Q 1.2)

Assume that Credit Suisse, a world leading financial institution headquartered in Switzerland, borrows 100,000,000 for ten years commencing on January 1, 2015 for its operation in the Eurozone. According to the terms of the loan, Credit Suisse pays interest at the end of each year and pays back the principle at the end of ten years. On the borrowing date, the relevant financial information is:

Spot = SFr1.20/ (SFr: Swiss franc)

i = 5.0%

iSFr = 3.0%

Suppose that on December 31, 2015, the spot rate is SFr1.05/.

Your answer: SFr---------------------------
