Allow the discount and receive payment in Japanese yen in cash Brent Bush, CFO of a medical device manufacturer, BioTron Medical, Inc., was approached by a Japanese customer, Numata, with a proposal to pay cash (in yen) for its typical orders of ¥12,500,000 every other month if it were given a 4.5% discount. Numata's current terms are 30 days with no discounts. Using the following quotes and estimated cost of capital for BioTron, Bush will compare the proposal with covering yen payments with forward contracts. Spot rate, ¥ /$ 30-day forward rate, ¥ /$ 90-day forward rate, ¥ /$ 180-day forward rate, ¥ /$ How much in U.S. dollars will BioTron Medical receive 1) with the discount and 2) with no discount but fully covered with a forward contract? Spot rate, ¥/$ 30-day forward rate, ¥/$ 90-day forward rate, ¥/$ 180-day forward rate, ¥/$

Problem 10.2 Bobcat Company Assumptions Values Purchase price of Korean manufacturer, in Korean won 7,500,000,000 Less initial payment, in Korean won (1,000,000,000) Net settlement needed, in Korean won, in six months 6,500,000,000 Current spot rate (Won/$) 1,110 Six month forward rate (Won/$) 1,175 Bobcat's cost of capital (WACC) 10.00% Options on Korean won: Call Option Put Option Strike price, won 1,200.00 1,200.00 Option premium (percent) 3.000% 2.400% United States Korea Six-month investment (not borrowing) interest rate (per annum) 4.000% 16.000% Borrowing premium of 2.000% 2.000% 2.000% Six-month borrowing rate (per annum) 6.000% 18.000% Bobcat Company, U.S.-based manufacturer of industrial equipment, just purchased a Korean company that produces plastic nuts and bolts for heavy equipment. The purchase price was Won7,500 million. Won1,000 million has already been paid, and the remaining Won6,500 million is due in six months. The current spot rate is Won1,110/$, and the 6- month forward rate is Won1,175/$. The six-month Korean won interest rate is 16% pe annum, the six-month US dollar rate is 4% per annum. Bobcat can invest at these interest rates, or borrow at 2% per annum above those rates. A six-month call option on won with a 1200/$ strike rate has a 3.0% premium, while the six-month put option at the same strike rate has a 2.4% premium. Bobcat can invest at the rates given above, or borrow at 2% per annum above those rates. Bobcat's weighted average cost of capital is 10%. Compare alternate ways that Bobcat might deal with its foreign exchange exposure. What do you recommend and why?
