36、the proceeds of the sale2) Trident would exchange the £975,610 at the spot rate of $1.7640/£ and receive $1,720,976 at once In order to compare the forward hedge with the money market hedge, Maria must analyze the use of the loan proceeds First, if Trident is cash rich the loan proceeds mi

Because the proceeds in 3 months from the forward h

The forward hedge would be preferable if Maria were to just invest the loan proceeds (6%)c. We will assume she uses

40、 the cost of capital as the reinvestment rate A breakeven investment rate can be calculated in order to forgo numerous calculations and still aid Maria in her decisionTo convert this 3 month rate to an annual rate, In other words, if Maria can invest the loan proceeds at a rate equal to or greater t

This allows her to speculate on the upside potential for appreciation of the pound while limiting her downside risk¨ Given the quote earlier, Maria could purchase 3 month put option at an ATM strike price of $1.75/£ and a premium of 1.5%¨ The cost of this option would be (Size of option)(Premium)(Spot price)=Cost of option £1,000,0
