Discuss the following question which deals with financing that reduces exchange rate risk.
Kerr, Inc., a major U.S. exporter of products to Japan denominates its exports in dollars and has no other international business. It can borrow dollars at 9 percent to finance its operations or borrow yen at 3 percent. If it borrows yen, it will be exposed to exchange rate risk. How can Kerr borrow yen and possibly reduce its economic exposure to exchange rate risk?
