Carbondale created a probability distribution for the future spot rate in one year as follows: . FUTURE SPOT RATE PROBABILITY $0.63 20% 0.66 50 0.71 30 Assume that one-year put options on Singapore dollars are available, with an exercise price of $0.66 and a premium of $0.04 per unit. One-year call options on Singapore dollars are available with an exercise price of $0.61 and a premium of $0.03 per unit. Assume the following money market rates: U.S. SINGAPORE Deposit rate 10% Borrowing rate 11 Given this information, determine whether a forward hedge, a money market hedge, or a currency options hedge would be most appropriate. Then compare the most appropriate hedge to an unhedged strategy, and decide whether Carbondale should hedge its receivables position. Do not round intermediate calculations.

The put option hedge is superior to the forward hedge and money market hedge. The optimal hedge (the option hedge) is preferable to the unhedged strategy because there is a 70 percent chance that it will out the unhedged strategy. II. The forward hedge is superior to the money market hedge and has a 70% chance of outperforming the pu hedge. Therefore, the forward hedge is the optimal hedge. When comparing the optimal hedge (the forwa hedge) to no hedge, the unhedged strategy has an 80% chance of outperforming the forward hedge. Ther the firm may desire to remain unhedged. III. The money market hedge is superior to the forward hedge and has a 70% chance of outperforming the put hedge. Therefore, the money market hedge is the optimal hedge.
