Sir,pls how do the examiner come up with the net dollar import of $1,150,000?
And also under the money market hedge, how do the examiner arrived at £595,373 and I tried to multiply at 5.5% but did not get the total cost of £609,017. Pls I need your help sir
I thought lammer plc could borrow dollar.pls ,sir help me and explain why he is boorowing but pound. Thanks
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 grateful sir.thanks so much

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’.
