Back to Assignment Attempts Keep the Highest/3 4. Transaction exposure based on value at risk Suppose that Colorado Co., a U.S. based MNC, seeks to assess its transaction exposure using the value-at-risk (VaR) method over the next quarter. It is primarily concerned about its exposure in euros, as it has determined that the remainder of its portfolio is such that the effects of currency fluctuations typically offset. Suppose that, based on historical data, it has determined that the expected change in the value of the euro is -2.00% over the next quarter and that the standard deviation of these changes is 2.00%. Colorado assumes that these changes are normally distributed, such that the maximum quarterly loss lies within 1.65 standard deviations below the expected change with 95% confidence. Under this scenario, the maximum one-quarter loss due to transaction exposure is approximately with 95% confidence. Now suppose that Colorado would like to estimate the maximum loss with 99% confidence, meaning that the biggest loss lies within 2.33 standard deviations of the expected change in the euro. All else remains unchanged. Under this scenario the maximum one-quarter loss due to transaction exposure is approximately with 99% confidence. Based on these results, the larger confidence level used, the the maximum loss will be. Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue without saving Back to Assignment Attempts Keep the Highest/3 4.
