Which of the following is (or are) true? On the maturity date of the contract Boeing will: (i) have to deliver €10 million to the bank (the counterparty of the forward contract) (ii) take delivery of $14.6 million (iii) have a zero net euro exposure (iv) have a profit, or a loss, depending on the future changes in the dollar-euro exchange rate, from this German (euro currency zone) sale Group of answer choices (i) and (iv) (ii) and (iv) (ii), (iii), and (iv) (i), (ii), and (iii)

Sagot :

Answer:

All Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) except (iv) are correct.

Explanation:

Solution:

Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) are correct in this question.

As we know that, it is a forward contract at the time of maturity so, Boeing 747 will have to deliver 10 million euros to the bank as per the forward contract obligation (fulfills the choice (i)). Furthermore, with forward currency, after selling 10 million euro worth of contract, Boeing 747 will take delivery at 14.6 million dollars  which is in US dollars as currency exchange (fulfills the choice (ii)). Hence, after maturity it will not have any exposure to euro (fulfills the choice (iii)).  

Hence, All Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) except (iv) are correct.
