% per year, so periodic rate is 1.5% per 60
days). Assume US periodic interest rates of 0.5% over 60 days or
(annual rate is 6%, so periodic rate is 0.5% per 60 days). If the
U.S. firm could implement a money market hedge, what is the value
of the receivables in US dollars in 60 days using a money market
hedge? Assume borrowing and lending rates are the same for
simplicity. Be precise.
