问题如下:
Consider a US-based VC firm that is calling down capital commitments and will receive CAD50 million in 30 days. The general partner decides to sell futures contracts to lock in the current USD/CAD rate. The hedge ratio is assumed to be equal to 1.
The price for the Canadian dollar futures contract is 0.7838 USD/CAD and the contract size of CAD100,000. To hedge its risk, the firm should:
选项:
A.sell 500 future contracts.
B.buy 500 future contracts.
C.sell 50 future contracts.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:futures管理汇率风险
