Explanation & Answer
View attached explanation and answer. Let me know if you have any questions.
Crane Industries has purchased equipment from a Brazilian firm for a total cost
of 280,000 Brazilian reals. The firm has to pay in 30 days. Citibank has given the firm a
30-day forward quote of $0.3102/real. Assume that on the day the payment is due, the
spot rate is $0.3425/real. How much would Crane save by hedging with a forward
contract? (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places,
e.g. 15.25.)
