Maple Tree Limited is a Canadian company who has recently signed a new contract with a supplier who is based in Chin

  1. Maple Tree Limited will be buying a raw material with a reputation for severe price fluctuations.
    Which of the following would help mitigate the risk that this poses? Select TWO options
  2. quote in the supplier's currency
  3. quote in the buyer's currency
  4. use a forward exchange contract
  5. fix the exchange rate at the current rate

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

The correct answers are 3 + 4. To mitigate the risk, you want to ensure price stability for the duration of the contract- you don't want the prices to keep going up and down. Therefore options 1 and 2 wouldn't help- the prices would still go up and down regardless of which currency was used for quotes. Using a forward contract, or fixing the exchange rate, however, would give price certainty,

and therefore mitigate the risk. See p.23 for more information on currency risks and how to overcome these
