A 3-month put option on Singapore dollars is available, with an exercise price of SGD/USD = 0.752 and a premium of $.03 per unit. A 3-month call option on Singapore dollars is available with an exercise price of SGD/USD = 0.762 and a premium of $.01 per unit.
Assume that ABC Co. will need to pay 2 million Singapore dollars in 3 months. Given the above relevant information, determine whether a forward hedge, money market hedge or a currency options hedge would be most appropriate. Then compare the most appropriate hedge to an unhedged strategy and decide whether ABC Co. should hedge its receivables position. Please provide a detailed explanation of your answers.
