Foreign Exchange Risk and Hedging

  1. Assume that GE wants to raise the equivalent of $100 million by selling 6-month (or 3-month) Euro-commercial paper in Switzerland. Collect the U.S. $- Swiss franc exchange rate from a recent WSJ and compute the amount of commercial paper to sell in Swiss francs (SF) to bring home $100 million.

 

  1. Collect the yield/rate on the 6-month (or 3-month) Euro-commercial paper. Keeping in mind that commercial papers do not offer any coupon interest and are sold at a discount, will the amount of commercial paper (in SF) in #1 be enough to raise $100 million? If not, compute how much commercial paper to sell to raise needed funds.

 

  1. After six (or three) months, GE will have to pay the face value on the commercial papers. It does not want to take the risk due to exchange rate fluctuations. How can it hedge this risk?

 

  1. Collect the 6-month (or 3-month) forward rate between $-SF. How many SF would GE have to buy to cover its payment for the commercial paper in Switzerland?

Oh my god! This writing company has saved me from so many bothering and figured out my problem in the best way possible. I am not fond of reading and when this book review was given to me as part of my coursework, I went into depression. But I must say, my writer came up with an amazing book review covering all the major aspects of the book nicely. I am waiting for other assignments to come so that I would come here again. The place is good and quite reasonable as well which makes it easy for me to manage my budget.
