Lagoon (a U.S. firm) will be receiving 4 million British pounds in one year. It will need to make a payment of 3 million Polish zloty in one year. It has no other exchange rate risk at this time. However, it needs to buy supplies and can purchase them from Switzerland, Hong Kong, Canada, or Ecuador. Another alternative is that it could purchase one-fourth of the supplies from each of those 4 countries. The supplies will be invoiced in the currency of the country where they are imported from. Lagoon Co. believes that none of the sources of the imports would provide a clear cost advantage. As of today, the dollar cost of these supplies would be about $6 million regardless of the source that will provide the supplies. The spot rates today are as follows: British pound = $1.80 Swiss franc = $.60 Polish zloty = $.30 Hong Kong dollar = $.14 Canadian dollar = $.60 The movements of the pound and the Swiss franc and the Polish zloty against the dollar are highly correlated.

Suppose that Retrojo Inc. is a U.S. based MNC that will need to purchase F$2.00 million (Fijian dollars, F$) worth of imports from Fiji in 90 days. Currently, the spot rate for the Fijian dollar is $0.80 per F$. Suppose that Retrojo negotiates a forward contract with a bank, which commits it to purchasing Fijian dollars at F $2,000,000.00 at $0.80 per Fijian dollar in 90 days. Thus, Retrojo knows with certainty that it will need F$2,000,000.00×$0.80 per Fijian dollars =$1,600,000.00 for this exchange. Assume the Fijian dollar depreciates over this time period to $0.67 per Fijian dollar. If this were the case the outside of the contract only (U.S. dollars) would be needed to exchange for the required F$2,000,000.00.
