(b) XYZ Limited a U.S.-based manufacturer of industrial equipment, just purchased a Korean company that produces plastic nuts and bolts for heavy equipment. The purchase price was Korean Won 7,500 million. Won 1,000 million has already been paid, and the remaining Won 6,500 million is due in six months. The current spot rate is Won 1,110/5, and the 6-month forward rate is Won1,175/$. The six-month Korean won interest rate is 16% per annum, the six-month US dollar rate is 4% per annum. XYZ Limited can invest at these interest rates, or borrow at 2% per annum above those rates. A six-month call option on won with a 1200/$ strike rate has a 3.0% premium, while the six-month put option at the same strike rate has a 2.4% premium. XYZ Limited's weighted average cost of capital is 10%.
