While deciding on the strategy for the coming year, Nitin is faced with the challenge on how to mitigate the currency risk. In the past, there have been instances where Nitin has quoted the price at the prevalent currency rate and by the time the export proceeds were realised, he received a lesser value for his goods. Nitin extracted the data of Foreign Exchange Rates for the past year and, on analysis, found that there had been an average 5-7 per cent fluctuation in the foreign currency rates against the Indian Rupee on a daily basis. Nitin was unable to decide whether to hedge the foreign currency or not. Narayan advised Nitin that there were two ways of hedging the currency risk:
1. A forward contract between a bank and a customer calls for a delivery, at a fixed future date, of a specified amount of one currency against another currency at an exchange rate fixed at a time the contract is entered into.
2. An option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right but not the obligation to sell or buy another financial instrument at a set price and expiration date.
Recommend the best method of hedging currency risk and explain why you chose it.

Changing the Cost Formula for a Month to the Cost Formula for a Year During the past year, the high and low use of three different resources for Fly High Airlines occurred in July and April. The resources are airplane depreciation, fuel, and airplane maintenance. The number of airplane flight hours is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the related number of airplane flight hours are as follows:
| Resource | Airplane Flight Hours | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Airline Depreciation: | ||
| High | 44,000 | $18,100,000 |
| Low | 28,000 | $18,100,000 |
| Fuel: | ||
| High | 44,000 | 445,896,000 |
| Low | 28,000 | 283,752,000 |
| Airplane maintenance: | ||
| High | 44,000 | 15,976,000 |
| Low | 28,000 | 12,080,000 |
Required:
If required, round calculations and answers to nearest dollar.

You are considering investing in a project in Mexico. The project will be a 2 year project, has an initial cost of 100K USD, and expected after tax profit of 1 million MXP per year. You expect the MXP to be valued at 0.12 USD/MXP. There are two major risks that you think have the potential to significantly affect project performance, which you assume are independent: * You think with probability of 0.17 that the MXP will depreciate to 0.1 USD/MXP. * You also think that with probability of 0.28 the Mexican economy will weaken substantially, in which case the project's after tax annual cash flow will be only 600K MXP. Your required return on the project is 18%. What is the expected value of the NPV of this project, as measured in USD?
