Assume that an investor has invested $100,000 in Japanese equities. When purchased, the stock's price and the exchange rate were ¥100 and ¥100/$1.00 respectively. At selling time, one year after purchase, they were ¥110 and ¥110/$1.00. There were no dividend payouts. If the investor had sold ¥10,000,000 forward at the forward exchange rate of ¥105/$1.00, the total dollar rate of return for the investor's combined foreign equity investment currency hedging would be _____
A.-27.27%

At the start of May, you purchased some shares in Apple (a US company) for $US 43.87, and hedged your position using forward contracts (hedging the purchase value of the shares). The exchange rate at the time of purchase was $US1 = $NZ 2.73, while the one month NZ interest rate was 7.90% and the one month US interest rate was 7.30% (both rates are per annum, with monthly compounding). At the end of May, the exchange rate was $US1 = $NZ 2.78, while the shares were worth $US 41.63. Apple paid no dividends during May. What was your ($NZ) holding period return over the month of May?

- Elan Pharmaceuticals. Elan Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based multinational pharmaceutical company, is evaluating an export sale of its cholesterol-reduction drug with a prospective Indonesian distributor. The purchase would be for 1,680 million Indonesian rupiah (Rp), which at the current spot exchange rate of Rp9,440/$, translates into $177,966.10. Although not a big sale by company standards, company policy dictates that sales must be settled for at least a minimum gross margin, in this case, a cash settlement of $171,000. The current 90-day forward rate is Rp9,940/$. Although this rate appeared unattractive, Elan had to contact several major banks before even finding a forward quote on the rupiah. The consensus of currency forecasters at the moment, however, is that the rupiah will continue to strengthen, possibly rising to Rp10,200/$ over the coming 90 to 120 days. Analyze the prospective sale and make a hedging recommendation.
