*What are the causes of the currency exposure at AIFS?
*What would result if Archer-Lock and Tabaczynski did not hedge at all?
*What would happen with a 100% hedge with forwards? A 100% hedge with options? Use the forecast final

*Given the choice of (1) Do nothing — exchange at the spot rate; (2) Use 100 % forwards; (3) Use 100 %
options, what do you think Archer-Lock and Tabaczynski should do? Explain your reasoning.
