The firm’s estimate of the standard deviation of the daily percentage change in the yen during the previous 100 days is 1.1%. Given that the spot rate for the Yen is $0.012, find
(a) The value of the yen based on the maximum one day loss if the firm expects a 0.5% fall in its value.
(b) The potential dollar loss for the Bundy co. if the percentage variability in the daily movements of the yen is 1.3%.
(c) The potential dollar loss if the confidence interval is 90% and the percentage variability of the yen is unchanged at 1.1%
