You’re the CFO of the Overseas Sprocket Company, which imports a great deal of product from Europe and the Far East and is continually faced with exchange rate exposure on unfilled contracts. Harry Byrite, the head of purchasing, has a plan to avoid exchange rate losses. He suggests that the firm borrow enough money from the bank to buy a six-month supply of foreign exchange that would be kept in a safety deposit box until used. “We’d never have another unexpected exchange rate loss again,” says Harry. Prepare a polite response to Harry’s idea. Explain why you do or don’t like it, and suggest an alternative if you feel one is appropriate.
