Homework: Chapter 10 Homework Question 2, Problem 10-5 (algorithmic) Part 2 of 5 GOTDE HW Score: 20%, 2 of 10 points O Points: 0 of 2 Elan Pharmaceuticals. Elan Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based multinational pharmaceutical company, is evaluating an export sale of its cholesterol-reduction drug with a prospective Indonesian distributor. The purchase would be for 1,680 million Indonesian rupiah (Rp), which at the current spot exchange rate of Rp9,440/$, translates into $177,966.10. Although not a big sale by company standards, company policy dictates that sales must be settled for at least a minimum gross margin, in this case, a cash settlement of $171,000. The current 90-day forward rate is Rp9,940/$. Although this rate appeared unattractive, Elan had to contact several major banks before even finding a forward quote on the rupiah. The consensus of currency forecasters at the moment, however, is that the rupiah will continue to strengthen, possibly rising to Rp10,200/$ over the coming 90 to 120 days. Analyze the prospective sale and make a hedging recommendation. How much in U.S. dollars will Elan receive in 90 days without a hedge if the expected spot rate in 90 days is assumed to be Rp9,440/5? $177,966.10 (Round to the nearest cent.) How much in U.S. dollars will Elan receive in 90 days without a hedge if the expected spot rate in 90 days is assumed to be Rp10,200/$? $177778 (Round to the nearest cent.)
