Comparison of Hedging Techniques You own a U.S. exporting firm and will receive 10 million Swiss francs in 1 year. Assume that interest parity exists. Assume zero transaction costs. Today, the 1-year interest rate in the United States is 7 percent, and the 1-year interest rate in Switzerland is 9 percent. You believe that today’s spot rate of the Swiss franc (which is $.85) is the best predictor of the spot rate 1 year from now. You consider these alternatives:
 ■hedge with 1-year forward contract,
 ■hedge with a money market hedge,
 ■hedge with at-the-money put options on Swiss francs with a 1-year expiration date, or
â– remain unhedged. Which alternative will generate the highest expected amount of dollars? If multiple alternatives are tied for generating the highest expected amount of dollars, list each of them.
