Assume the following information:
U.S. deposit rate for 1 year = 11%
U.S. borrowing rate for 1 year = 12%
New Zealand deposit rate for 1 year = 8%
New Zealand borrowing rate for 1 year = 10%
New Zealand dollar forward rate for 1 year = $.40
New Zealand dollar spot rate = $.39
Also assume that a U.S. exporter denominates its New Zealand exports in NZ$ and expects to receive NZ$600,000 in 90 days. You are a consultant for this firm.
Using the information above, what will be the approximate value of these exports in 90 days in U.S. dollars given that the firm executes a money market hedge?
