Basic information for this currency pair USD/CAD

1. Determine the percentage change in the currency’s value over the period studied

2. Assume that on the day of DC1, you had contracted to purchase imports, which would require you to pay 1 million units of the currency on the day of DC2.

a. If you had hedged your position with a forward hedge, how many dollars would you have paid for the goods as of the end of the period?

b. If you had hedged your position with a futures hedge, how many dollars would you have paid for the goods as of the end of the school term?

c. If you had hedged your position with a call option hedge, how many dollars would you have paid for the payables as of the end of the period?

d. Assume that you used a money market hedge at the beginning of the school term by borrowing USD at the LIBOR rate + 2%, converted into the foreign currency and invested at the LIBOR rate for the foreign currency to obtain enough money to pay for the account payable.

How many dollars would you have to pay on the loan at the end of the school term?

e. If you did not hedge, how many dollars would you have paid for the goods as of the end of the school term?

f. Fill out the table below
Strategy used for payables Unit cost Total dollar amount paid before commissions Total cost after considering CME fees

3. This question connects with the forecast obtained in Fxstreet
Assume that the hedging decision depended on the forecast of the currency from FX street. If ALL analysts suggest that foreign currency is going up, then you want to hedge 100% of the payables. If ALL analysts suggest that foreign currency is going down, then you will play it conservatively and only hedge 25% of the exposure. You can choose to hedge a fraction of the amount based on the number (%) of analysts expecting an increase. Select the level and calculate the profit/loss for each hedging technique compared to the unhedged position (no hedge case).

Which alternative was best in this case? Was your forecast useful?
The best alternative is call option hedge OTM

4. Assume that as of the beginning of the school term, you had contracted to sell exports, which would result in your receiving 1 million units of the foreign currency at the end of the school term.

a. If you had hedged your position with a forward hedge, how many dollars would you have received for the goods as of the end of the school term?

b. If you had hedged your position with a futures hedge, how many dollars would you have received for the goods as of the end of the school term?

c. If you had hedged your position with put options, how many dollars would you have received for the goods as of the end of the school term (account for the premium that you paid for the put option)?

d. Assume that you used a money market hedge at the beginning of the school term by borrowing foreign currency at the LIBOR rate + 3%, converted into USD and invested in the business at an annual rate of 8%. How many dollars would you “receive” at the end of the school term?

e. If you did not hedge, how many dollars would you have received for the goods as of the end of the school term?
Final spot Total revenue

f. Fill out the table below
Strategy used for receivables Unit price Total dollar amount received

“5. This question also connects with the FXstreet forecasts and the hedging decision depends on the number of analysts projecting an adverse movement.
Which alternative was best in this case? Was your forecast useful?
The forward hedge provides the highest benefit for the investor.

6. What have you learned about the different hedging methods? Compare MM hedge and forward hedge. Compare forward hedge and futures hedge. Compare options and futures. Which is easier to use? Which is riskier? Which has a higher initial cost?

The two alternatives provides advantages and disadvantages to investor. The use of options provides the alternative to execute or not the derivative according to the conditions of the market until maturity, different to future, which depends on the spread between the future value and current value

Development Experiment Proposal

Thus far this term we have read about numerous research studies that have been completed with the goal of understanding some aspect of human development. It is now your turn to try your hand a designing a research study.

What is an area of human development that particularly interests you? Is there a theory that we have studied this far that you think needs more research? Pick an area that is interesting to you.

You will not be conducting this research; however, go through the steps of developing a study including: selecting a research question, developing a Hypothesis, designing an experiment, and identifying which data elements you will want to analyze.

You can do this in paragraph form, outline form, or a combination there of; whichever allows you to best communicate your research proposal. This finished document should be 2-3 pages in length

What was the significance of the Statute of Winchester, enacted in 1285?.Why is Sir Robert Peel an important person in our study of community policing?

Evolution of Canadian Policing

.• The role of the police in Canadian history differs from that of the United States, where police were often brought in to re-establish order.• Before Confederation in 1867, each region of the country had its own policing arrange-ments, depending on the size of the settlements, the characteristics of the population, and the specific needs of communities.• The mandate of early municipal police forces covered three main tasks:(1) policing con-flicts between labourers and business owners; (2) maintaining moral standards by enforcing laws against drunkenness,prostitution, and gambling, and(3) apprehending criminals.• The provincial police forces created in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba expe-rienced a number of difficulties. By the late 1920s these provincial forces had been replaced by the RCMP. In BC, the provincial police were replaced by the RCMP in 1950.• The RCMP, originally known as the North-West Mounted Police, was created in 1873 primarily to maintain law and order and ensure the orderly settlement of the previ-ously unpoliced and sparsely settled northwest territory.• The early 1900s to 1970 was the “professional era of policing,” during which efforts were made to increase the control and efficiency of the police.• Women have always been involved in policing, but it was not until 1974 that they began serving as front-line operational officers in Canada.• History plays a role in how communities see themselves and how they interact with the police.Self-EvaluationQuestions
