Testa acquired a Spanish
packaging company. The Spanish investment involved Testa acquiring 200,000
shares of a packaging company at EUR90 per share. He decided to fully hedge the

at initiation and three months later are provided in Exhibit 1.
Using Exhibit 1,
if the Spanish shares had been sold after three months, the cash outflow (in US

The initial
foreign asset position was EUR18 million: 200,000 shares × EUR90/share. The
six-month forward contract would have been sold using the bid of the base currency
(euro) at an all-in forward rate of 1.3935 – 19/10,000 = 1.3916 USD/EUR.
If the position
had been closed in three months, a three-month forward contract would have to
be purchased at the offer of the base
currency at an all-in forward rate of 1.4210 – 21/10,000 = 1.4189 USD/EUR.
The cash outflow
at settlement would have been EUR18 million×(1.4189–1.3916)USD/EUR
= USD491,400. This amount needs to be discounted by three months at the US dollar
Libor rate: 491,400/(1 + 0.01266 × 90/360) = USD489,850.
