    Company 2 imports $890; Company 3 imports $750; Company 1 exports $490.

    890 + 750 – 490 = a net $1,150 (and all the figures in the question are given in ‘000’s !)

    The question says that the interest rates are annual rates, so you divide by 2 to get the rate for six months.

    Since Lammer is a net importer from the US, they will need to pay $’s.

    So they will borrow GBP, convert to $’s, and then invest the $’s.

    My free lectures on foreign exchange risk management will help you.

    I am now away from home until late Sunday night and so do not have access to the question.

    Please ask again on Monday and I will answer you then.

    Have you watched the free lectures on money market hedging?

    The need $1,150,000 in 5 months time, so they need to invest 1,150,000 / 1.08333 = $1,140,496 ‘now.
    Converting at 1.9156 ‘now’ means they need to borrow GBP 595,373 ‘now’.
