1) In order to answer the next question, you need to fill in future values in the following table. Your company has sold some parts to a Swiss distributor. Your firm will receive 8 million Swiss Francs (SF) in 180 days. The SF spot rate is .95 $/SF, and the 180-day forward rate is .96 $/SF. Currently you can enter into a future contract at .96 $/SF. Note, SF futures and options are for 125,000 SF per contract.

- Calculate the $/SF exchange rates for a 10% appreciation and depreciation of the SF in the top row.
- Finish filling in the second row; show how much in dollar terms the SF receivable will be worth to your company given changes in the SF.
- Enter (as a positive or negative) the number of futures contracts you plan to buy or sell to fully hedge your exposure in the SF. Ignoring interest from marking-to-market, fill the 3rd row with future values of these contracts (be careful). What will be your total future value (including the receivable) under each scenario given this transaction? Put that in the labeled row.
