3) Assume that the Japanese yen is trading at a spot price of 87.16 cents per 100 yen. Further assume that the premium of an American call (put) option with a strike price of 87 is 1.20 (1.06) cents. Calculate the intrinsic value and the time value of the call and put options.

4) Airbus sold an A400 aircraft to Delta Airlines, a U.S. company, and billed $30 million payable in six months. Airbus is concerned about the euro proceeds from international sales and would like to control exchange risk. The current spot exchange rate is 1.05 $/euro and the six-month forward rate exchange rate is 1.10 $/euro. Airbus can buy a six-month put option on U.S. dollars with a strike price of 0.95 euro/$ for a premium of .02 euro per U.S. dollar. Currently, the six-month interest rate is 2.5% in the euro zone and 3% in the United States.

a. Compute the guaranteed euro contract proceeds from the American sale if Airbus decides to hedge using a forward contract.

b. If Airbus decides to hedge using money market instruments, what action does Airbus need to take? What would be the guaranteed euro proceeds from the American sale in this case?

c. If Airbus decides to hedge using put options on U.S. dollars, what would be the expected euro proceeds from the American sale? Assume that Airbus regards the current forward exchange rate as an unbiased predictor of the future spot rate.

d. At what future spot exchange rate do you think Airbus will be indifferent between the option and money market hedge?
