Question

Finance

Imagine you are the treasurer of a Japanese company exporting electronic equipment to the United States. All revenues are received in USD and all other expenses (e.g., R&D costs, costs of employees etc) are incurred in Japanese Yen.

Required:

(i) Discuss whether you need to hedge the foreign exchange risk and factors you need to consider when designing contracts to hedge the risks.

(ii) If the company is able to raise the price of its product in USD if Yen appreciates without affecting the sales volume, how would you adjust your recommendation in part (i) and sell your strategy to other executives?

Hint: If the company is able to raise the price of its product in USD if Yen appreciates, what does it tell you about the companys foreign exchange exposure? Which derivative security (securities) could be used to hedge this risk? There is no model answer to this question, you just have to provide reasoned explanations.
