7 stepsHere are the dollar cash flows for each hedging strategy:
Part a· 3 steps
Determine the dollar cash flows to be received if Jones uses a money market hedge.
Calculate the amount of Euros Jones needs to borrow today so that the principal plus interest equals the €1,000,000 expected in one year.
Jones will use the Eurozone borrowing rate.
Convert the borrowed Euros into U.S.
Dollars at the current spot rate.
Invest these U.S.
Dollars for one year at the U.S. deposit rate. This will be the dollar cash flow received in one year. The received €1,000,000 in one year will be used to repay the Euro loan.
The dollar cash flow to be received is
\boxed{\mathbf{\1,222,641.51}}$.
Part b\mathbf{\1,186,400.00}$
\mathbf{\1,186,400.00}$
Determine the dollar cash flows to be received if Jones uses a put option hedge.
Calculate the total premium paid today for the put options.
Since Jones has no cash on hand, the premium must be borrowed.
Calculate the future value of this premium in one year using the U.S. borrowing rate.
Determine the outcome of the put option at maturity.
The expected spot rate in one year is 1.23/€. Therefore, Jones will exercise the put option.
Calculate the net dollar cash flow in one year by subtracting the future value of the premium from the dollars received from exercising the option.
The dollar cash flow to be received is
\boxed{\mathbf{\1,186,400.00}}$.
