Question

A Japanese EXPORTER has a €1,000,000 receivable due in one year. Spot and forward exchange rate data is given in the table:

  

Spot Rate	1-year forward rate	Contract Size
$1.20 =€1.00	$1.25= €1.00	€62.500
$1.00 =¥100	$1.20= €120	¥12,500,000

The one-year risk free rates are i_$ = 4.03%; i_€ = 6.05%; and i_¥ = 1%. Detail a strategy using forward contract that will hedge exchange rate risk.

Group of answer choices

Sell €1m forward using 16 contracts at the forward rate of $1.25 per €1.

Borrow €970,873.79 today; in one year you owe €1m, which will be financed with the receivable. Convert €970,873.79 to dollars at spot, receive $1,165,048.54. Convert dollars to yen at spot, receive ¥116,504,854.

Buy €1m forward using 16 contracts at the forward rate of $1.20 per €1.
