Q 17 to Q 22 combined:

Melbourne Corp has future receivables of 10,000,000 (10 mio) New Zealand dollars (NZD) in one year from now. It must decide whether to use options or a forward market hedge to hedge this position. Use the following information. Today's spot exchange rate of NZD versus USD is 0.54 USD per NZD. The one-year Forward rate is 0.50 USD per NZD.

One year call option: Exercise price = 0.50 USD per NZD; premium = 0.07 USD per NZD One year put option: Exercise price = 0.52 USD per NZD; premium = 0.03 USD per NZD

Q 21: Instead of as in Q 18, suppose the spot exchange rate (number of USD per NZD) in one years time turns out to be 0.53, how much USD will Melbourne Corp be able to convert 10 mio NZD into? Give the answer to the nearest USD.
