Assume that Nike has a contract to receive 64 million Canadian Dollars (CAD) in 150 days. • The current spot rate is $0.667 per CAD • The 150-day future rate is $0.679 per CAD • Annualized money market rates are 4.41% in Canada and 7.30% in the US • A 150-day call with a strike of $0.65 is selling for $0.041 • A 150-day put with a strike of $0.70 is selling for $0.022 a. If you wanted to hedge, explain how Nike could do that with the future, the call, and the put (would it buy or sell each and why)? b. If Nike wanted to do a money market hedge, explain how that would be constructed (where would Nike borrow money and where would it invest)? Nike would borrow in Canada and invest in the US.
