Reference no: EM1348080

A US importer is concerned about the appreciation of Euro against USD due to Euro payables of EUR10,000,000 in three months. To hedge (protect himself/herself) the position, exporter decides to use futures markets. Currently CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) EURO contracts (125,000 each) are traded at USD1.0814. Spot rate is EUR/USD1.0751-0756 (USDs per EURO). Suppose the exporter takes an equal futures position to its cash market position (EUR10m) at $1.0814. Provided that futures contract price and spot rates are $1.1250/Euro and $1.0935/Euro respectively when the hedge is liquidated, what should be the unit cost of EURO for the US importer in USD terms.
