Problem 7.2 Amber McClain

Amber McClain, the currency speculator we met earlier in the chapter,sells eight June futures contracts for
500,000 pesos at the closing price quoted in Exhibit 7.1.

a. What is the value of her position at maturity if the ending spot rate is $0.12000/Ps?
b. What is the value of her position at maturity if the ending spot rate is $0.09800/Ps?
c. What is the value of her position at maturity if the ending spot rate is $0.11000/Ps?

Interpretation
Amber buys at the spot price and sells at the futures price.
If the futures price is greater than the ending spot price, she makes a profit.
Problem 7.3 Cece Cao in Jakarta

Cece Cao trades currencies for Sumatra Funds in Jakarta. She focuses nearly all of her time and attention on the U.S.
dollar/Singapore dollar ($/S$) cross-rate. The current spot rate is $0.6000/S$. After considerable study, she has concluded
that the Singapore dollar will appreciate versus the U.S. dollar in the coming 90 days, probably to about $0.7000/S$. She
has the following options on the Singapore dollar to choose from:

Option Strike Price Premium

Put on Sing $ $0.6500/S$ $0.00003/S$
Call on Sing $ $0.6500/S$ $0.00046/S$

a. Should Cece buy a put on Singapore dollars or a call on Singapore dollars?

b. What is Cece's breakeven price on the option purchased in part (a)?
c. Using your answer from part (a), what is Cece's gross profit and net profit (including premium) if the spot rate at the
end of 90 days is indeed $0.7000/S$?
d. Using your answer from part (a), what is Cece's gross profit and net profit (including premium) if the spot rate at the
end of 90 days is $0.8000/S$?

Option choices on the Singapore dollar: Call on S$ Put on S$

Strike price (US$/Singapore dollar) $0.6500 $0.6500
Premium (US$/Singapore dollar) $0.00046 $0.00003

Assumptions Values
Current spot rate (US$/Singapore dollar) $0.6000
Days to maturity 90
Expected spot rate in 90 days (US$/Singapore dollar) $0.7000

a. Should Cece buy a put on Singapore dollars or a call on Singapore dollars?

Since Cece expects the Singapore dollar to appreciate versus the US dollar, she should buy a call on Singapore dollars.
This gives her the right to BUY Singapore dollars at a future date at $0.65 each, and then immediately resell them in the
open market at $0.70 each for a profit. (If her expectation of the future spot rate proves correct.)

b. What is Cece's breakeven price on the option purchased in part a)?

Per S$
Strike price $0.65000
Note this does not include any interest cost on the premium. Plus premium $0.00046
Breakeven $0.65046

c. What is Cece's gross profit and net profit (including premium) if the ending spot rate is $0.70/S$?

Problem 7.4 Kapinsky Capital (A)

Christoph Hoffeman trades currency for Kapinsky Capital of Geneva. Christoph has $10 million to begin with, and he must
state all profits at the end of any speculation in U.S. dollars. The spot rate on the euro is $1.3358/€, while the 30-day forward
rate is $1.3350/€.

a. If Christoph believes the euro will continue to rise in value against the U.S. dollar, so that he expects the spot rate to be
$1.3600/€ at the end of 30 days, what should he do?

b. If Christoph believes the euro will depreciate in value against the U.S. dollar, so that he expects the spot rate to be
$1.2800/€ at the end of 30 days, what should he do?

a. b.
Assumptions Values Values
Initial investment (funds available) $10,000,000 $10,000,000
Current spot rate (US$/€) $1.3358 $1.3358
30-day forward rate (US$/€) $1.3350 $1.3350
Expected spot rate in 30 days (US$/€) $1.3600 $1.2800

Strategy for Part a):

One of the more interesting dimensions of speculating in the forward market, is that if the speculator has access to the forward
market (bank lines or relationships when working on behalf of an established firm), many forward speculation strategies
require no actual cash flow position up-front. In this case, Christoph believes the dollar will be trading at $1.36/€ in the open
market at the end of 30 days, but he has the ability to buy or sell dollars at a forward rate of $1.3350/€. He should therefore
buy euros forward 30 days (requires no actual cash flow up-front), and at the end of 30 days take delivery of those euros and
sell in the spot market at the higher dollar rate for profit.

Initial investment principle $10,000,000.00

30 day forward rate (US$/€) $1.3350
Euros bought forward (Investment / forward rate) € 7,490,636.70
Spot rate in open market at end of 30 days (US$/€) $1.3600
US$ proceeds (euros bought forward exchanged to US$ spot) $10,187,265.92
Profit in US$ $187,265.92

Strategy for Part b):

Again, a profitable strategy can be executed without any actual cash flow changing hands at the beginning of the period. Since
Christoph believes that the dollar will strengthen to $1.28 in 30 days, he should sell euros forward now at the higher dollar
rate, wait 30 days and buy the euros needed on the open market at $1.28, and immediately then use those euros to fulfill his
forward contract to sell euros for dollars at $1.3350. For a profit.

Investment funds needed in 30 days $10,000,000.00

Spot rate in open market at end of 30 days $1.2800
Euros bought in open market in 30 days (Investment / spot rate) € 7,812,500.00

Stefan had sold these euros forward at the start of the 30 day period.
30 day forward rate (US$/€) $1.3350

Problem 7.5 Kapinsky Capital Geneva (B)

Christoph Hoffeman of Kapinsky Capital Geneva now believes the Swiss franc will appreciate versus the U.S.
dollar in the coming three-month period. He has $100,000 to invest. The current spot rate is $0.5820/SF, the
three-month forward rate is $0.5640/SF, and he expects the spot rates to reach $0.6250/SF in three months.

a. Calculate Christoph's expected profit assuming a pure spot market speculation strategy.
b. Calculate Christoph's expected profit assuming he buys or sells SF three months forward.

Problem 7.10 Arthur Doyle at Baker Street

Arthur Doyle is a currency trader for Baker Street, a private investment house in London. Baker Street’s clients are a collection of
wealthy private investors who, with a minimum stake of £250,000 each, wish to speculate on the movement of currencies. The
investors expect annual returns in excess of 25%. Although officed in London, all accounts and expectations are based in U.S. dollars.
Arthur is convinced that the British pound will slide significantly -- possibly to $1.3200/£ -- in the coming 30 to 60 days. The
current spot rate is $1.4260/£. Arthur wishes to buy a put on pounds which will yield the 25% return expected by his investors. Which
of the following put options would you recommend he purchase. Prove your choice is the preferable combination of strike price,
maturity, and up-front premium expense.

Issues for Sydney to consider:

1. Because his expectation is for "30 to 60 days" he should confine his choices to the 60 day options to be sure and capture
the timing of the exchange rate change. (We have no explicit idea of why he believes this specific timing.)

2. The choice of which strike price is an interesting debate.

* The lower the strike price (1.34 or 1.32), the cheaper the option price.
* The reason they are cheaper is that, statistically speaking, they are increasingly less likely to end up in the money.
* The choice, given that all the options are relatively "cheap," is to pick the strike price which will yield the required return.
* The $1.32 strike price is too far 'down,' given that Sydney only expects the pound to fall to about $1.32.
