take a long forward position and pay¥680,000
C. ABC will
take a long forward position and receive¥680,000
解释:
B is correct.
考点:Foreign Currency Risk
解析:
因为该公司未来需要支付美元,担心美元上涨。因此它需要买美元,即long forward,到期可以以固定汇率6.8人民币的价格买美元。3个月之后,公司支付100,000×6.8=680,000人民币,收到100,000美元。再将这100,000美元支付给美国的公司,从而回避了汇率风险。
另外需要注意的是,对于外汇合约来说,long or short都是针对base currency(斜杠后面的货币),在这一题中即为美元。我们需要先买美元再支付给美国公司,所以是long forward.
pay 美元 receive 人民币 这有什么问题吗 long short方向我是懂的
